HOOP peticoats are still the vogue in Spain.
The Court-dress is perpetual ; it never varies.
Some years ago, an attempt was made to alter
it, but in vain : nothing could be found to sur
pass the elegance of the Spanish Court dr&fe.
A conversation taking place on the fubje&
of extraordinary things done by dogs—one of
the company said, he had seen two maftiffs fight
till nothing was left but their tails !
The late Sam Foote could fay any thing of
any body or to any body; when he was once
at the table of Lord Kelly, remarkable for his
rubicundity of nose, a gentleman present com
plained that the beer was rather cold —“ Get
his Lordffiip to dip his nose into the tankard,"
said Foote, %nd if he keeps it there half a
minute, and the beer does not boil, it must be

ORIGIN OF THE WORD DUN.
Some have derived this word from
the French word donnez, signifying give
me, implying a demand of something
due ; and others, amongst whom is the
celebrated Dr. Johnson, from the Sax
on word dunan to clamour. Both are
wrong. The origin ofthe word, as re
lated in a perodical work published in
London nearly a century ago, is firn
ply this.—ln the feign of Hlehery VII
a famous bailiff, named Joe Dun, lived
in the town of Lincoln. This man
was so extremely dexterous in his rough
bofinefs, that it was usual, when a per
son tefnfed to fay'his debts, to fay,
Qh don't you DON him 2 That is, why
don't you i fend Dun to arrest him ??
And hence the custom of calling a per
• fan, who presses anbther forthe; pay
ment of money, a Dwr.rr^

-
LAS, ihe's gone ! beyond the orb of day,
Per fainted Ipirit wings its rapid way ;
Thro' fields cf light it fecks a bled abode,
Iter^i in th? presence of"her GOD
Not all that mecknefs which her foul poffefi'd,
Nor all that goodneft which had made her bleft ;
Nor those fenfrtions of the female mind,
So nobly ardent, yet so gently kind;
Nor all those God-like qualities below,
Which iliining virtue only can bellow,
Nor that attractive, all transporting grace
Which beam'd Graphic from her lovely face,;
Nor that benevolent alluring Imile,
Whose pon 'r could mis'ry's felfof carc beguile ;
Not these, alas ! in their urrivalTd bloom
Could fare her from the cold, the silent tomb ;
Nor can the heart-felt groan, or swelling sigh,
Recall her spirit from yon cloudlefa sky.
Oft to her grave HUMANITY repairs,
And sheds her tribute of unnumber'd tears.
The lowly indigent, and deep diftrefs'd,
With Breaming eye, and sadly heaving bread,
Bedew the turf, around her silent bed,
And mourn a friend, and common parent dead.
—Yet ccafe again to mourn, ye weep in vain,
Your loss, though great is her eternal gain.
Behold her with a calm and tearlefs eye,
Though dead below, an angel in the sky.

HE that would undermine those foundations
on which the fabric of our future happiness
is reared, fecks to beat down the column which
supports the feeblenefs of humanity. Let him
but think ts moment, and his heart will arrest
the cruelty of his purpofc.—Would he pluck
its little treasure from the bosom of poverty ?—
Would he wrest its crutch from the hand of age,
and remove from the eye of affliction the only
solace of its woe ? The wav we tread is rugged
at best; we tread it, however, lighter, by the
profpe& of that better country to which we
trust it will lead: Tell us not that it will end
in the gulph of eternal dissolution, or break off
in some wild which fancy may fill up as she
pleases, but which reason is unable to delineate.
Quench not that beam, which, amidst the night
of this evil world, has cheered the despondency
of ill-requited worth, and illuminated the dark
ness of buffering virtue. [Mackenzie.

" A ridiculous custom having long prevailed
of wearing shoes, with toes of an enormous,
length a proclamation was issued for fuppreffiog
the fame ; in which it was ordered and ordain
ed, that for the future, the beaks or toes of shoes
and boots should not exceed a inches in length;
on the penalty of the wearer's being excommu
nicated, and paying a fine of twenty (hillings
for each offence, to be equally divided between
the King, the chamber of London, and com
pany of Cordwainers."
This order passed in Edward the Fourth's
time, May, 1465. —We may observe that the
fame ridiculous custom which lately prevailed
