| A DISTINGUISHED Advocate of Republican Institutions was seen pickling his shins in the ocean. Very busy and very happy were Rose's days now, for in the morning she went about the house with Aunt Plenty attending to linen-closets and store-rooms, pickling and preserving, exploring garret and cellar to see that all was right, and learning, in the good old-fashioned manner, to look well after the ways of the household. She could read any English book without much spelling; but for pickling, preserving, and cooking, none could excel her. |
