And I'll repeal it time.. score— •

Then whisper, 4' Stop and hare some pie"—

And say, "Good bye," Nan, white I eat.

Illas kiss tad eat another puff;
Till Ma'am AO fur her dinner cry,
Oh! limo, my Nan, my cook, " Good bye!"

An unfortunate Scotehman, whose name was
FEYERETON, war obliged, in pursuit of fortune, to
settle among some Germans in New York. This
name not exactly suiting their ears, they trans.
lated it literally into German, and called him
Fenerstein. On his return to an English neigh-
bourhood, his new acquaintances discovered that
Fenerston in German, meant Flint in E, g,
lish. They re-translated instead of restoring his
name; and the descendants of FEYERSTON go by
the name of Flint to this day. We must except,
however, one of his grandsons, who settled at the
Acadian coast, on the Mississippi, whose name un-
derwent the fate of the rest of the family; he was
called, by a literal translation into French, Pierre a
Frail ; and his eldest son returning to f:le family
clan, underwent another metamorphosis, and wrs
called Peter Gun !
