AN ESSAY ON HASH.
Hash is a noun, common — in boarding houses — often parsed and frequently declined, neuter gender, singular case. Hash is not mentioned in the Bible, although many authorities consider that it is referred to in the verse which speaks of Abraham's doing penance of going in for " sackcloth and h-ashes," and Shakspeare had it in mind when he wrote of " mincing matters." Hash is like a good many things in religion — it has to be taken largely on faith. Many people object to it, when they are not in reality accustomed to anything better. Those who are continually clamoring for better fare should eat sawdust, which is really fine board.
