" Laughing is the high prerogative of man, and that sublime
noble quality which distinguishes him from the brute creation.
le who cannot laugh gracefully, heartily, and by the hour at
scarcely ought to be ranked among the human species. The
jags of 3lornus, the writings of Democritus, and the attic works
Jae Miller, should therefore be studied in our Universities and
*rwnn.S. palaces and cottages, drawing-rooms and kitchens, not
for 'loath and pleasure, but from due regard to the dignity and
ourable distinction of man."—G. A. Steevena.

goods the business reported has been considerable, and within tats
last day or two the inquires have become general and extenviee.

low goods, tor which the buyers are obliged to contrict fur parcels
to be ready two or three weeks to come; no Lumps now over
under 775.: Molasses are M. 6tl. For Foreit,i, Sugars the in-
quiries have been considerable, but few sales are reported ; the
