In a littlo timo, after some controversy about places, which was arrested by the mother's eye,^^ey were all seated; John happened .in, in the meantime, taking his father's seat. "Is s-Bp!" said William, "sassidges, that's vPfcat I love." "Hoo," said Isaac,, "spare-ribs! that's what I love." "Well, cease yonr gab, and eat what's set before yon, without commeuts. Nobody cares what you love, or what you don't love." "Souse!" said Abraham, "I don't love sousy. I would'nt eat souse; "taint fittcn for a dog to eat." "Get up, sir; and march out of the house until you learn better manners. I'll be bound if 1 say you shall eat souse, you'll eat it. Do you hear me, sir?" Abraham raked himself lazily out of his seat, and moved slowly off, casting a longing look at the many good things on the table, which he evidently thought "fitten for a prince to eat." "Ma," said he as ho retired, '-I wish you'd make Bill quit laughing at me. "William, I'vo as great a mind as I ever had to do anything in my life, to send yon from the table, and not let yon eat a mouthful. I despise that abominable disposition yon have of rejoicing at your brother's misfortunes. Remember, sir, what Solomon says ; 'lie that is glad at calamities, shall not gohnpunished.w^ V ?said- .-Ahfohaa^'r^mayn't I come -to my breakfast ?', " ' "Yes, if you think you can now behave yourself with decency.' Abraham returned, and they all broke forth at once : 'Ma, mayn't I have some sassidge ?' 'Ma, I want some spare rib.' '31a, if you please ma'in, let me have som' ham-gravy, and some fried hom'ny and some egg, and?' *And some of everything on the ta ble,I suppose. Put down your.plate? every oue of you?George, what will you have V' 'Some sassidgo and some fried potater.' 'John, help your brother George. What do you want, William ? 'I want some spare rib aud hom'ny.' 'Nancy, help William. What do you want Abraham ? I reckon,' said John, smiliDg, he'll take a little souse.' 'Now, John, behave yourself, lie lias suffered the punishment of his fault, and there let it rest.' 'I'll have,' said Abraham 'some hamjravy, and some egg, and some hom'ny., 'Ilelp him Chaney. What'll you have, Isaac ?" 'I'll have Borne ham-gravy, and some hom'ny, and some sassidgo, and some spare rib, and some?' 'Well, you are uui oUUJo 4U Utt*? averything on the table, I assure you. What do you want?' 'I waut some ham gravy and some iiom'ny. 'John, help I?' No! I don't want no gravy; I want lome spare rib.' 1 'John, give him?' 'No! I don't want no spare rib; I cvant some sassidge.' 'Well, if you don't make up your nind pretty quick, you'll want your breakfast, I tell you. I'm not going ;o be tantalized all day long by your wants. Say what you want, and have 1 Jone with it.' 'I want some ham-gravy, and some sassidge, and some hom'ny.' 'Help hitn, John.' John helped him to about a teaspoonful from each dish. 1 'Now, ma, jist look at Bud John 1 He hain't gi' me jist theso three lit cuts o' bits." 'John, if you can't keep from tan* 1 talizing tbe children, tell mo so, and ['11 not trouble tbem to help you any more. I confess that I am at a loss to discover what pleasure ooe of your ige can take in teasing your younger brothers. Rebecca, what do you want?' 'I want my pig-tail, ma'am.' 'Bless my soul and body! haven't you forgot that pig-tail yet? It's burnt up long ago, I hope. Look, Bob, and 3ce; and if it isn't, give it to her. I wish in my heart tlicro never was a pig tail on the face of the earth.' Bob produced tbe half charred pigtail, and laid it on Miss Rebecca's plate. 'There, continued her mother, 'I hopo now your bcarts at ease. A beautiful dish it is, truly, for any mor^ tal to take fancy to. 'Ma, I dont want this pigtail. 'Tuke it away. I knew you didn't want it, you little preserve brat. I knew you didn't want it; and I dont kdow wnai got into mc iu ic?, juu have it. I3ut, really, I am 60 tormented out of my life, that I hardly know whether I am standiog on my head or my heels.' 'Missis,* said Chancy, 'Allot Dorcas says pleaso make Miss Louisa come out de kitchen. Say if you don't make her come out de fire, herll git burnt up d'rekly. Say every time she tell her to como out de fire, she make a mouf at her. 'Why, sure enough*! where is Louisa ? Go tell her to come to breakfast this instant. 'I did tell her, ma'am, and sho say she won't come till she gits done bakin' her cako.' Mrs. Butler left the room, and soon vnfr.T.ned with Louisa sobbing and oryUs?=w? k 'Aunt Dorcas jerked ni? hard as ever she could jerk; 'for<TI did anything at all to jier.' - v. c -. v > 'Hold your tongue. Yotfro a pretty i thing to be making mouths at a person i old enough to be your grand-mother, i Jf I'd thought when I gave you that ' lump of dough, that the'wbol?plantation was to be turned upside down about it, I'd have let you done without .it.' ; i Miss Louisa, after a little sobbing j and pouting, drew from her apron a 1 small, dirty, ashy, black, wrinkled* 1 biscuit' warm from the kitchen shovel, which would have been just precisely i the accompaniment to Miss Rebecca,s < dish; .and upon this, in preference to 1 everything on the table, she commenced her repast. i - 'JPfcU, Lou,' said the mother with a i laugh ^ls eho cast her eye upon the i tnnn nurUiniv hftVA I UUSlgUlljr VUV/Uil^ - jvu vwawwaMjr -* . ? 8 strange tasta. { ; j. i Everybody knows that the mothers i langh is always rospondod to. with i compound interest by all her ohildren. 1 So was it in this instance, and good humor prevailed around the table. i I'm sorry,' said Abraham, 'for Louisa's b-i-s, bis, k-i-t, kit, biskit. < Well, really 1' said hirs.

' e Mother?'What ?' V y Isaac?'Cause its got Sas in it.' s; Mother?'Well,* there, there there! I I've got enough of derivations, unless c they are better. You'll learn all these g things as you grow older.' p Just here, Miss Sarah, who had been y breakfasting at a side table, was seized with a curiosity to see what was on the c breakfast table. Accordingly, she un- si dertock to draw herself up to the oon- h venicnt elevation, by the table-cloth, c Her mother arrested her just iu time to tl save a cup, and pushed her asido with a gentle admonition. This did not e abate Miss Sarah's cariosity in the least e and she recommenced her experiment. Her mother removed her a little more e emphatically this time. Theso little bi interruptions only fired Miss Sarah'a zeal, and she was returning with a rev n doubled energy, when she ran her check against the palm of her mother's 1 hand, with a rubiffccnt force. Away she went to her grandmother, crying, 'Gram'ma, ma whipped your prettous, k darlin' angel babe.' u 'Did she, my darling ? Then Grand- li ma's precious, darling angel must be a ii good child, aod mother won't whip it r any more.' n Well, X will be a dood child.' .'Well, then, mother won't whip it p anymore.' And this .conference was kept up without the variation of a let" t ter on either side, until the grand" a mother deemed it expedient to remove p Miss Sarah to an adjoining room, lest t the mother should insist upon the fuN v fihnent of her promises. t 'Ma, just look at Abe, cried out 1 William; 'he saw me going to take a c buiscuit, and he snatched up the verj a one I was going to take.' ' * *tt 'Abe/ said the mother, 'l ao wish x could mako you quit uick-naining each other; and 1 wish more that I had never . sot the example. Put down that bis- ? cuit, sir, and take another/ i. Abraham returned the biscuit, and William took it up with a sly but tri- umphant giggle at Abraham. j ,Ma, said Abraham, 'Pill said God durn /' 'Law, what a story!
