DR. JOHNSON'S PODDING.
Oxn summer I mado an excursion to
Scotland, Willi tho Intention of complet
ing my series of views, and went over
the Humo ground described by tho learn
ed touriits, Dr. Johnson and IJoswcll.
I am in tho habit f taking very long
walk.) on theso occasions; perceiving n
storm threaten, I mado tho best of my
way to n small inn, nnd was received
by a respectabl'j looking man and his
wife, who did all in their power to
niako mo comfortable. After eating
some excellent fried mutton-chops, and
drinking a miart of ale, I asked tho
landlord to partakeof a bowl ofwhiskey
punch. I found him, as tho Scotch
generally are, very Intelligent and full
of anecdote, of which tho following may
servo as a specimen :
Sir, said tho landlord, this Inn was
formerly kept by Andrew 3Iacgregor,a
relative of mine; and these hard-bot-toined
chairs (in which wo arc now sit
ting) were,ycars ago,fllIed wltli tho great
tourists, Dr. Johnson and IJoswoll,
travelling liko tho linn and Jackal. Uns
well, generally preceded tho Doctor In
search of food, and, being much pleased
with tho looks of tho house, followed
Ids noso into the larder, where ho taw
a fine leg of mutton, lie ordered it to
bo roasted with tho utmost expedition,
and gavo particular orders for a nice
puddings.
"Now," says he, "mako the best of
all pudding."
Klatcd with his good luck, ho imme
diately went out in search of Ills friend ,
and saw tho giant of learning slowly
advancing on a pony.
"My dear sir," said Uoswcll out of
breath, "good news I I have Just be
spoke at a comfortable and clean inn
here, a delicious leg of mutton ; it is
now getting ready, and 1 flatter mynolf
that wo shall have an excellent
meal."
"And I hope," said he, "you liavo
bespoke a pudding."
"Sir, you will liavo your favorite,
pudding," replied tho other.
Johnson got oil' tho pony, and tho
poor animal, relieved from tho glunt,
smelt his way into tho stable lloswell
ushered tho Doctor Into tho hotiso, and
left him to prepare for his delicious
treat. Johnson feeling ills coat rather
damp, from tho mist of tho niountains,
went Into tho kitchen, and threw his
upper garment on a chair beloro tho
Hie ; ho sat on a hob, near a littlo boy
who was busy attending tho meat
Johnson occasionally peeped from be
hind Ids coat, while tho boy kept bast
ing the mutton. Johnson did not like
tho appearance of ills head; when ho
shifted tho basting hullo from onohand
tho other hand was nover idle, nnd tho
Doctor thought at tho same tlmo ho
saw something fall on tho meat; upon
which lie determined to eat no mutton
on 1 lint day. Tho dinner announced,
lloswell exclaimed :
"My dear Doctor, hero cumes the
mutton ! What a picture ! Done to
turn, mul looks mi beautifully
brown !"
The Doctor tittered. After a short
grace, Hoswell said :
"I supposo 1 am to carve, us usual
what part shall 1 help you to V"
Tho Doctor replied :
My Dear llozy, I diil not liko to tell
you beforo, but 1 am determined to ah
stain from meat to-day."
"() dear! this is a great disappoint
incut," Mild Dozy

amplo amends with tho pudding.
Hoswell commenced the attacl
and
mado tho first cut Q.".J'" mutton.
"How thogravy.runs; what lino na-
iorctl fat j so nlco and brown, too. Oil,
sir, you fotihl liovo relished this prime
piece of mutton." .
I'ho meat being romovetl.lu camo tuu
long wished for pudding. Tho Doctor
looked Joyous, fclUtjCgerly to, mul In
a fow moments nearly finished tho pud
ding. Tho tablo was cloarod and Dos-
U'oll Ml 111 m.
"Doctor, whito I wiwWIng tho 111111?
Ion, you seemed frequently inclined 10
laugh ; pray, tell 1110 what ticuicu your
fancy."
Tho Doctor then literally told ilm
all jliat briil passed at tlio kitchen lire
about tho boy and tno unsung, no.s
w'ell turned ns palo as n parsnip and,
sickoriilmseir nnd tlio company, nan
ed out of tho room. .Bomowhat rellov
ed. on returning, ho Insisted on bcelng
tliu dlrly littlo rascally boy, whom ho
severely reprimanded lieioro jonnson.
Tlio poor boy cried tho Doetor'lnugh
ed. "You littlo, lllthy, milvcllng hound,"
said Hoswell, "when you basted tlio
meat, why did ynu not put on tlio cap I
Biiwyou In tills iiioriilii(,'V"
"1 couliln't sir," Haiti tliu boy.
"Xo! Why couldn't you'.'" wild Ilos-
well.
"llt'cniHo my mnminy took it from
mu to lioll tlioiitnliling in 1"
Tho Doctor Bntlii'rcil tip hi liciTiilcnn
frame, btood meet, touched the rulllng
wltli lit-t wiff, ritured or niulnted ; in
deed, lookeil any way but tho right
way. At last, with mouth wide onei!
(none of tliu smallest) and stomach
lieavineho with some dlUleulty recover
ed ills breath, and, looking nt Howell
with dignllled contempt, lie roared out
with tho liuigiofiiKteiitor.
"Jlr. Dowell, sir, leave olVlatigliing,
and, under pain of my eternal di-iplciH-ure,
never utter a Hlngle syllablo of this
abominable adventure to any soul liv
ing while you breathe."
And such, said mine lio-t, you havu
tho po-iltlvo fact from tliu simple mouth
of your humble servant.
Accepted Masons.
At an inn in tho west of England sev
eral people wero sitting nround the Hro
in a largo kitchen. Among them were
a travelling woman nnd a tailor. In
this Inn, n Masonic lodgo was held, and
it being tho evening for their meeting,
several members passed through tho
room on their way to the lodgo room.
This introduced obsers-ntlons on tho
principles of Masonry and the signs
by which Masons could be known to
each other.
Tho woman said there was not so
much mystery as people Imagined, for
slio could show anybody tho -Masons'
sign.
What" said tho tni lor, "that of a
Free and Accepted Mason '."
'Yes' said oho 'and I will wager you
a largo bowl of punch, and any mem
ber youchooso shall confirm it.' 'Why
said lie, 'n woman never was admitted,
and is it possiblo you can know nnv of
their signs i"
'Xo matter fortlml, I -will readily for
feit the wager If I do not establish the
fact,'
The tailor finally agreed to accept the
bet and tho price of the punch was de
posited. Tho woman got up and took hold of
the tailor by the collar, saying 'Come
follow me.' Thlshedld trembling, fear
ing ho was to undergo some part of
tho discipline in tho making of a Mason
of which ho had heard a dreadful report.
She led him into tli'i street and point
ing to tho lgn of the l.lou and tho
Lamb, asked him whose sign it was.
IIo answered, 'It was Mr. I.nrders'
(the name of the Innkeeper.)
'It hp. H l.'ro-iimin .
'Yes.'
'Then,' snld tho woman 'I have shown
ynu the sign of a Free ami Accepted
Ma-oii.'
Tho laugh was so much against
poor
was
pre-
snip for being taken in, that it
with some dilllcttlty he could be
vailed on to partake of the punch.

Into number of tho Weekly, an excellent
literary Journal edited by a lady:
Wo met John on the stair-, lie was
carrying an old cradle, to bo stowed

in the lumber room. Ono rocker was
gone, and tho wicker work of the sides

What golden heads were onco pillowed
here, heads on which the curls grew
moist in slumber, and cheeks aud Hps
flushed to the lino of ro-oleives. When
sleep broke, tho silken fringed lids
opened heavily from tho slumberous
eyes ; smiles flitted like unbcaius over
tho face; tho whito list was thrust into
tho mouth, and when mama lifted the
muslin and peeped to see if the baby
was sleeping, cooing and crowing was
heard. The littlo feet began lo kick,
out of pure delight, and kicked until
both of tho tiny red shoes were landed
at the foot of tho cradle. Where tiro

Hour Tho Devil lost.
Tin: following is too good lo be lost.
Wo clip 11 from an exchange paper,nnd
respectfully call tlio attention to It of
certain persons who feel disposed to
spread in the newspaper lino.
A young man who ardently desired
wealth, was visited by ids SaUtnlc mr,
est'y, who tempted him to prom Iso
soul for oiern.'ty, II" lio could bo
piled on this eartfi -d'.'l'l.n" tll3
he could use. The bargain was co(- (.
tied tho devil was to supply tho. -ey,
and was at last to linvo tliosotii
less tho young mail could spend n .
11101 ey than tlio dovll could furidsi.
Years passed awuy tlio man married,
was extravagant in ids living, built
palaces, speculated widely lost ami
gavo away fortunes, and yet his coffers
wero always full. IIo turned politician
and bribed ids way into power and
fame, without reducing his "pile" of
gold. Ho became a "fllllbuster," and
fitted out ships nnd armies, but ids
banker honored ail Jits drafts. IIo went
to St. Paul to livo and paid tho usual
rales of interest for all tlio money ho
could borrow, but though tho devil
mado wry faces when lie camo to buy
tlio bills, yet they were all paid. Ono
experiment after another failed ; the
dovll counted tho time, only two years,
that lie must wait for tlio soul, and
mocked thoefl'orts oftiie despairing man.
Ono moro trial was resolved upon tho
man started a newspaper! Tho dovll
growled nl the bill at tlio end of tho
first quarter, was savago at the end of
six months, melancholy in nine, and
broke, "dead broke," at tlio end of tho
year. So tho newspaper went down,
but tlio soul wa.s saved.
A Good Marriago Ceremony.
Tub following curiosi custom of
tho Xeslorlan Christians is commended
to tho serious attention of tho young
gentlemen and young ladies of our
country, who propose to commit matri
mony. After tho inarrlngo ceremony
has been performed tlio wedding party
Is taken in wagons from tlio church to
thehoiiso of tho bridegroom's father.
Wlieu the second wagon, in which tlio
bride is seated alone, readies tlio gate,
opening into the yard in which tlio
house is situated, it is halted, nnd tlio
bridegroom's mother comes to meet 11,
wltli a baby and threo suits of baby
clothes in her arms. She throws tho
child and tho clothes into tho arms or
tlio bride, who is required to dress and
undress the baby thrao times In the
prc.senco of her motlicr-In-law, who
watches every movement as only a
inotlier-lu-law can watch a. daughter-in-law.
If tho nowly-mado brido does
not perform tho operation to tlio satis
faction of her sovero Judge, sho is con
sidered unfit for her new position, tho
wagon Is turned around, and slio Is ta
ken back homo for further instruction ;
wliilo tho poor bridegroom is compel
led to live in single blessedness until
his wifo is educated up to tho proper
standard,
How Dutch Gap Got its Namc
Tho following is told by a Southern
correspondent of thoHrooklyn Eajlc:
"An Englishman and a Dulichnian,so
tlio story runs, undertook, for a wager,
to row their respectlvo skiffs from a
placo seven miles below the gap to a
point abovu it. Tlio man who first ar
rived at tlio place of destination was to
lie considered tho champion, and to re
ceive tlio stakes. Hotli started. The
Englishman pulled out vigorously,
wliilo tho Dutcliman.witli truoTcutonic
inipurtabillty, suffered ids opponent to
go ahead without nn apparent etlort to
keep up with him. When the English
man began to round tlio bluff, after
nas-lng tho gap, tlio Dutchman was
"hull down" and almost out of sight of
his antagonist, who was counting on a
"sure tiling of it," When tho Dutch
man reached tlio gap, ho ran his skiff
on shore, raised It 011 hisslioulders.nnd
made his way with all possible despatch
across the few hundred feet of interven
ing space. When tho Englishman ar
rived at the point at which the race
was to terminate, what was his aston
ishment to find his opponent In Ids
skill', calmly awaiting his appearance,
having relieved tho weariness of ids
stay by smoking, with Dutch leisure,
three or four pipes of tobacco. Whether
the Dutchman succeeded by ids trick in
I winning the wager Is not known, but
he gave a name to the gap.
