DOSING A. TRAVELER.
It was in one of the ; extensive hostelriea
-which, are to be "tied up to" in most of the
large towns is the interior of New York, that
the following scene actually occurred, as can
be proved by a cloud of witnesses who have
heard the landlord tell the story. '
""The hotel referred to, was, on the occasion
of which we are speaking, rather full, and the
. nephew of the landlord lay sick in one of the
rooms on the third floor. - He was to receive
medicine during the night from the hands of a
person who bad been procured to watch with
him. The landlord had entrusted the afore
said watcher to administer a portion of some
little physic to the patient at 12 o'clock ; the
dose to be repeated at certain hours of the
night.
."lie is rather techy," said the landlord, "and
you had better keep out of bis room until you
go up to rive him the medicine.
Ob, lor that matter," replied the watcher,
who was a novice in the vocation, "I prefer to
sit here ;" and he eyed a sofa which was in
the apartment, in a suspicious manner.
. "Well, said the landlord, you won't forget
the number of his room.".
"NoAlr." - r.
""And tell him he must take bis medicine
without making such a confounded fuss as he
made with the last dose. Tell him that I said
he must take it it's good for him."
,"Yes, sir." "
,"Good night." ,. -. ' ' "
"Good nizht."
Boniface retired and the watcher deposited
himself on the sofa from which he was roused
by his own snoring at a quarter before one.
In dismay and confusion he seized the potion
and hurried up stairs. '
.The sick man was lodged in Xo. 52, but the
nurse in his haste mistook No. 53 for it, and
entering the latter he saw a person lying in the
bed, face upward, with his mouth wide open
respiring with that peculiar gurgle in the
throat which indicates strong lungs ana a pie
thoric habit. .
. "Ah .'" mentally exclaimed the astute
watcher, "he makes a fuss about bis medicine.
does he 1 I'm blowed though if he don't
take one dose quietly before ho wakens up
In fact." - . t
The idea of giving a portion of bitter physic
to a somnolent patient was sufficiently ridicu
lous ; but when we consider that the watcher
had entered tho wrong room and was about to
administer it to the wrong man, the affair be
comes still more ludicrous.
Our friend, the watcher, acted promptly,
and having filled the bowl of a largo spoon
with the nauseating mixture, he forced it
down the throat of the healthy Hiberian that
had neVer tasted physic before in his life. The
Irishman struggled and bit the spoon severely,
but the watcher plunged it still deeper in his
throat, saying as he did so :
"Ob, but you must taxc it tne lanaioru
says you must."
The nasty dose went down, but when Patrick
recovered his breath and began to pour forth
his objurations in his own peculiar rhetoric,
the watcher discovered that he had committed
an eggregious blunder, and seiziDg his light,
fled from the room.
The astonished and 'enraged traveler sprang
from his bed, and was soon heard rushing a
bont in search of the landlord, swearing ven
geance against him and all connected with his
house. On he came tearing through the pas
sages, banging the - doors, and roaring like a
crizzly bull
"Oo-oo-oh ! it's kilt I am, bedad, any how
Ah-r.h ! I'm choaked with pisen. Divil a
bit of a farum in the wisthern counthry will I
bny now for I'm a dead man. The pisen is
ating me up just ! Och ! it's enough to make
a dog throw his father in the fire, llooly
Saint Patrick ? Landlord ! landlord ! land lo-o-o-o-o-r-r-r-r-d
I"
Pat had by this time descended to the floor
on which the landlord's apartment was situa
ted, and tho worthy host, hearing the hillabnl
loo, opened the door and asked what was tho
matter. . " - ,
"Ah! is it there yc aref Come out for a
bating or let me come till ye ! A d d poor
ty house yer kaping, to send ycr man into an
honest thraveler's room, to pizen the innocent
divil in his slape. Ugh ! the bitter nasty pi
zen ! come out here, and I'll lather ye like
blazes." v
"What's the matter, my good friend V in
quired Boniface.
"Ow !the matter, is it ! when I was waked
from my swate slape and a big dirty biaggard
stood fornint me ram rain a big ladle down me
trote full of pizen and scz he, you must take
it, the landlord sez so; and now what's the
matter, sez you. And that's one ov yer tricks
on travelers f
"Come out here and I'll bate ye! Be the
blood of the hooly marthers, I'll break lvery
bone in yer ugly body ! I'll tache ye to pizen
a dacent traveler, that's going to buy laud in
the wisthern country.
The Irishman here became entangled in the
meshes of a wooden settee which stood in his
way, and at the same time the landlord's wife
seized her wratby lord although a host in
himself she was not willing to risk him in a
rough and tumble fight in the dark and-hav-ing
plucked him back into her sleeping apart
ment, she locked the foor andyboited t secure
ly. The prospective purchaser of "wtsflieVn
lands" having extcaeted his-, legs, and arras
from those ot the settee; stilP thirsted for the
landlord's blood. ; " '
"Bring me till the njurUieria-' auld vUyan,
let me come to bira !"' i ' ' -'- ?;
At this juncture, however, Mick, the ostler,
made his appearance with a, lantern, which he
held up to the-physic smeared .face of the en
raged traveler with the polite request that ho
. would hold a isf tongue. ; PqC Micfc.vras atfos
compelled to pi re his countryman a good beat-'
ing, which had the.efiect to restore him to
good humor ; and jvlrtm Be'if4ui3 he was not
"pisened" after aNlie retired Notice more to
bis bed to dream of his "farum" which he
was going to bay ia the "wisthern country."
"I hab always in my life," says Cesar Ilan
nibal, "found tho gals to be fust in lub, fust
in quarrel, fust in the dance, fust in de ice
cream saloon, and de fust, best and de last in
de sick room ! What would we poor fellows
do without dem ? Let us be born as young,
as ugly, and as helpless, as we please, and wo
men's arms are ready to receive us; she it am
who putscloso 'pon our helpless naked limbs,
and cubbers on our footses and toses in long
flannel petticoats, and it am she who, as we
grow up, fills our dinner baskets wid dough
nuts and apples as we start to shcool, and licks
ns when we tear our trousers." '-
Roger Sherman's retort npon Randolph is
croe of tho few witticisms thit will not die.

irom Connecticut; his business in early life
had been that of makiug shoes. John Ran

Fat Touko Ladies asd Yixecab. -Taken I
n moderation, there is no doubt that vinegar
is beneficial; but in excess it impairs the di
gestive organs. Experiments on artificial di
gestion show, that, if the quantity of acid be
diminished, digestion is retarded ; if increas
ed beyond a certain point, the same result is
produced. There is reason, therefore, in the
vulgar notion, unhappily too fondly relied on,
that vinegar helps to keep down any alarming
adiposity, and that ladies who dread the dis
appearance of their graceful outline in curves
ot plumpness expanding into "fat," may arrest
so areadtul a result by liberal potations of vin
egar ; but they can only so arrest it at the far
more dreadf ul expense of their health.- The
amount of acid which will keep them thin
will destroy their digestive powers. Portal
gives a case which should be a warning :
"A lew years ago, a young lady in easy cir
cumstances, enjoyed good health ;' she was
very plump, had a good appetite, and a com
plexion blooming with roses and lilies. She
began to look upon her plumpness with suspi
cion ; for her mother was very fat, and she
was afraid of becoming like her. . According
ly, she consulted a woman, who advised her
lo drink a glass of vinegar daily : the young
lady followed the advice, and her plumpness
diminished. ' She was delighted with the sue
cess of the experiment, and continued it for
more than a month. She began to have a
cough ; but it was dry at its commencement,
and was considered as a slight cold which would
go off. Meantime, from dry it became moist,
a slow fever came on, and a difficulty of breath
ing, her body became lean and wasted away,
night sweats, swelling of the .. feet and of the
legs succeeded, and a diarrboe terminated, ner-
life." Therefore, young ladies, bo boldly
fat ! Never pine for gracefnl sumness and
romantic pallor; but if Nature means to be
ruddy and rotund, accept it with a' laughing
grace, which will captivate more hearts than
all the paleness of a circulating library. La

The Kisd of Fruit Indigestible. This ap
plies to all fruit, without exception, and in
eludes all the pellicle of skin or kernels and
nuts of all kinds. The edible part of fruit is
particularly delicate, and liable to rapid de
composition if exposed to tne atmosphere ; it
is, therefore, a provision of nature to place a
strong and impervious coating over it, as a
protection against accident, and to prevent in
sect enemies from destroying the seed within.
The skin of the plum tribe is wonderfully
strong, compared with its substance, and re
sists the action of many solvents in a remarka
ble manner. If not thoroughly masticated
before taken into the stomach, the rind of
plums is rarely, if ever, dissolved by the
gastric juice. : In some cases, pieces of it ad
here to the coats of the stomach, causing sick
ness and other inconvenience. Dried raisins
and currants are particulary included in these
remarks, showing the best reasons for placing
the fruit upon the chopping board with the
suet in making a puddiug for them; for if a
dried currant passes into the stomach wholo it
never digests at all. When horses eat oats
or beans that have-not been through a crushing
mill, much ot this food is swallowed whole
and in this state, being perfectly indigestible,
the husk or pellicle resisting the power of the
stomach, there is so much loss to nutrition.
Birds being destitute of teeth, arc provided
with tho apparatus for grinding their seeds,
namely, the gizzard, through which the seed
passes, and is crushed prior to digestion. The
peelings of apples and pears should be cast
away. Oranges we need not mention, as this
is always done. Orleans, greengages, damsons,
and all plums, should be carcfuMy skinned if
eaten raw, and if put into tarts, they should
be crushed before cooking. Nuts are as in
digestible as we could desire, if the brown
skin be not removed or blanched, as almonds
are generally treated.
: A Question for Lawters. If John Smith
should while crossing Brown's vacant lot ;
happen to fall and tear his pantaloons, who is
responsible for the ground rent thus created
he or Brown ? and could Brown compel Smith
to settle the rent with a potato patch ?
