Deep within tho ourtnined vale of
preen verdure rao the limpid stream
known to us children us "Ox Creek."
Low under the hill? liken channcLwere
broad pastures, wherein grazed the stuck
belonging to "Sidney Place," acknow
ledged throughout the parish as being
the most beautiful and productive farm
in the whole region.
Tho main road ran through the
"FlatB," parallel with Ox Crock, only
once crossing it, and that in such a
manner a* to beautify the landscape.
Hew my mind wauders back to the dear
old bridge, deprived of the romance ol
a grist mill, as in tho case of Ben Holt ;
but tke enjoyment of fishing for4 bull- I
heads" compensated for the lack of ro
mance.
Ox Creek bridge could bo seen for
two miles on cither side, as it united
the Flats half way from Sidney Place
to the school-housed and Post office,
where we received our mail once a week,
and that on Wednesday. We knew the
exact hour that John Moore would pass
the bridge ast ride of the li tile donkey
he had ridden for eight years, with the
mail-hag oarclcssiy thrown across its fore
shoulders. Occasionally the mail-bag
presented a plethoric appenrince j then
we all imagined there wero letters for
the whole country ; hut when the bag
praKcnted a collapsed appearance our
enthusiasm melted considerably, and
our journey to the Post-office was not
accelerated by the hqpea of getting any
thing but .the weekly paper, which ans
puhlielted ait the shire town, fifteen miles
off.
Sidney Place was & happy hou) v, fur
K oeMtailied the wurm heart* ef our pa
rent."?heaven bices them?and four
?childicm. -John wna the oldest. Mary
nrert, and Harriet, three years older
than myself. Two boys and .two_gir.l.,
with a place of eijuty nine 'highlv tili
|/roved neves, well stocked with cowu
und sheep, and the finest span of horses
to be seen in a day's travel. Two men
??euded vw the .pluce, while Mary aud
Harriet assisted, muthcr in attending tu
tho household duties, nnd father attend
ed to reading the ucwspajiers and keep
ing the public iroad ia .repair, ku.v.ing
been J'aoh Mt.sIct fur yeure, and 'knew to u
cent 'the amount of taxes each resident of
the parish was compelled to work out
yearly. His .clora application to the
highways kept them in good repair,
which served to keep him in office. The
emolument were light, but the honor
great. Everybody called him the
??Squire," although he uevcr married
two hilly people iu his life, or decided a
case of arbitration. His judgment was
relied upon, and I am not positive but
his premature opinion was strictly ad
tiered to in ?uac* ot controversy, for the
actual "Squire" was a great admiiar of
father, aud frequently consulted him
upon knotty points.
>ly father was looked upon as a great
man. The opinion of "Squire" Sidney
had more weight iu public opiuiou thau
all the people in the connty. The bare
expression of hio mind moulded the
sentiment of the entire community; and j
why not? My father hud lived amougst
them for years, had accumulated a
competence by honesty, temperance und
humanity, treating with just consider
ation the want*) aud claims of all who
came , to consult him, and with a hand
ever open nnd a household welcome to
alleviate tho wants of suffering humanity,
his motto being, "It's more blessed to
give than to receive;" always incul
eating the principle of thrift and pro
dence, and looking ahead to that ioevi
table "rainy day," (hut a|l have heard
so much about.
How neat, comfortable and happy was
our home. What a large front roo n we
had. This, of course, as tho "spare
room," but \u was never spared when wo
hnd Oceanian to occupy it. Id funoy the
bright roses of the three-ply oarpot ap
pour before me, The chintz sofa, rose
wood centra teblo oovered with books
and daguerreotype of family and friends,
and the big oil lamp that usually occu
pied u prominent position on the bureau
Our dining room true covered with a
carpet ot rags, but so artistically wore
they wrought by the hands of (he village
* caver, haying been previously dyed by
the instruction^ of mother, that Jou
several Decisions our guests Would sug
gest the chauge oi the rag carpet to (ho
place occupied by the three ply, How
ever, mother ulwaya objected, saying
the throe ply would not last n month in
the dining room, whero so many peoplo
walked.
The loug pnrch that ran around three
sides of the house shaded the windows
hull' the day, and tho crcapiug vines on
the other side deGud the hottest rays of
summer's heat; and then at night, when
tho lowing cows have been placed iu the
pasture, aud the duties of day wcro
done, mother and nisters Bit ou the front
porch and sing an evening hymn, ac
com |i a tried by the guitar, played by
brother John ; lather, iu his stocking
teet elevated to the tailing of the porch,
with pipo in hand, directing the liar
mony, for father in his younger days
had played the violin wiJi considerable
?kill.
Old Towzer and I would be sitting
near tho edge of the porch in a mute
reverie, listening to the low gentle tones
of Mother's sweet sophrauo, the mezzo
of Harriet, and the contralto of Mary.
J<ihu occasionally assisted with a well
cultivated bass, wlrieh complete 1 the
quartette. Then we wjuM all ask
mother to sing a love song ; wheu,
placing her baud iu father's open palm,
she would sing about the loves of youth,
unbroken affect ions, t he ordeal of life,
and dcallj's separuti >u. Oh. how the |
urild, bright, saintly face of mother tip
pears belorc mess I write?appears be
fore me as iu days gone bye, before the
fronts of sixty winters h id left its time
mark upon her ruveu tresses, aud as the
linger tag t-oues ef tho song died away,
father Would press her to his ?osoin, and
imprint love's token up m ker choerlul
face. Is mit this pretty picture, al
though ho *ely drawn/' but fancy will
not allow me to overdo it.
Those were ha^py days, ? nd my heart
lightens wl^ea 1 lottert b.< them. Ofteu
in manhood when struggJiug with the
world, .will my mind go buck .to the dear
old homo on the Ox Creek, u-kJ count
the days dolore Thanksgiving, lor 1

to jveoeivo Metiers from Harriet, telling
4ue ail about the "place," nnd what daily
occurs, and how my heart warms wheu L
open a little piece of paper always
pccularily folded, enclosed iu Harriet's
letter, which in variably commences "My
dear child," u...i closed with ' Vour

home nud I old my loving mother's form
to 1113 breast, und cover her checks with
kisses. 1 nin no longer a man calloused
with the toils of life, but u little child

And when I tell her of ray ndven

around the family table, seated at the

1 feel ns highly honored as if I were

national dinner evoi can have the relish
to me that docs the dinners at homo ou

but their catalogue could not bo surpass

I shall visit homo again this Thanks

us, ?hall again kiss my dear pareuts,
shall talk ovor tho past and calculate
upon the future. I shall find Harriet
uud Mary with her little fhinily; ?hall

is over, we will sing our evening songs

BATCHING A TARTAR?CHIP IN 1'Ott

1*1 E ? p'jj AND y'ri?HUUKKY WIILK.ER.
IIY DU. lt. ft HILTON MA0ICF.N7.IK.
Speculations as ti the origin ?f phra
ses are very common. tirnj to
time I Have roe?'.\e^n.^nr^pq-rriives o.t
this subject. Ta d ly I slull attempt
to answer a few of them*
Sw common a phrase as 'Catching a
Tartar' has its -origin variously stated.
fir-t.se, the nutiq mi rinn, says that it came
ut of a htory of an Irish soldier, in th j
Imperial service, who iu'a battle against
the Turks, called out to his comrade
that he had caugut a Tartar.
'Dring him along, then,' was tho re
ply.
,lle won't conic,' answered Paddy.
?Then come along yourielf,' ?aid his
comrade.
To which the Hibernian respon
ded.
'Ah, but he won't let me.'
This is alluded to in a recent work by
Professor Kitzorald, entitled 'Cautions
lor the Times,' revised by Archbishop
Whately, of Dublin, the great logician,
in thi! sentence, 'We are like the man
who boasted of'having caught u Tartar,'
whon the fact was th it the Tartar caught
him.'
The term is al o applied by Charles
Diekens, in his'a'ory of 'H-irnahy
lludg--.' It may be remembered th.it
toward the oloso of that powerful ro
mance, one fine afternoon is munitioned;
on which Gabriel Yardcn, the jolly and
good- natured locks uith, is hiving tea
in the little back parlor, in compn?y
with his buxnm wile, hla pretty Hi tie
daughter, and Joe Willet, Itor one armed
betrothed, when, unexpected, uninvited,
and uuwelcouio, that antique miidcn,
\li.-s Miggs, presouts hcrsoll'to the com
puny, sure of being re engaged as Mis.
Vurdeu's handmaiden. As she gots tho
cold shoulder, Miggs boconio;? saucy,
pouring the vials of her wrath unou tho
whole company, colluc ivuly and indivi
dually. Her criticism up mi Gabriel
Yardcn is convoyed in n mpid succcs
siou of angry and suncy ncutences, such
as '1 have heard the neighbors mako re
mark as some 0110 thoy was acquainted
with was a poor, good natur'd, inoiii
spiritcd creetur, as went out fishiaj
for a wife one day, and caught n Tar
tar.'
'Liko a chip iu porridge,' meaning n
person or thing of small account or use,
is a phrase that often lurna up in fa mi
liar conversation. Unco, on entering the
witness b >x, in a court f justice a per
son summoned to give tostiuiony sa id to
the judgo;
'I don't know why I am here, for I
am like'a chip iu porridge.' 1 can say
nothing against tho plaintiff'
Tho late "Sir Charles Napier, a very
bravo soildier, and simply speaking sol
dior, said, in a general order to the Bon
g<il army :
?The rcviows. which the commander
in chief* maltet? of the ti'oons are not to
be tu ken as so uiuny 'ohips iu por
ridge!'
Many years ago, at a protested oleo
tion iu England, one of the candidates
observed:
'It has been puid that I have played
the game.of Mr;. Mcllish. I have how
ever, done nothing toward his success.
I have reudered liiin ueither servico nor
dis service.'
? " A person in the crowd exclaimed :
'.No. nor to anybody else. You're a
mere chip in porridgo !'
Tho idea being that he was uttorly
inefficient. A bit of chip put into any
food, whether porridge soup or sauce,,
communicates no flavor to it, and ib in
tho same category with a mio who is
utterly useless It is a familiar, natu
ral und i ute I legible comparison.
Putting the cart before the horse,' is
a well-known illustration. It can boast
of great antiquity, having first been
quoted by Lucian, the great Greek writ
er, ucnrly seventeen hundred pears ago.
Francis Kabcluis, the French satirist
and wit, whoso '(Jargantua' was publish
ed in the year 1533, has tho phrase.
'He placed the carriage before the steed.'
No derivation of it can bo given, but
ihe meaning is very abivious, aud refers
to those who bogio to do a thing at tho
wrong end.
, 'Eating humble pic'?tneauing that
the conceit shall be taken out of a per
son, that prido shall ha.'e a fall?-is an
cxprcssiou often used in onu'-ersation.
The proper way of spelling tho dish
would bo 'humble pie,' with the aspi
rate. It refers to a pie once inure com
mon iu England than it has b?en for
many generations. Two hundred years
ago, during the reign of Charles II., the
condition of the people of England was
so low tint, Lord Macaulay says, wages
were so low and meat -po dear that hun
dreds of thousands of families knew the
uisie*uf it:* A'motjg tho folk*, a ven
si n pastry was a favorite dish, but. the
poor gt'iitry had to put up with a pie
made of the "umblcs.' or entrails of the
deer, which were the perquisites of the
keeper In Huiloy's famous old diction
ary, the foundation of .Johnson's great
work, the word 'ttmble' issaiJtobe um
bilicus, the region of the intestines. If
a person who had afforded such a costly
di.-h as yensiou pastry were reduced to
t'ic me iner dish, it might be said thtt*i he
was 'eating uuible pie.'
There are various derivations of the
term,'Mind y mr P's and Q's.' It is
said to have arisen from the ancient
( custom of hanging a slate behind the
ale house door, on which was written
P or Q?that is, pint or quart?against
the name of each customer, a-cording
to the quantity which he had drank, and
which was nut expected to be paid for
until tho next at unity evening, when
the wages were settled. Perhaps tho
word tick, meaning credit, may also be
traced to this?a tick or mark boing put
lor .every glass of ale.
