WITYOOIII AND 1111 BARREL —"SA we were in
Weymouth—beloved of the Fourth George [our contem-
porary means Geo. lII.] who made the place what it is.
Making my way to the pecket-ollee, I got my pass for
the boat from courteous Mr. Maunders, and then looked
out some comfortable "diggings"—thereafter sallying
out in search of diversion, tbe which I obtained of a
moot entertaining barber—beg pardon, he did not shave
people, and was an "artist in heir "—who, whilst he
was shampooing me, regaled me with his opinion on
things in general, and took the greatest interest ia my
heir, which he immured me would be off in three or four
year: time! This was news indeed ; would anything
prevent such a catastrophe! The great artist shook
him head gravely, as one accustomed to prescribe is
these little matters, and replied in these remarkable words

one boat, and had to wait perforoe • day and • half in
pleasant Weymouth; but, as lack could have it, the
rain, which had been "raining every day," came down
in the most approved style which Jupiter MMus could
command—rendering the Promenade snot over-delight-
ful walk until the weather chose to clear up. Thee

bright.faced daughters of Albion, and the chubby
youngsters who are always to be ',mod at every

making the hest use of their time by digging holes of
unlimited depth. Watching the young excavators, and
climbing the adjacent hills to be rewarded by a eight of
