mounted with the terrible bayonet, the
madman rushed out into the city and pret

"marching along." Turning a corner, he
suddenly came upon Gov. Leverett, and
was one the point of making a pointblank

/R BAD OTORY,
A friend has related to us the facts de

public, because they convey an impressive
warning; For obvious reasons the name
of the young man it withheld. About six
years ago, a son Of one of
the wealthiest and most respected citizens
of a neighboring fiW.e, graduated with de
cided credit, at ValoCollege. He attained
hiss mii t jWity abed the same time, and came
into possession bfsl7,ooo in ready money.
Thus, all the adraniages that wealth, talents
and friends ca{ secure, were at his com
mand.
' With the liudable defire of obtaining a
practical knheledge of men and things in
Europe, here commencing the profession
he hid sele4ted, he made the tour of Great
Britain, G many, Italy,' France, Ste.—

association which led him' into all the
vices and xtravagances of that gay and
dissolute y. Spell b ound, he lingered
there unti habits of dissipation and vice
were conlrined, and his funds nearly ex
hausted. !
After an alsence of some years he return

misfortun and reverses had overtaken his
father, un r the weight of which the old

PAT AND THE DOCTOR -OE THE MED
ICAL STUDENT'S JOKE.
The "Spirit of the Times" vouches for
the truth of the following laughable joke.
' "Come,Patrick,"esid a medical student
in one of-oar city institutions, to the hon
est porter therein employed, "as I'm going
to trea!, step in the corner and take a &iv
with us." •
"Sure, and are ye in arnest, Doctor,
dear?"-inquired Pat with a grin.
"Certainly, come along."
Pat didn't want coaxing, and he there
fore accepted the invitation and follo*ed
the Doctor. Arrived at the public house,
the Doctor poured out half a tumbler full
of the ruby liquid, and under pretence of
adding w little sugar he slily slipped , in the
contents of a box of cayenne pepper which
stood behind the bar. "Drink quick, Pat,
for I see Prof. B— coming across the
square," said the Doctor, stirring the fiery
mixture and handing it to Pat, who quaff=
ed it off without taking breath ; scarce had
he taken his lips from the tumbler, ere his
countenance began to undergo the moot lu
dicrous contortions. "father! for the
sake o' mercy, wather !" gasped he, his
mouth raw with the burning draught.
Just at this moment one of the Doctor's
friends happening accidentally to walk
near the two, and seeing the brae from
which, the liquor had been poured standing
on the counter, in front of Pat, he exclaim
ed with an anxious look, "Why, Doctor,
you didn'nt let the man drink from that
bottle ?"
"Yes I did," was the reply.
"Then you're a dead man !" said the
other, turning to Pat, "for I prepared that
bottle of poison to kill cock-roaches, for
the barkeeper here."
Pat turned ghastly pale ; he gasped for
breath. "0, murther ! I'm dead .1 Run
for a . doctor ! 0, I'll be dead afore you
come back I Holy mother of Moses, why
did 1 taste the dirty brandy ! 0, the pi
son burns the inside of me 1 For the love
o' heaven, fetch a doctor ! dyinl—
Lord have mercy on my soul !" and like
exclametions did Pat pour forth with as
tonishing rapidity.
"What'e to be done for the poor man 1"
said the doctor.
"I'll run and get him a dose of Tincture
Hokeepokee:' ■aid his friend, "it is the
thing that'll save his life ; and away be
went and shortly returned with the Tinc
ture liokeepokee, as he called it, Which
was nothing more or less than a roohOle
powder. Almost every one knows, or
ought to know, that a rochelle powder is
put up in two papers, one blue and one
white, and in taking it, the contents of the
blue paper are dissolved in about a gill of
pure water in one tumbler, and that of the
White paper, in another; the two are then
poured together, when a lively .ttiferves
caeca takes place, making a foaming and
sparkling drink.
Well, two tumblers were arranged, the
rOchelle powder diesolved in them, and'
Pat was told to drink first one then the
other joUtiediatelY *het it; he followed
those directions implicitly, and the result
was that the two doses met mid. way in
his throat; the effervesceno6 took plate,
and thy a moment or two he was a perfect
living fountain : he , Blandly foamed at•the

record of the weather from his youth up,
says the present winter boats all former

The cold has been more remarkable for

GENERAL TAYLOR , IN WASHINGTON
General Taylor, the President Elect,
with a large company of other invited
guests, was hospitably entertained at Din
ner on Thursday, at the Presidential Man
sion, by the,President of the United States.
This Interchange of courtesies between the
outgoing and incoming Chief Magistrates
must be regarded as highly honorable to
all concerned.
Mr. Speaker Winthrop entertained Gen.
Taylor very handsomely on Tuesday eve
ning last, in company with a large num
ber of the Members of both Houses of
Congress, and other distinguished persons.
The General remained till near 11 o'clock,
in frank and social converse with the nu
merous company.
Streams of visitors, of both sexes, con
tinue to throng the quarters of Gen. Tay
lor, to be presented to him, and take him
by the hand. -
The Corporate Authorities of the City
of Washington waited on President Polk
on Thursday, at 12 o'clock, by appoint-
Ment, to offer him their respects and good
wishes on his retirement from office.—
The getolemen of the Corporation were
received with great cordiality by the Pres
ident, who replied to a brief address from
the Mayor, in some remarks both feeling
and complimentary, which we hope to ob
tain a ;report of for a future paper.
After leaving President Polk, the Mem
•bere of the Corporation repaired to the
quarters of General Taylor, and were re
ceived and greeted by the President Elect
with his accustomed courtesy and warmth.

claims precedence of all others. In roast
ing, the fillet and fat below keep the other
part moist, and when roasted, such is
the quantity of gravy, that after a few
slices have been cut, it may be taken from
it with a spoon.
Procure a fine square piece of sirloin;
weighing about twenty pounds, (which
has been hung at least throe weeks in win
ter, and eight or ten days, if possible, in
summer, observing that the older the meat
is the longer it will require keeping before
the cooking, and this remark applies to all
kinds of meat. especially beef and mutton,)

it has not been well basted; another evil \
basting is, that by continually pouring hot - ,

attached to the joint to become heavy, and
the gravy which invariably falls from the',

and causes it to be very indigestible.
The above description is applied for the
kitchen of the' wealthy, but we must con
fess, we do not object to a small piece of
beef at Ma's and Pa's table at home; we
should proceed precisely as above, only
procuring a piece of not more than eight or . .
ten pounds in weight; put a little water in
the dripping-pan, place the beef upon a
spit papered as before, put it very near the
fire for a few minutes, rub over with but-
ter, then put it back at the distance of two
feet; let roast, if weighing from ten to
twelve pounds, an hour and a half to two
hours, depending much upon the fire; of ' '
which any person may judge with or with
out practice; take it up, dress upon your
dish, then have the contents of your drip
ding-pan in a basin, from which extract the
whole of the fat, and pour the gravy over
the chine-byres; it will be very good, and, !
save the trouble and expense of making
gravy.
Geary von Roasxs.—To make a gravy
for roasts, well butter the bottom of a con=
venient sized stew-pan, upon which lay
three onions in thick slices, over which,
lay, a few slices of lean bacon and three
pounds of lean beet; place it over a good
fire and add two cloves and six pepper
corns, with u few sprigs of parsley ; when
the onions begin to brown, stir the meat
round with a wooden spoon, keeping the
onions still at the bottom, stir occasionally
until the onions are well browned but not
burnt, then fill up with two quarts of Wa
ter and half an ounce of salt ; when boil
ing place it at the corner of the fire,.skim
and let it simmer an hour, skim again, pass
it through a cloth into a basin anti use
when required.
No. lII.OIitITERS.--The English
green oysters are the best that ars.known,
the American oysters are much 'larger in:
size; the latter end of August is about the
time an epicure would begin to eat them;
the small ones are the best for table, and
the large ones for culinary purposes ; to`
blanch them, open them with care, and
put them into a stew-pan with their own
liquor; let them set, but they must not
boil; beard them, strain their own liquor
over them in a basin, put them by for use.
