LITTLE ESSAYS.

By AUNT SARAH THE PIG.

The pig s composed principally of pork, crackling, trotters, and bad manners. As a pot tor the chidren he is not to l>e recommended, and the onlv timo ho really behaves himself well in tho house is when on a large dish, witn plenty of steam and par;nips and stultiug. The pg will eat anything, and generally does . His favourite diet is old boots, flower-pots, coal, coke, saucepans, and cinders. He is usually an awful pig. The chief hobby of the pig is eating, and he does this all the time, as well as between meals. Pigs usually die very suddenly, an J

with a lot of noise. They are then known as pickled pork, roast pork, chops, bacon, and hams. The hams of little pigs are called hamlets Shakespeare wrote a play about hamlets, whiea some people believe to have been written by Bacon. Tho pig :n tho picture wears a pathetic expression. He has just heard somebody mention apple-same. Pigs don't like app'o.sauee, and sage and onion stuffing brings tears to their eye-. The littlo loop at the oast end of the pig is 'its tail. This is of no use whatever, either as a handle o ■ to keep flics off. The little spikes on his back are bristles. Pigs are generally covered with them, hut this one had gone nearly bald with worry, so we only put a few n just to sho,w wiiut they are like. Pigs live in very untidy homes called pgstics, and never by any chance do the pigstidy them up (joke).
