Lastly your writer of Jeux it esprit thinks him- 

 self in style when he can take a decent hint 

 from three pretty lines in one of the chansons 

 populuries ot Paris: — 



" C'est la mode, la mode, !a mode, 

 Gul guide le monde 



A la ronde." — London Mag. 



[from late London Journals.] 



Sheridan's Greek. — Lord Belgrave, having 

 clenched a speech in the House of Commons 

 with a Greek quotation, Sheridan in reply, ad- 

 mitted the force of the quotation so far as it 

 went, " but," sjid he, " had the Noble Lord j A neat hut severe Repartee — In replying to some 

 proceeded a little further, and completed the | observations of Mr Dundas, in the House of 

 passage, he would have seen that it applied the Commons, Sheridan observed: — "The Right 

 other ivay.'" Sheridan then spouted something, ; Honorable Gentleman is indebted to his memo- 

 ore rotunda, ivhich had all the ais, ois, ous, kon, ; ly for his je.sls, and to his imagination for his 



and koss, that give the ivorld assurance of a 

 Greek quotation ; upon which Lord Belgrave 

 very piomptly and handsomely complimented 

 the Hon. Member on his readiness of recollec- 

 tion, and frankly admitted, that the continuation 



facts." 



A Chancery Barrister having been for a long 



while annoyed by an irritable ulcer on one of 



his legs, called upon Mr Abernethy for the pur- 



o7 tVe'paVsa7e''ha7rhrteVdenVv"ascVi'be^^^^ PO^e of obtaining that gentleman's advice The 



by Sheridan, and that he had overlooked it at 

 the moment when he gave his quotation. On 

 the breaking up of the House, Fox, who piqued 

 himself on having some Greek, went up to 

 Sheridan and asked him, " Sheridan, how came 

 you to he so ready with that passage ? it cer- 

 tainly is as you say, but 1 was not aware of it 

 before you quoted it." It is unnecessary to ob- 

 serve, that there was no Greek at all in Sheri- 

 dan's im|)romptu ! — Westminster Rex>. 



What is Style ? — VVitli every different class of 

 society this term bears a different meaning. 



The citizen thinks he is in style, when he 

 waddles along in a one-horse shay, with a full 

 blown wi(e by his side, and a swarm of little 

 cockneys at his feet. An English bagman con- 

 siders himsei/ in style when he arrives ten min- 

 tites within the hour, from the hist ten mile 

 stage, in his dennet, with the newest patent hor 

 izoDtal springs. He leaps from the vehicle in 

 style — tlirows ofl'half a dozen great Ciats, (like 

 the grave digger in Hamlet,) of various tex- 

 tures, weights and colours, in style ; — d ns 



the hostler to see his wheels greased, and his 

 raare fed, in style — shakes hands with the land 

 lord in style — marches into the room set apart 

 for himself and his brethren, in style — lakes a 

 chair in style — calls for a glass of brandy and iva 

 ler in style — ami then as!ts how trade wags, in 

 Jhe very tip-top gj of stylo. 



lour young maiden milliner, »vhen she can 

 romc out of the workshop, pull up her new 

 brown pelisse, show a handsome foot and ankle 

 — observe the string of her shoe loose — pull ulV 

 a little black kid ^love, and show a still less 

 hand, without the mark of a needle on the fore 

 finder. 



The Farmer's Dauffhter is in style when she 

 gets a new silk sjioiicer from London, which 

 confines her at tiie waist so tightly that she looks 

 like— 



" Apple-dumpliiij, at ihe middle tied." 



Your boarding school Mi»s is in the verv 

 quintessence of style when she can nunder 

 French, kill time, squall Italian, drown modesty 

 in a waltz, and thunder the Lancers on Ihe un- 

 fortunate piano-l'oite. 



Your fine fashionable dame is in most un- 

 doubted style, wlien she is certain of a call 

 every half hour in the forenoon, t^ a party eve- 

 ry night in Ihe winter, ivhere she shows Ihe 

 strenglb of her conslitulion by half undressing 

 before she display.* her charm- in a piercing 

 frost; with the tbcrmomcteir al twenty. 



Counsellor judging of an ulcer as of a brief, that 

 it must be seen before its nature could be under- 

 stood, was busily occupied in removing his stock- 

 ings and bandages, when Mr .\bernethy abrupt- 

 ly advanced towards him, and exclaimed in a 

 stentorian voice, " Halloo ! what are ye about 

 there ! put out your tongue, man ; Aye, 

 there 'tis, 1 sec it — I'm satisfied — quite enough 

 — shut up your leg, man — shut it up — shut it up. 

 Here, t.ike one of these pills every night on go 

 ing to bed." 'ihe lawyer put Ihe box of pills in- 

 to his pocket, handed over a lee, and was about 

 to leave the room, when Mr A. thus accosted 



him : " Why d e, look here, this is but a 



shilling!" The Barrister sarcastically replied 

 — "Aye, there 'tis, I see it — I'm satiffied! — 

 quite enough, quite enough, man !— shui it up 

 — shut it up !" and hastily quitted the room.

FRUIT TREES^ 



NATHANIEL DAVENPORT has for sale at his 

 Nursery in Milton, a great variety of Fruit and Orna- 

 mental Trees, among which are 



The Rev. Mr R. of N. used to go to a neigh- 

 bor every Saturday evening to borrow five dol- 

 lars, which he always returned on Monday morn- 

 ing. As the same money which had been lent 

 was invariably returned in payment, the lender 

 became surprised at the repetition of a request 

 so singular, and asked for an explanation. The 

 good old Parson replied, that he had no use for 

 ;he money but on Sundays, for he could preach 

 much better with a five dollar bill in his pocket 

 Ihan when it was empty. If our readers have 

 the sagacity which we believe they possess, liie 

 above slory may suggest to them the reason 

 why we sometimes write no better. — JVew Bed- 

 ford Mercury. 



Agriculture. — The soil of every country, and 

 the bringing to the utmost perfection its various 

 productions, are the foundations of all wealth 

 and prosperity. You might as well hope to see 

 Ihe human body in active motion when palsy 

 bad rf>ached the heart, or a tree flourishing 

 after its roots were decayed, as expect to see 

 manufactures, or arts, or industry of any des- 

 cription progressive, when agriculture has de 

 clined. — Salem Observer. 



Commerce. — In a country that is fruitful, spa- 

 cious, pnpnious, and abounding with seaports, ii 

 Ihe people are industrious, they may draw from 

 the bosom of. the earth immense treasure, which 

 would be lost by the negligence and sloth of ii« 

 inhabitants. By improving the productions of 

 nature by manufactures, the national riches 

 are augmented ; and if is by carrying those 

 fruits of industry to other nations, that a solid 

 commerce is established. — Ibid.
