BURDLE’S, Gitgetown, D CLASSICAL BOARDING i a respectable looking m: EVENING STAR. ——— = SSS Dr. Johnson's Pudding Last summer. made an excursion to Scot- land, with the intention of completi my views, and went over the same groaned. de- scribed by the learned tourists, Dr. Johnson and Boswell. 1 am in the habit of taking very long walks on these occasions; and per- ceiving a storm threaten, I made the best of my way to a small building. I arrived in time at a neat little inn, and was received Ly nd his wife, who did all in their power to make me comforta- ble After eating some excellent fried mut- ton chops, and drinking a quart of ale, I asked the landlord to sit down and partake of a bowl of whisky punch. I found him, as the Scotch generally are. very intelligent, and full of anecdotes, of which the foll owing may serve as a specimen : “Sir,” said the landlord, “this inn was formerly kept by Andrew Macgregor, a rela- tionof mine; and these hard-bottomed chairs in which wo are now sitting) were, years ago, lied by the great tourists, traveling like the lion and jackal. Boswell generally preceded the Doctor in search of food, and being much poet with the looks of the house, followed is nose into the larder, where he saw a fine leg of mutton. He ordered it to be roasted with the utmost expedition, and gave particu lar orders for a nice pudding ‘Now,’ says he, ‘make the best of all puddings’ Elated with his good luck, he immediately went out in search of his friend, and saw the giant of learning slowly advancing on a pony “« My dear sir,”’ said Boswell, out of breath with joy, “ good news! [ have just bespoke, at a comfortable andcleaninn here a delicions leg of mutton; it is now getting ready, and L flatter myself that we shall make an excellent meal.” Jobuson looked pleased ‘And [ Lope,” said he, “you have bespoke a pud- ding’? “Sir, you will have your favorite puiding,”’ replied the other. ‘-Jobnzon got off the pony, and the poor animal, relizved from the giant, smelt his way intothe stable Boswell ushered the Doctor into the house, and left bim to prepare for bis delicious treat. Johnson feeling his coat rather damp, from the wirt of the mountains, went into the kitchen and throw his upper gu: ment on acheir before the fire; he satona hob near a little boy who was attending the meat, Johnson cecasisnally peeped from be- hind his coat, while the boy Kept baiting the mutton. Jobnson did not like the appearance | «f his head; when he shifted the basting | ladle from one band, the other band was never idle, and the Doctor thought at the same time he saw something fall on the meat. upon which he determined to eat no mutton on that day. The dinner was anneunced, Boswell exclaimed, ‘My dear Dvctor, here comes the muttcn—whet a picture! done to a turn, and looks so beautifully brown!’ The Doctor tittered. Afier a short grace, Boswell said : “I suppose I am to carve, as usual; what partsbalil help youtoo!’’ The Doctor replied: ‘My dear Bozy, I did not like to tell you before, but I am determined to abstain from meat to day. “0, dear! this is a great disappointment,’ said Bozy. “Say no more; I shail make myself ample amends with the pudding ’ Boswell commenced the attack, and made the first cut at the mutton. “ liow the g avy runs; what fine flavored fat, so nice and t Oh, sir you would have relished me piece of inutton.’” e meat being removed, in came the long wished for pudding The Doctor looking joyous, fell eagerly to, and in a few moments nearly finished the pudding. The table was cleared, and Boswell said : ‘* Doctor, while I was eating the mutton, you seemed frequently inclined to laugh; pray, tell me what tickled your fancy ?”’ ‘be Doctor then literally told him all that had passed at the kitchen fire, about the boy and the basting. Bosweil turned as pale as a parsnip, and, sick of himself and the com- pany, darted out ofthe room Somewhat ro- lieved on returning, he insisted on seeing the dirty little raseally boy, whom he severely reprimanded before Jobnsun. The poor boy eried—the Doctor laughed “* You little, filthy, snivelling hound,”’ said Boswell, ‘‘when you basted the meat, why did you not put on the cap I saw you in this morning ?’’ “*T couldn’t, sir,’ said the boy. “No! why couldn’t you?’ said Boswell * Because my mammy took it from me to boil the pudding in!” “The Doctor gathered up his herculean frame, steod erect, touched the ceiling with his wig, etared or rquinted ; indeed, looked any way but the right way. At last, with mouth wide open (none of the smwalle-t) and stomach h r, he with some difficulty re- covered hia breath, and, looking ut Boswell piled contempt, he roared out with | too ir: a ir, leave off laughing, and under pain of my eternal displeasure, never utter a single syllable of this ubominable ad- veuture ty any seul living while you breathe * And such,” mino host, ‘* you have tho positive fact p the mouth of your humble eervant.”’—Augelo's Keminuscenses A Lawyer at Fault We gave in our last number an nmusing sketch of a3 scene at one of our courls in this city.
