r..Kn.?.ii lota's a few davs since. A dashing
" yeun-merchant, who had long been a resident' of L
the hotel, and who is noted Jor his whole.scmiea
. hoapitality, had beta teased fur some weeks , by a
. number. of .female acquaintances to give an oysU-r
"supper to his friends of both sexes. He did not
.relish the idea much, particularly as he .believed
, it was with the oysters and not him that the la
dies were so overly anxious to spend the evening.
He at last, however, consented to give the fete,
resolving in his own mind to test the 'friendship
of his guests.,,, . ... ...... - t ; .-, :(
He U one of those dashing fellows .w ho never
do things by halves, and as soon as his decision
was known, there was no little anxiety among
.his femala acquaintances to receive a billet doux,
or in more common parlance, an invite to the
Sandango." " Dick," "for that is the familiar
name by which he is known, invited about forty
'couplea.-and made every arrangement to " da tiro
'thing tip brown." Th largest parfors, and most
xtensive hall in the house were engaged exprcss--ly
for the occasion." Those w1k were invited con-aide-red
themselves particularly fortunate, and
Dick's oysttir supper, was for many days the main
.topic of conversation in certain circles of Ion Jon.

The ladies were in an exceeding happy humor,

- with the prospect of the enjoyment of a good
Bupper directly before them, and surrounded with
: the choice of dashing Dick'i lady friends, could
-not possibly prevent being elated, into tho most
joyful mood. Not an invited guest was absent,
- so anxious were the ladies to partake of Dick's
' .oysters, and tho gents to accommodate the la-
flies.
The parlors were brilliantly illuminated, and
at a given signal delicious music from a choice
band charmed the cars of his gucsta, aud sent
them wizzing and skipping through the graceful
polka and the rapturous mazurka. Dick's mag
nificent bospliality was loudly praised, so charm

How tbeir delicate, hearts throbbed as they be
held the. table fdled with' covered dishesr'all no

danced with .joy as they, beheld the mammoth

" One !" cried the steward, and every servant
stood erect. " Two J." and each extended a hand
across the table.. ." Three !" and forty hands
lrom as many waiters, touched the cover of a dish
on the table. The anxiety of the ladies to look
upon the dainty eastern luxuries which had been
prepared . for their dainty appetites, was now in

useless table ceremonies of fashion might Le dis

themselves at home. "With the hope that oyster's
would appear in the second course, some who had

Dick ate heartily, and having sati.sficd his appe

again to the parlors to rcsuiac the merry dauoc.
But the ser-icespf musicians .were no longer
needed. Some of the ladies were suddenly seized
with a dreadful headache, others announced that
they were suffering bad colds, and others again
were very much fatigued. . In fact, finding that
no oysters were to be jhad, the ladies soon excu
sed themselves and left for home. . It is said that
some were in such a hurry that tliry would not

friends, indulged in the oysters which had been
prepared, but were kept back for a second sup

the first supper -satisfied him of their strong at

. Crxiocs Historical Fact- During tho trou
bles in tho reign of Charles 1 , a country girl came
to London in search of a place as a servant maid,
but not succeeding, she hired herself to carry
out beer from a warehouse, and was one of those
called tub-women. '; The brewer observing a good
looking girl in tins low occupation, took her into
his family as a servant, and after a short time
married her. - He died while she was yet a young
woman, and left her the bulk of Uiis fortune
The business of brewing dropped, ; and MrUide
was recommended to the young; woman as a
skillful lawyer, to arrange her husband's affairs.
1 Hido, who was afterwards Earl of Clarendon, fin-
dine the w idow's fortune considerable, marriea
her. Br this marriage, there "was no other issue
than a daughter, who was afterwards the wife of
Jpb the II. and mother of jMaryi and Anne,
Queens of England. vs'ios'vv! r

proposed to do some " trailing" of' rather a novel

When the caiididato was referred to about bis'

that, an J so forth and so on. J ".' "
Things progressed 'gloriously ; Mac 'reported
his successes daily, only once remarking, slyly,
that he was afraid it would strain Lola, sadly, to
comply with all his engagements; and at" last,
the day get apart for the election arrived. ;

sown at the rate of two or ' three bushels' to tho
acre-, and in July, when nearly fit for harvest, tha
straw being partly yellow and partly green, they
were plowed under, an ox chain having been rig
ged in Croulof the coulter, - so as to tur.i thcci
dowaJefoie the plow. 1'ixvjous to this plowing,
one and a quara.r bushels more of ground plasier
of pans was sprinkled on U:e ground. A second
crop of oats sprung up in a thiuk mat from thoso
plowed undor, and about the first of October thes
were turned down by the plow like .the first
growth. . Vheat was now sown, about one and
half bushels to the acre and harrowed in, fol
lowed by clover in the spring. The crop of wheat
averaged about eight bushel to the acre, aud this
it will be obcerved, without a shovel ftll of stabh
or other kind of animal manure. The clover had
a busliel of ground plaster spriukJed upon it in tLo
spring, aud yielded, the second season of its
growth, about a ton per acre the first mowing.
This laud, from which the vegetable mould lial
