AN EASTERN LANDLADY. 

 " How long before dinner, niadatii ? " " When 

 ye see it oti the table, I guess y« 'II know," was 

 the rapid annwer. " True, very true," said » pas- 

 senger, "wo (lid not think of tlint." "Guess yc 'd 

 best bring thoughts ulong with yc;" ntid in a twink- 

 ling darted towards the frying-pan in ibo kitchen. 



The shoulder-blade of lamb, and bacon and eggs, i 

 were soon on the board, and we commenced de- \ 

 predalioiis. " Have you any cider, madam, and 

 how is it '- " said my fiieiid. '• Here 's cider, and 

 ihcrc 's water — try which you like test, and you'll 

 soon (itid out ' Aou> 'tis," sniil our attendant, with '■ 

 an aspect tart enough to make good vinegar of the | 



iile iiitig. All this was of course very amusing,' 

 and we felt in a humor to make further experi- ! 

 ments. " The clock seems ralhcr slow, madam — ' 

 a good half hour at least, behind our time." " The 

 clock 's a good clock enough — none o' yer wood- 

 en clocks — nearer right than any ofyour watches, ] 

 I 'II warrant — we witid it every Monday." We 

 found this rather isliarp shooting for us. Having 

 been worsted evciy time, we were ilisposed to 

 make peace ; and for this purpose, proposed regu- 

 lating our watches by a clock which was wound , 

 up so carefully ; but even this siibtnission did not ' 

 prevent an e.\pression of countenance — a kind of i 

 emphatic twist, as who should say, " Nobody cores ' 

 about your watches." lly this time the blueberry ' 

 pic was titiished, and the table nearly cleared by 

 this active waiter, who disposed of the (ilates as ' 

 rapidly as she rattled her tongue. '• Now, mailam, 

 what '3 the damage ? " " Damage," said she, knit- 



j her brow, " what d'ye mean by damage ? •No 

 datnage done here, as I know of." " We mean 

 how much to pay for the dinner? " " There's the 

 owner, ask him — why d' ye ask me ? " We merely 

 thought you would ho able to tell the \mcc of a 

 good dinner that you jirepare so often." " I gupss 

 we don't tell all we know, and if we did, it would 

 tiot be much neither." Resort was now had to the 

 old host,' who sat fjtiietly smoking his pipe at the 

 window, and the bill adjusted. By this time our 

 worthy pattern of the laconic was seated in the 

 rocking chair, knitting with all conceivable velo- 

 city, when one of our number, by way of cxperi- 

 nietit, had the temerity to ask her, if she had ever 

 visited the Ifliite Hills. "White Hills — no — what 

 should I go there for .' " " Perhaps to enjoy the. 

 grand scenery," said lie. " Have you ever been 

 tlicre ? " was soon retorted upon us. " Never — but 

 going fast as possible." " Well how d' you know 

 the scenery is grand? I guess you go by hearsay." 

 This was too much for us; tli'e stage was "ready," 

 and we made a precipitate retreat. 



VOX GRAPE WINE. 



The editor of the Lynchburg Virginion 

 been furtiislied by I)r Owens with the follow 

 receipt for tiiaking wine from the Atucritaii 

 nicotic (fox) grape : —

 and to every gallon of juice, add two pound 

 brown stigar ; fill the cask about ihree-fourtbs

The Slothful Farmer. — The Committee on Agri- 

 culttiral Pro>lucts and Farms, of the llillsborotigh 

 Agricultural Society, at their late Cattle Show, re- 

 ported that — " Few are the instances in which 

 their eyes have met with the farms of negligent, 

 careless, or inlemporate husbandmen. They have 

 occasionally, as if it were no more than for light 

 and shade in t'nc picttire of our country, seen the 

 farm of the slothful ; his grass land worn out — liis 

 crops spitidlitig ujt in wcaknes.-t for want of nutri- 

 ment — his fences prostrated — his lartn covered 

 with bushes — the brake, the barngrass, the bunlock 

 anil the thistle, flourishing finely utidcr his adtnitiis- 

 tration, in every corner of his farm — the avt-nttcs 

 to bis hotise, thronged with wood, chips, an<l lum- 

 ber, for the benefit of the neighboring surgeons — 

 his windows williont glass, and sttitl'eil w iib old 

 hats or rags — and the rude winds every day nia- 

 ing new ravages tipon its buildings. AVitli him, 

 nothing has its place, nor is anything repaired, only 

 as necessity urges. Disorder and cotifusioti tri- 

 iiniph it) all his aH'airs, and he •leurly exhibits a 

 character disgraceful to his prdfossion, ami injuri- 

 ous to the community."
