Instantly the chubby hand of a five-year-old was raised, and promptly came the answer, “ Pepper, salt, vinegar, and mustard." A gentleman had five daughters, all of whom he brought up to become useful and respectable characters in life. These daughters manied one af'er the other, with the consent of their father. The first married a gentleman of the name of Poor, the second a Mr Little, the third a Mr Short, the fourth a Mr Brown, and the fifths Mr Hogg. At the wedding of the latter her sisters with their husbands were there, and the oil gentleman said to the guests. “ I have taken I pains to educate my daughters that they might act well their parts in. life, and from their ad- [ vantages and improvements I fondly hoped that I they would do honour to ray family. I find that 1 all my pa.ns, care, and expectations have turned | out nothing but a Poor, Little. Short, brown.
