Cringle of Cemus,
Mirth that wrinkled Care derides,
✓lnd Laughter holding both his fdes.
A notorious miser having heard a very eloquent
charity sermon, " tins termon," laid he, -' so
flrongiy proves the peceffity ut alms, I had aimoil
a mind to beg."
A dashing highwayman being at the place of
Execution, in company With a chimney-sweeper,
and anxious, whatever foots there might be an
his reputation, to preserve his leather breeches
unsullied ; delired his companion to hand at a
greater didance—“ Why, replied sweep, hav'nt I
as much right to be here as you have?"
Mr. Chifhul, in his travels, relates it rather as a
laughable circumflmce, that a tador firft difcover
the cabbage-tree on the coati of Africa ! !
BOOTEES GROWN TO ROOTS.
A good thing js a good thing, if there is riot too
much or too little of it—Of what use is a little boot
fn summer ?—For winter, indeed, a bootee me
answer well enough !—The mud or the fffow o
winter is very convenient draper, for a clean fdk
flocking ! —But lor summer, nothing fh>rt ofa
toot—a full grown boot—as big as the old Germar
boor—with a little dapper duck-bill peak, just fix
inches long—and no more ! A good thing, indeed ;
but a little too mtfch of it ! A little too much be
low, & hardly enough above !—Pantaloons drawn
long up to the arm-pits, with a waistcoat near!
three inches long .' —Long! long! No, no more
than two inches wide I —full as wide as a ribband !
A good thing, but hardly enough of it ! !!
