With difficulty he found his why
to the street, in which formerly stood
his decent habitation ; and his heart
became more and more elated at eve
ry step which he advanced. He pro
ceeded, and looked with earnestness
around ; but saw few of those ob
jeas with which he was formerly coh
verfant. A magnificent edefice was
treated on the site of the house which
he had inhabited; The dwellings of
his neighbours had assumed new
forms ; arid he beheld riot a single
feaiori. An aged pauper, who ftodd
with trenibling knees, at the gate of
a portico, from which he had been
thrust by the irifolent meniel who at
tended it, struck his attention. He
flopped to give him a pittance but of
the bounty, with which he had beeh
fdpplied by the emperor's liberality;
And received in return, the fad tid
ings that his wife had fallen a linger
ing lacrifice to penury and sorrow ;
that his children were gone to seek
their fortunes iri unknown dirtiateg;
arid that the grave contained his
tieareft and most valuable friends.—
Overwhelmed with anguish, he has
tened to the palace of his fovereigri,
into whose prelence his hoary lock!
arid mournful visage soon obtained
admission; and casting himfelf at the

cried, remand me to the prison, from

I remember to have seen it somewhere
recorded, that an emperor of China,

prisons of all that were confined for
debt. Among the number was an

IIZ"™ Garrick was last at- Paris, Preville
VV invited him to his villa. Preville was rec
koned the most accomplished comedian of the
French theatre. Garrick being in a gay humour,
proposed to go in one of the hired coaches, that go
to Versailles, on which road the Villa of Preville
lies. When they got in, he ordered the coachman
to drive on; who answered, that he would do so,
as soon as he got his complement of four passen
gers. , A caprice immediately seized Garrick; he
determined to give his brother player a specimen
of his art. While the coachman was attentively
plying for passengers, Garrick flipt out of the door,
went round the coach, and by his wonderful com
mand of countenance, a power, which he so happi
ly displayed in. Abel Drugget palmed himfelf upon
the coachman for a ftrartger. This he did twice,
and was, admitted each time into the coach as a
frefh passenger, to the astonishment and admirati
on of Preville. He whipped out a third time, and
addressing himfelf to the coachman, was answered
in a surly tone that he bad already got his complement ;
^pd the coachman would, have driven off without
liim, had not Preville called out that as the stran
ger appeared to be a very liple man, th#, would,
to accommodate the gentleman, contrive to make
room.
A country fchoo|-mafter (fays a London paper)
lately furnifhed his pupils with the following ex
planation of the subsequent abreviations:
L. L. D.—Lazy, lousy dogs.

C. C. C.—Cringing, creeping creature.
A. B.—Batchelor of Arts; one that courts the
arts, but ndver weds them..

It is presumed, that the learned gentleman had
no claim himfelf to any cf these abreviations.

A variety of citcumftances have

their collections of Excise due between O&ober ift,
1789, and Odober ift, 1790, until this time—As,
therefore, ample time has been, given to carry the
Produce, &c. to marker, hope punctuality in ren

Persons of every description, liable to pay Excise

who have not paid the fame, as well as those for the
