THE TEA TABLE "Well, sir I can lake care of myself," said Julia Pellew (o her husband, as they were taking their tea together in their little parlour one delightful summer afternoon. Just at that moment and while the words were vet on her tongue, the door opened, and Miss Polly Gaw entered the room, on one of her lining afternoon v:its. Julia could not avoid colouring Hp a little at thi Hidden intrusion; for this young lady's visits were always intrusive, and Mi GaT evidently saw or suspected she had dropped in at a "moment when her company was not the most desirable. However, she got herself seated, arid entertained her good neighbo r with a history of the home concerns of every family in the neighborhood, abom three hours long. There was a minute-, and detailed account of Mrs. D's part-, with a list of all who were not invited, among whom she was most careful to remind that she, Julia, was one; then
the progress of the courtships in the country; the domestic squabbles; the scandal? of the week; the motions of the old widower who lives on the Appleby farm, betokening an approaching union with the Squire's daughter, and who were jealous thereat; and a hundred other topics, equally interesting and profitable, were all spread out on the carpet. Mr. Pcllcw had made his escape soon from the table, and Mis Polly did not fail to comment largely on the sav
age unsociability of husbands, insisting
that they were as restless, and unhappy
in the marriage noose as caged up ti
gers, and instancing how cay and
young and spruce they immediately
became on losing their wives; kindly and most sympathetically adding, "If you were to drop off, my dear Julia,
Mr. rdlcw would in ten days, be the most gallant and agreeable man in the village." After cr joying herself, and entertaining Julia thus dclichtfullv until it began to grow late, she gatiier-t-d up her knitting and sallied on to make a call or two more before she went home. Mr. and Mrs. Pcllcw were young, had been married but about a year, and were mutually as happy in their
union as love and virtue and similar tasles and dispositions could make
them. He was engaged in a business,
which, with industry and good manage mcnt, vieldcd him a living; he had em
harked in it, however, without capital
of his own; but Julia had a considerable amount of property, which, though the principal was not under her control, was a basis; upon which her husband
was enabled to gain the credit necessary in his business, and he had done so. This amiable family had numerous relatives and acquaintances were looked upon b- the good and sensible part of the neighborhood as patterns of virtue and were generally much beloved and admired. The visit of their Miss Polly was forgotten in a day or two; but things began before long to wear rather a strange aspect. Time after time, Mrs. Pellew observed that her visitors, who began
to be much more numer-vus than before,
put on long f ices, and in a condoling strain lectured on the trials of the mar
riage slate, the necessity of forbearance
and of the cxercic of Christian pa1'icncc, mingled with sundry hints ahout the sovereign rights of the sex and the best method of managing tinrulv husbands, with now and then a kind of half expressed sympathetic pity for her. She could not, for her life, understand what all this meant and attributing it to every cause hut the right one. Nor was Mr. Pcllcw to escape this low and to him unaccountable change
of the
and was referred io an old gentleman j who had told his informer; the old man i
gave him his wife; his wife her neigh
bor's wife; and so the tale might be
traced down, through about five and
twentv mouthr, growing rather less at
evcrv step, until it came to Miss Polly
Gaw she had affirmed that she over
heard Mr. Pellew and his wife enga
ged in a violent quarrel, and even
heard a distinct niliirmation on her
part that she would leave him. Mr. Pellew now hit upon an expedient to bring matters to a close at once. He invited all such of his wife's relatives, his neighbors, his creditors, Sec. as were within his reach, to meet at his bouse, on business of the utmost importance. About twentv assembled among them Miss Gaw, and half a dozen of the principal mouthpieces in the ilia go. He then stated to them his business; recounted th" stories he. had heard; traced them all down to their origin, and demanded of Miss Polly her reasons for the report she had raised. Cornered up so unexpected! v and
suddenly, she candidly confessed that (he onlv foundation for what she had
said was, that on the afternoon she had
paid the visit first mentioned, she had
herrd,as she. entered, Mrs. Pellew sav.
uWi II sir, I can take care of mvself.
And she wished to know if Julia Pellew
would deny this. Julia rrplied sh
would not she harbacued a pair of
tin fat quails for her husband's supper, and had been helping him to a choice
bit he had pressed her to keep it her
self, saying she was too kind; and she did, cn that occasion utter the offensive
words, Well, sir, I will take care of mv self"
A hurst of astonishment succeeded

worthv couple received the congratu
lations of all the honest fools present;

head, and pretended to be mighty glad .1. ill . . .

But thus it is, gentle reader, that
one half the tea-table stories originate;
and who would there were still as many
ready to believe them and trumpet
them about, as there were in Alesbury,
in Molly Gaw's time? Trenton Emp
Gratitude. If vou consider the
universe as one bodyj you shall find
society and conversation to supply the otlice of the blood and spirits; and it is gratitude that makes them circulate.
Look over the whole creation, and you
shall see that the bond or cement that
holds together all the parts of this great and glorious fabric is gratitude
or something like it. You mav ob
serve it in all the elements, for does not the the air feed the flame? And does not the flame at the same time
m and enlighten the air? Is not
the sea always sending forth as well as taking in? And does not the earth quit scores with all the elements in all
the noble fruits and productions that
iSMic from itt Ami in all the light and influence that the heavens bestow up
on this lower world though the lower
world cannot equal their benefaction,
yet with a kind of grateful return, it
reflects those rays that it cannot recom
pense; so that there is some return
however, though there can he no re
quital. He who has a soul wholly
void of gratitude, should do well to set
his soul to learn of his body; for all
the parts of that minister to one anoth

the stomach, and the stomach re
turns what it has received from them

, Romance ix Real Life. There has

undertaken by Napoleon against Russia. He was sent into Siberia, and
during twenty years of his captivity,
never found a single opportunity of ma
king any communication of his exist
once to his familv, who believed him
to be dead. Consequently, on present
ing himscli, his father and mother re
jetted him as an impostor, for in addi

and suffering, he had several scars on
his face, w hich was still farther disfigu

London Bakers. Much of the dis
ease of London is attributed to the
malpractices of bakers in the manufac
turing of their bread. An expose has
been made by one acquainted with
the secrets of the trade, in which it is
stated it is a common practice to mix
pulverized pumice stone with their flour; and the estimated consumption
of alum by them is 700,000lbs. per an
num; enough, in fact, to draw up the
whole metropolis.

To preserve Oats. It is verv well
known to every f irmer, that his oats
are frequently rendered unfit for feed,
I after thev have lain in the mow or
stack a few months, by rats and mice.
lior a few of these animals lake pos
session ol a stack or mow, horses imme
diately refuse to eat the oats; and con
sequently a considerable loss is sustain
ed.
A few years since, I became acqnain
led with means, simple, indeed, but
effectual, which completely prevent
the ravages of those animals on the
above mentioned grain. When the
farmer commences housing his oats,
he must provide some good wood ashes, and on every layer of sheaves, sprinkle
a few handfuls of them, just so as to
dust them over, say eight or ten hand
fuls io a mow twenty feet square. He
will find, on feeding out his grain in
winter and spring, that it will be per fectly free from the nauseous smell oc
casioned by the rats: and that it will
be entirely uninjured by them in any-
other way.
The ashes remaining in it when fed
will tend to preserve the health of his horses. Thus, those whose hams are
current of feeling among
neighbors toward them. The fust
symptom he saw was a coldness and dryness on the part of his wife's rela
tives; some of them even refused to
s-peak to him. The female part of
his acquaintance scolded at him, and
what was worse, he thought his custom li

it was now time io rouse up. as

which he picked up in the streets. It hd long been known that he had saved

he had placed in the Bank. The dogs
