turkey as child's food, "he'd have beef or
nothing." She'd have turkey ; and thus
commenced the war of Strahan's. One
ordered the butcher not to have fowl ; the
other gave strict injunctions not to have
beef brought into the house; between
them they were both likely to starve if
they remained at home ; so the doctor
went to the village tavern and dined on
beef, while Mrs. S. visited some of her
friends and partook of turkey.
After dinner J)r. S. gave u wine supper
in the room which he dignified by the
name of study, a sort of variety store, in
which he kept his library, a wrilimr desk
and spittoon. Here were :ilr two rl:i'
J cases, one of which contained a giant's
j skeleton, hung on wires, and in the other
! was an Egyptian Mummy. The walls were
hung with curio-ities of all descriptions;
among them u cane from a tree whieh
grew ever the grave of Washington, a
snu!i' box from wood of the Charter Oak,
a chip from the L'uiieu Stau-s frigate Con
stitution, minerals, shells, fo.-siis of all
kinds, ?neciinen car, of corn, enormous
sized fruits and vegetables, eases of dried
insects, and jarsof picklod reptiles. Stalled
birds were perched about the apartment.
) and voluptuous French lithographs and
j portraits of distinguished personages were
hung piOTi:iscuou!y on the wails; a hug
reading table, arm-chairs, a prescription
and
the
51-
brain work and wooden curiosities were
made to cook her dinner.
The doctor looked silently on as lonf-as
he could; then taking the" key from his
pocket, he unlocked the door, and it was
bolted upon the inside.

''Well, sir.

"Open the door, or I'll burst it in."

Alter a season of long continued gaycty
there necessarily follows one of extreme

han were both ot tnom remarkably dull,
and us a matter of course both preferred
being pleased to attempting to please ;
and of course both being greatly displeas
ed. It was their third day at home, upon
which their first quarrel commenced.
How it began neither could clearly tell.
It is only known 'that Strahan expressed
a desire to diueon roast beef, upon which
Mrs. S. said that she abominated beef
sr.d itated her prefertnee to roast turkey
'round.
"I'ut the ladder up here again," roared
the doctor from the upper window'.
'Let it stay where it i," cried the wife
from the lower window.
"Put it up here instantly, or I'll dis
charge you," bellowed the upper window.
'Let it alone and I'll double your wa
ges," chimed in lower window.
"Do as J tell you, blockhead," yelled
the doctor with rage.
"Come in the house, John," said 3Irs.
S., very coolly.
And John went into the house, leavin"
the medical gentleman heaping curses
upon everybody, including his wile and
servant Joins.
All nightlong the doctor was kept a
prisoner. Just before she retired, his
wife put her lips to the keyhole and whis
pered :
"What success ia taming a shrew, doc
tor ?"
The next morning she came to the door
and called.
"Doctor!"
"Madam," replied that gentleman.
"Should you like some breakfast ':"
"I'm not particular."
"There is cold turkey left if you would
like it." I
The doctor deigned no replv, aud the
lady again left him alone.

About the middle of the afternoon, the
