" What shall I bring you for dessert, sir ?" said a polite waiter at a fashionable hotel, as he commenced removing a formidable array of empty dishes from before a guest, evidently from the rural districts. "Now, young man," said he, "jest you give me time; all you're got to do now is to fill all thoae dishes up again the same as they were beforehand bring 'em here ; by'me-by we'll talk about yer pies and yep puddin's." A kind word spoken to a husband will often go further than a broom-stick or a flit iron, says a woman of experience.
