Deep within tho curtained vale of
green verdure roo the limpid stream
known to US children as "Ox Creek."
Low under the hillslikoa channel wem
broad pastures, wherein grazed the stock
belonging to "Sidney Place," uoknow
ledged throughout the parish as being
the most beautiful and productive farm
iu the whole region.
Tho main road ran through the
"FlatB," parallel with Ox Treck, only
once crossing it, and that in such a
manner as to beautify the landscape.
How my mind wanders back to the dear
old bridge, deprived of the romance of
a grist mill, as in the case of Ben Holt;
but the enjoyment of fishing for'bull
heads'* compensated for the luck of ro
mance.
Ox Creek bridge could bo neon for
two miles on cither side, ?s it united
the Flats half way from Sidney Place
to the school-ho-oesf*' and Post office,
where we received our mail oucoa week,
and th*t on Wednesday. We knew the
exact hour that John Moore would pass
the bridge astride of the little donkey
be had ridden for eight years, with the
mail-bag oarclc5s2y thrown across its fore
shoulders. Occasionally the mail-bag
presented a plethoric appearance ; then
we ull imagined there were letters for
the whole country ; hut when the bag
?prcumtod a collapsed appearance our
rnthuniasm n.cited considerably, and
our journey to the Post-office was not
accelerated by the hr\pc? of getting nny
thing but the "weekly paper, which ar ts
published at the shire town, fifteen miles
off.
Saditey Pflaco was s. happy hnm-v, for

?tfeudeel <o the .place, wl?lc Mary and
Harriet assisted, mother in attending to
the household dutie.", nud father attend

been J'ruh Master fur yea re, and "knew to a
cent'the ameunt of taxes each resident of
the parish was compelled to arurk out
yearly.. Has ?loa? application to the
highways kept them in good repair,
vrfcich served to keep him in office. The
emolument were light, but the honor
great. Everybody culled him the
? Squire," although he uevcr married
two hilly people iu his life, or decided a
case of arbitration. Ilia judgment was
relied upon, and I am not positive but
his premature opinion was strictly ad
hercd to iu eases ot controversy, for the
actual "Squire" wns a great admiiar of
father, and frequently consulted him
upon knotty points.
My lather was looked upon as a great
muo. The opinion of "Squire" Sidney
hud more weight in public opinion than
all the people in the connty. The bare
expression of his mind, moulded the
sentiment of the entire community; and
wby not? My father hud lived amongst

walked.
The loug porch that ran around throe
sides of the house shaded tho windows
half the day, and tho crcapiug vines on
the other side defied the Kot test rays of
summer's heat; and then at night, when
tho lowing cows have been placed in the
pasture, uud the duties of day were
! done, mother and ahtcrs sit on the front
porch and sing an evening hymn, ao
comsunicd by the guitar, played by
brother John ; lather, in his stocking
teet elevated to the tailing of the porch,
with pipo in hand, directing the bar
niony, for father in his younger days
hnd played the violiu with cousiderublc
?kill.
Old Towzer and I would be sitting
tiear the edge of the porch iu a mute
reverie, listening to the low gentle tones
of Mother's sweet snplirauo, tho mezzo
of Harriet, and the contralto of Mary.
J<?h*i occasionally assisted with a woll
cultivated bass, whioti completed the
quartette. Then wo would all ask
mother to sing a love song ; wheu,
placing her huud in father's open palm,
she would fing about the loves ofyouth,
unbroken affections, the ordeal of life,
and dcatb/s scpurntim. Oh, how the

sea uro very cnuimou. F^u tinn to
ti.ne I fiitve ? eo?ivoT^nra-of^rrprirro., oa
this subject. TudUy I shall attempt
to answer a few of I hem'
S* eotumon a phrase as 'C t'ching a
Tartar' has its -origin variously stated.
Gr-'.se, the ntitiq unrian, says that it came
ut ofaatory of an Irish soldier, in th j
Imperial service, who iu *u battle against
the Turks, called out to his comrade
that he had caugut a Tartar.
'Bring him along, then,' was the re
ply.
,lle won't come,' answered Paddy.
?Then come along yourself,' said his
comrade.
To which the Hibernian respon
ded.
'Ah, but he won't let me.'
This is alluded to in a roeoi.t work by
Professor Fitgerald, entitled 'Cautions
for the Times,' revised by Archbishop
Whately, of Dublin, tho great logician,
in the sentence, 'Wo are like the man
who boasted of'having caught a Tartar,'
when the faot was th it the Tartar caught
him.1
Tho term is al o applied by Charles
Dickens, iu his's'ory of 'Birnaby
lludg-.' It may be remembered th it
toward the olnsa of that powerful ro
mance, one Hue afternoon is mumiionci;
on which (jnbriel Varden, the jolly and
g iod- natured locks nit!., is hiving tea
in the little buck parlor, in compnay
with his buxom wlio, his preity little
daughter, and Joe Willet, hor one armed
betrothed, when, unexpooted, uninvited,
and unwclcomo, that antique tuiilcn,
MLs Miggs, presents hcrsolf to the com
pony, sure of being re engage.1 as Mrs.
Vardeu's handmaiden. As she guts tho
cold shoulder, Miggs bocomo!? saucy,
pouring the vials of hoi wrath unou the
whole company, colluc ively and indivi
dually. Her QritioistU up >n Gabriel
Vurdcn is convoyod in a lapid succcs
sion of angry aud suncy sentences, such
as '1 hsivc heard tho neighbors make re
mark as some onp thoy was acquainted
with was a poor, good natur'd, tuoui
spirited creetur, as wont out fishing
for a wife one day, and caught a Tar
tar.'
'Iiiko nchipiu porridge/ meaning a
person or thing ot small account or use,
is a phrase t hat often turns up in fami
liar conversation. Unco, on ontoring the
witness box, in a court f justice a per
son summoned to give tostiuiuoy said to
the judge;
'I dou'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 soildicr, and simply speaking sol
dior, said, in a general order to the Bon
g?l army :
'Tho roviows. which tho commander
iu chief* makes of the tf-oops are not to
be taken as so many 'chips in por
ridge!' . .
Many years ago, at a protested e'.eo
tion iu England, one of the candidates
observed:
'It.has been said that I hate played
the game,of Mr. Mellish. I have how
evor, done nothing toward his success.
I have rendered "him neither servico nor
dis service.'
?""A person in the crowd exclaimed:
'.No, nor to anybody else* You're a
mere chip in porridge J'
The idea being ?hat he was uttorly
inclficicnt. A bit of chip put into any
food, whother porridge soup or sauce,,
communicates no flavor to it, and is in
tho same category with a mio who is
utterly uhcIoss It is a familiar, natu
ral aud intelligible comparison.
Putting the cart before the horse,' is
u well-known illustration. It cau boast
of" great antiquity, having Grst bceu
quoted by Luciau, the great Greek writ
er, nearly seventeen hundred pears ago.
Francis Ilabeluis, tho French satirist
aud wit*whosc 'Gargantua' wag publish
ed in the year 1533, has tho phrase,
'lie placed tho carriage before the steed.'
No derivation of it can bo given, but
ihe meaning is very abivtous, and refers
to those who begin to do u thing at the
wrong end.
'Fating humble pic'?meaning that
the conceit shall be taken out of a per
son, that pride shall- ha ?e a fall?is an
expression often used in oou"ersation.
The proper way of spelling the dish
would be 'humble pie,' with the aspi
rate. It refers to a pie ouoe more com
mon in England thau it has bacn for
many generations. Two hundred years
ago, during the reign of Chftrlos II., the
condition of the people of Kughind was
so low th it, Lord Macanlay says, wages
were so low and meat -bo dear that hun
dreds of thousands of families knew tho
tustoNif it:' A'uiotig lite folk*, r> vcu
si n pastry was a favorite dish, but the
poor gentry had to put up with a pie
made of the 'umblc*,' or entrails of the
deer, which wmu the perquisites of the
keeper In Bailey's famous old diction
ury, the foundation of Johnson's great
work, the word'umblc' is said to be um
bilicus, the region of the intestines. If
a person who had afforded such a costly
di.-h as y.eusiou pastry wero redueed to
t';c me iner dish, it might be said thai he
was 'eating umble pie.'
There arc various derivations of the
term, 'Mind ymr P's and Q's.' It is
said to have arisen from the ancient
custom of hanging a slate behind tho
ale house door, on which was written
P or ?that is, pint or quart?against
the name of cacji customer, according
to the quantity which he had drank, and
which was not expected to be paid for
until the next aturday evening, when
the wages were .-ettied. Perhapi tho
word tick, meaning credit, may i\\sq be
traced to this?a tick or mark being put
lor .every glass of alo.
