FORMS OF SALUTATION, Of tho many forms of salutation, the custom of shaking hands is the •most common among civilized nations, It undoubtedly comes from remote bar- barism, when two men mooting gave each other their woaponed hand in se- curity against attack or treachery. On the European continent it is usual wheli Inen meet who aro intimate friends to kiss one another, but this custom only prevails among imbed ie this country and Great Britain.

There lived in the parish ofAuldearn, in the good old time, when the good old eustom flourished, a rather tear - going eerie, whose sympathy with the 'customs of the day was of a kind not altogether unknown at the present day namely, he 'liked to tak' but not to gie.' Saunders was about to kill a well-fed pig, whin, ateordiug to his calculation, would settiefy his own porky desires for a long time to eome, but if he con- formed to the custom of sending this neighbor a nice hit, and that neighbor a better bite his well-fed pig would soon des app ear. Saunders, therefore, thought he would take advice on the matter, and accordingly 'consulted a clever, or, rather wide-awake neighllur, who advised Saunders to kill the pig forthwith, and let every body know that he was goiug to do so, ,and added his counsellor, 'Ye can hing it in the cot -house a nicht, an' in the morning say somebody ran awa' wilt turougb the nicht.' This sage advise was ac- cordingly adopted. On the following morning Saunders was up betimes and proceeding to the oot-house to remove the ptg, when lo ! to the utter horror and berwilclerment of Saunders, his grumpyship was nowhere to be seen. Aa his counsellor duly appeared, Saunders. with a long and rueful uuuutettance, thus broke forth—'It't away 'Ay, Saunders,' replied the coun- sellor, 'just say ye tout.' 'But, replied Saunders, 'It is neatly awa,' an I diuna ken wlaur it's gaue tae.' The very thing, Saunders,' said the adviser, 'the very thing, stick to that, ea' folks will be bare to believe you., rectly over our heads of workmen en- gaged in the fields.

Might Hon. the Lord Mayor of London, Alderman Truseott,mentioned at a public meeting on behalf of the Printers' Asylum recently that his fa - thee had made his fortune, and hoped his owe children would make tl.teirs in the printing trade. His father, some seventy years ago, in a town in the Weat of England, then a lad of nine years of age, through family misfortune was oompeled to take a situation in- volving the sweeping out of a printing office. For three years be oontiulhed in this position, and was then bound apprentice. At nineteen years of age he married, and soon after came to London, having to borrow money to pay his passage. He was at once em- ployed by a good firm, from whom be changed to the office of King's, where he became foreman. After continuing there for a time, he resolved to go into business on his own account, and he tivrd to compete successfully with his old masters with the Government work, and he left his son in a position which resulted in his becomiug Lord Mayor of London. He died 21 years ago,and his last utterances were, 'Plane over may grave the simple words, 'To. the memory of Jarred Truscott,Printer.' ' from beef in two ways. , y cut• ting the meat in small pieces, putting them in a tightly corked bottle, mersing it iu hot water and bniliug for several hours. Second, by taking a thick piece of juicy steak, broiling it on a gridiron, over a clear fire for a few momeuts then cutting it in strips and pressing it in a lemon squeezer. The juice thus obtained may be given asither cold or hot. It may be frozen, broken into lumps rend given like cracked ice. A little salt should be added before using it. An invalid who is thr.:d of hot beef tea will sometimes drink it cold, or iced, with great relish. Raw meat is very nutritious, and may be prepared by stierclding the beef extremely fine, removing every parti- cle of skin or fat, and mixing it with cracker crumbs.

Mr. White, of New Hamp• shire has founded a religious sect Bal- led Angelic Believers. They believe in the dispo-ition of angels to visit earth's people, if they were only prop. erly encouraged. His objectis to re- store the old soeiabili.y between human and angelic beings. In a sermon lately White said that it would not surprise him to have angels call upon him at any time, and he held himself in readi- ness to give them a weloome. Three boys resolved that White's faith should be rewarded. One of them borrowed three of his sister's night gowns, and got three pairs of chicken's wiugs,which were fastened to the shoulders of the white garments. With some other fixings by way of disguise, the boys went at night to the cottage of White. They knocked, and said they were angels. He examined their winge and raiment, and was sati fied. They were hungry. and aelted for kid. White had no kid. A. fatted calf would do. White had no calf, and offered them pork, at which they turned up their noses. Some cold chicken was set be- fore them, and bard cider, and they were enjoying the repast when Mrs. White came in. She wee suspicious, and examined the flowing gartuents,on which she saw the name 'Blodgett' marked. 'Ole mai,' she cried, 'I've wished all three of them nightgowns afore.' The Whites locked the door, Itook off the angelic robes, used up two broomsticks on the boys, and turned them out to go home like common mortals. SPIITNG AND 271111E1, [MER, 1000.
