NUPTIAL REPARTEE.
CirAwt.Es to the Altar led the lovely KATE,
• They from the Church return'd again in state,
Where (to convey them on their wedding tour)
Already stood a neat barouche and four;
But lo! the gathering show'rs at once descend,
Clouds roll on clouds, and angry winds contend,
These move him not, but in lie hands his bride,
Then seats himself enraptur'd by her side.
And now to cheer the Fair he thus begun—
I hope we soon shall have a little Sex.
But she, to whom the weather gave no pain,
Who shrunk not from the wind nor felt the rain,
And, while the hope of future joys, bethought her.
Replied, "My dear, I'd rather have a Daughter."
Sandwich, Dcc. 18.

" AUDI ALTERA3I PARTEIII."
The maxim's bad, you may depend on't,
For thus we ne'er should see an end on't :
Hear but one side, the thing is plain;
But when you come to hear the other,
The question then's all buz and bother,
And Judgment halts betwixt the twain.
Had he who t'other day disputed,
Thought why this Court was instituted,
To censure he had sure been loth,
For 'twas dispatch that it was set on,
And how the devil can he get on,
_ _

Who stops to hear whatrs sail by both !
'Twas shrewdly done, when 'twas decided
The rat, who with both parties sided,
A Judge impartial needs must prove ;
But then dispatch !—things so uneven
To keep in line was never given*
To men below or Gods above.
He should not then have been so rated,
Who merits all that can be stated ;
And he who censures is a dunce :
For in dispatch you see his heart is,
And still consistent with his parties,
He wisely takes them one at once.

The first book auction in England, of which
we have any record, is of a date as far back as 1676, when the
library of Dr. Seaman was brought to the hammer. Prefixed
to the catalogue there is an address, which thus commences :
" Reader, it hath not been usual here in England to make sale
of books by way of auction, or who will give most for them,
but it having been practised in other countries, to the great ad-
vantage of both buyers and sellers, it was therefore conceived,
for the encouragement of learning, to publish the sale of these
books in this manner of way."
