BASqURT, t In three cantos, ia a poem likefv to attract fbe curiosity of readers of taste, both from its . subject, which is that ofgood eating, and from itA beauty, both of decoration and of verse. The idea it much from tne Gastronomia of Bercheaux—a work which has been very po pular in France. The following will give our leaders a favorable i Jea of the execution. In ridicule of the vulgar praedceof a newly rich man, tormenting his guests at table, he says: Rather no sound e’er p iss your lips again, Than stun your guests in trite and hacknied strain : ** How 1 rejoice my worthy friends to see ! Just as at home, pray, gentlemen, make tree: Do me the favor—dip iu that ragout— Mv granmotber’s recipi—completely new ! These peas, Sir John, may I request your plate— Though I protest they’re wholly out of date; So is the asparagus much hur* I fear— There’s nothing to be had this time of year. How is the vtn’son ’ roasted as you like ? Good Doctor stick your fork into that juke. I’m sure I’m quite aaham’dto give you tmu ole ; l^e • Sir William, when at home you eat the dou My dearest Lady D—, a bit of chicken ? That’s a mere bone the Bishop there is pick ing. ipain: My love, your neighbors! why you take no Do ntlp Lord-to a little brains. By the east winds how every thing is dried— 1 wish 1 knew what better to provide : But when you honor me again, my friends, I vow I’ll do my best to make amends.” From the Vrw- York Columbian.

As soon as she a woke site called for rum—the devil a drop would I give her; but told her i( wa- filter she should take pit uty of Corporation Gin ; on which she drawed oti and gave me a clue in the face.

Yes, sir, pump grater—that’s the stuff she wanted me to take on my poor weak -tomach, alter being six mouths in the penitentiary. True huHior must consist in a pleasantry deiived trom nature ; in vivacity and mirth, without affectation, bounded by truth, and supported by good sense.
