SCHOOL BOARD ESSAYS.

Cookery is donewithmeat, and potaters, and eabbidge, and pudding, on every Sunday. You must light a fire. You put sticks, and paper, and koles, and then set light to it. If it wont burn you can boil the meat and potaters, but I like them baked best, because there is plenty of fat, sometimes a fire wont burn because the sticks are wet, out of the yard, and it takes such a time. The cook in a situation, has to sweep the chimney. You call in a sweep, and kisa him, for his mother. Then you send for some sweepstakes for his dinner. While he is eating his stakes, you go up the chimney, best foot foremost, and put your head out of the chimney pot, andcry sweep. I have not seen this, but read it in a book, about poor negro children. There iB a fish called soul, which is often fride, another fi9h is the skate, which is put on the ice. The lady at number seven, said to her servant, if you can get me a made you may get yourself a place and the servant went to a fish shop. The whiting is a fish, that is cooked with browning, but if the sut falls down the chimney, it becomes blacking, which is what they clean boots with. A black pudding is made white, at first, like a whiting fish, but it is made black with blackled, which makes it shine so. If a black pudding, ort to be white, you wash the blackled off it. I like the lumps of fat, in o black pudding I think it is better than lumps of delite. I once eet a boedel, it was not uise. But I like hot permatum, also spratts. The cooks company is in the city, but sometimes cooks have a lot of company in the kitchon. Mis3es Browns cook did, when they was out town, and she went away when Misse3 Brown como back. Roasting is done with a fire, the same as chestnuts, at the corner of angpender alley, where the man sell them 4 for aipney. Boiling iB done in a boiler, which I spose is ; what they call, bubbel and squeek. Mrs Harris told her servant the fire was not smart enuf for broiling, and the servant told her to tie some ribbon on it, and Mrs Harris sent her away. Hair is made, out of sumbodis wig. Beef has to be hung in the safe, before it is hung at the fier, and I think it dredful for yon body to be hung twice. Potatera have to be with a bone in them, I wonder how the bono gets there. Thyme is everything in cooking, and so is punksbuality, solomon sayd punkshuality is the theef of thyme, and thats all about cooking from yor affec dewtifully.—Elbn TaxliOß, in the " Gardener's Magazine."
