MISCELLAWTT
A Piece of Hopgi'rcl.
A friend, not unknown to military- fame,
eends ns the following as a reminiscence
of hard times away up lied River, about
last Christmas. We know our readers
won't get their bristles up about it, but will
read it with jr?-v>?'s of satisfaction:
Listen, kind friends, while I tell you in
rhyme,
Of the danger you passed through in hog
killing time,
For my blood and my nerves are so chuck
full of grease,
That until I warn others I'll see no more
peace.
And when you have heard others, you'll
know what to expect,
For in my sad story I'll show the effect
Of living as I have for three weeks or more,
On pig meat-and hog meat-and sow
meat-and boar.
A friend in the country invited me ont.
To spend a few days, while loafing about,
To use up a furlough; and, oh, what a
dunce,
I nevci- thought of the sequence, and ac?
cepted at once.
'Twas a kind-hearted fellow, and I know
he meant well,
And ne'er throught his kindness would
send me to hell;
But the teaiptation was such, and the eat?
ing so good,
That resist it I could not, nor would if I
could.
For though I'm no Gentile, nor am I a Jew,
I'm really afraid that it never will do,
or white men to live upon hog meat alono,
And cat as they do-fat-lean-gristle and
bone;
For to such, Bible reader, 'tis plain to be
seen
That Moses pronounced that "tho hog is
unclean,"
Unless 'twas intended as a washing to be,
When Christ bade the devil "mu those
hogs in thc sea."
Well, when dinner time came my friend
said a grace,
Then at eating wo went, as if running a
race,
And no one was conscious of doing a crime,
For the table showed plainly 'twas hog
killing time.
I first eat a pig's tail, it seemed very nice,
And it was pick'd clean and gone in ? trice,
And then Mr. Hog was turned round about,
And the next piece I eat was off of his
snout;
Then came tho kidney, and liver, and melt,
Until I am sure I quite satisfied felt.
When still to add more to these wondrous
sights,
Thev gave mc - dish, would you believe it,
?f lights?
The spare ri .ame next, indeed they were
good,
And really seemed as intended for food,
And the saussagc was splendid and flavor?
ed with sage
I am sure they had none in old Moses' ago,
Else that wise Patriarch ne'er would have
said
That the Jews on such hog meat should
never be fed.
Thc back-hone came next, and it, too, was
fine,
And I honestly state that. I'm fond of tho
chine,
And Chinaman never loved fat rat or
mouse.
As well as I love a well pickled souse;
And the feet and the ears were thus pickled
and fried,
And I'd have eaten 'cm with Moses at my
side.
I am sure you will think I have risks enough
taken,
Without waiting for summer to eat up the
bacon,
Bt Providence intended that side meats
and beans,
Should bo baked, while 'tis proper to boil
it with greens;
And from frit ters and pan-cakes we'd ever
be barred,
Were it not that kind Providence gave us
bog's lard;
And the Patriarch's surely would not have
me to damn,
To stop mo from eating good sugar-cared
ham.
And thus I've eat hog meat, boiled, stewed
and roasted,
A la mode, fricaseed, barbecued, toasted,
Until Pm afraid, if the Bible is true,
And reads for outsiders as well as the Jew,
That the good saints in Heaven will ne'er
fo my bail,
've eat up a hog from his snout to hia
tail,
And now for some punishment I must pre?
pare,
For all that I've left of the hog is his hair,
But whether 'twill bu in this world or th?
next,
Moses neglected to state in his text;
And tho infliction ns yet gives moro plea?
sure than pain,
Though 'tis plain to bc SQen that I've hop,
oil the brain. M. J. T.

As a punishment, they usually hui

Though the destruction of the American

the old adage, that "Ifs au ill" wind that
blows nobody good," and, consequently,
congratulate" you that your well known

rior lire-proof qualities in an ordeal of un?
usual severity.
Thc safe you made for mc some time
ago was in the offieo of the Museum, on
the second floor, back part of the building,
and in thc hottest of thc lire.
After twenty-four hours of trial, it was
found among "the debris, and on opening
it this day hi.s yielded up its contents in
very good order -books, papers, policies of
insurance, bank bills, all in condition for
immediate use, and a noble commentary
on the trustworthiness of Herring's Fire
