Getting Convalescent.

The pleasure of feeling better after a long illness is very enjoyable. Trouble' arises, at times as to how to tickle our. ptilate, as fried chops or boiled eggs 'am well in their way— when you, .are well. An excellent friend thoroughly understood our little difficulties and wired : •' There is bfflps£ station with oysters and fish WJ The box was speedily brought up a ■fa»ened— Oysters, yes, of the Auc£|aj& .rock variety, which is saying tney are the best, but every oyster, was separate and every lump waaafl* oyster I We mention this fact &a when oysters get to this port by sea they, must presumably have been obt4%w by blasting, as to every half* hunted weight of material the purchaser secured a prospect of twenty four oysters. The box likewise contained lemons for cooling drinks, a bottle of West India Pickles prepared or imported by that excellent lady, Elizabeth Lazenby, who by her. judgment in selecting these picklii; and the Harvey Sauce has done more for the emancipation of her eexlhan all the loud talkers of the past thirty years* These are items that can be obtained, here, therie, though not everywhere. But though last' not by any means the least, these were three tins, the like of which we have not previously heard, much more, tasted. What do you tßink of this " Piima Delikatem RulhaiU 'V-in other words, that is in ftpglish, "Delicious boneless herring." The one act that was needed to make herrings some of the best of fish. The next tin was labelled " Stegie Fiakefriea^etter i VinsaneeV only V Fried fish cakes in wine sauce," a mere every day lunch. The last tin gave us, at first, a shock as we mistook it for a sardine case, which it closely resembled, and for the artist who could secure the above luxuries to 'spoil the lot by sardines seemed most unfortunate. It was not sardines, we ought to have known it, but a small tin of " Smoked Swedish Salmon in Oil," -' The question is becoming expiting whether the patient will get | better*6rVorße.
