A servant travelling, was bothered by a super-curious person, who, after several indirect attempts to discover whence he came, or whither he was going, at last popt the question plainly, “Are your family before?”—­“No.”—­“Oh! you left them behind, I suppose?”—­“No” “No?”—­“No, they are on one side!”

TO GROW A SHOULDER OR LEG OF MUTTON.

This art is well known to the London bakers.  Have a very small leg or shoulder; change it upon a customer for one a little larger, and that upon another for one better still, till by the dinner hour you have a heavy, excellent joint in lieu of your original small one.

[Footnote 1:  The grief of Ferdinand, King of Arragon, for the loss of his brother, Don Pedro, who was killed during the siege of Naples, is affectingly described by the historian Mariana.  It is also the subject of one of the old Spanish ballads, in Lockhart’s beautiful collection.]
