Among all the persons who surrounded me, tile most
grotesque without comparison, was a very fat man with a
triplechin, seated on the pole of a coach, and eagerly taking an
!inventory of the contents of a basket of excellent eatables,
)Nsisnira young woman who accompanied him, took off his wig,
i‘aii'd rubbed his head with a piece of flannel. I approached to
tibthve hith a little more at my ease. He tapped me finui-
-1754y on the shoulder, asked• where they *fluid breakfast,
and seemed delighted to learn that Meaux was the place. " A
famous country," cried he, " It is indeed," said I, (mistak-
ing the import of his exclamation), " you will pass the house,
where the E,aglpf Alcaux resided ;" " That I don't trouble.
myself about," replied he, " I think less of all the eagles in
the word,than a good fat fowl, and those of Brie have a won-
derful reputation." -

"Thisnoble reflection lndsutficiently convinced me, that-the
siml and bo4 of this lusty Vitellpeswere won lerfully well mat ch-
ed ; I left him to listen to a dispute which bad just arisen between
the conductor and an elegant woman round whom the people
bad gathered. The debate related to -a trunk which she had
occasion for every evening, and whichliad been unfortunately

.4.' '4' Those passengers who first entered the coach, had pos-
'''sessed themselves of the best places, and refused to Kite them
'up, notwithstanding the representations of the Iremainder.—
* 'ln short, they never would have come to a right understand-
: ino-., if the conductor, armed withwiththe way-bill, had,not inter-
posed his authority, and assigned to every one his proper
seat. By this arrangement Charles was placed in the front,
between an old ecclesiastic, who mumbled his breviary, and
the little actress who hummed a tune. One of the seats by
the door was occupied by the .haberdasher, and the other
by,a young physician, who had been maiataining a theory on,
•
aneurism. The lusty man who was enamoured of fat fowls,
.. -and the - ofF.cer's lady, were seated at the bottom. of the re-
.. hide, which their bulk, though meant for three persons,
• pretty well filled, and they flattered themselves they. might
• depart without a third. The last adieus were breathed, the
condnetor.was about to close the door, when a lady of about
,finarteen stone weight, was squeezed into the coach, with the
help of three persons who accompanied bar, and, in a mu-
' ' aientjammed herself between the two neighbours at the but-
: tom, who uttered a deep groan, which was answered by the
„r. rest of the company, by a violent burst of laughter. An addi-
tion to their misfortunes was, that the lady had preserved the
-'old fashion of wearing pockets,which were filled with a variety
of implements, and caused the lusty gentleman to complain
most bitterly, to the great. amusement of every one. Things
however, were much worse when her son threw into her lap
a growling wolf dog, 'and her servant handed to her a Wooden
clge enclosing a large grey.parrot, which immediately saluted
the company with ,t, Good Dc,,,,, and " Pretty Poll,"
very distinctly. To prevent
.any inconvenience, the good
dune endeavoured to pot the cage under her: feet, but
the bird, whont the darkness> doubtless displeased, laid
hold of-the fat man's leg, WiliCh lie. bit in 'such a man-.
ner as to make him roar out most lustily. The laughter
_
and noise increased, avid recourse was sought at the tri-
bunal of the conductor, who, - on the complaint of the
Wounded man, and the display of his bleeding leg, pro-
nounced fur the dismissal of the mutinous parrot. - The. order
being executed, he mounted his cabriolet, and after t hepostil-
- lions had drank their stirrup •eup, and sinaehial their whips,
the enormous vehicle was put in motion,. making the pave-
meat trembie twenty lords rotund about."

c."f he tears lire in an onlaa that should wlter this sorrow."
BILIKEsVEARE.

A Damsel there-was, and her sat:in:lle was Thrope,
And her chr:Stian name was AIM:—
Few lovers Led she for berhsvours to hope,
For she was a hater of nytn
And heartily she detested she sex,
And her only aniuseinent was to vex,
And every thought of pleasure perplex';—
Oh Thrope! Ann Tit rope! Oh Miss-Ann-Thrope!
On the penseroso plan.

This sorrowful Damsel, Miss Ann Thrive,
Thought laughter a mortal sin;

As soon in the fuorn as her eyes did ope,
To weep they (lid begin.
For her highest luxury was to grieve,,
And in company to cry in her sleeve ;
And as long as her shadow leri4then'd at eve—
Oh Thrope ! Ann Thrope ! Oh Miss An►i Thrope
She was sure to lengthen her chin.

Such sentimentality Miss Ann Thrope
Expected all would admire ;
So she studied to mumble, mump, and mOPe,
Like tt cat by the kitchen fire.
The juys of the world she tnrn'd into woes,
whenever she stooped to pluck a r, se,
She took care to scratch her unfortunate nose-7
Oh Thrope ! ,\nn Thrope ! Oh Miss Ann Throie!
By smelling too near to the briar.

Sure nobody else but Miss Ann Thrive
In sorrow would waste.the day,
And go out of their road for griefs to grope,
When so many are in the way.—
But she in a tomb-stone made her bell,
And epitaphs all night'she read,
And with dying-speeches bothered her head—
Oh Throve! Ann Thiopet: Oh Miss Ann Thrope
Till she sent her brains astray.

When- my Lord came wooing to Miss Ann Thrope,
Fir was jnst a Cumin:, from school;
He paid his addresses i❑ a Trope,
And called her his pietty Bu
But she knew nut in the modern scale,
That a couple of Bulls was a Ni'ghtingak
So full in -his face she turn'd-her tail-
Oh ThroFe! Ann Thrope! Oh Miss Ann Thropc !
As sweet as a fresh-blown Gal.

Then he sent a Lore sonnet to Miss Anil Thrope,
Four stanzas of elegant woe.
The letters were cut in a comical slope,
With Zcol pa o-xc a.727rw. •
'Ta•as ail shunt Rivals and Ruins and Racks ; ,
The bearer was Brest in a new suit of blacks;
The paper was sable, and so ,k-11s the ♦sax?
Oh Thrope ! Ann Thrope ! Oh Miss Ann Thrope !
And his pen was the qu►ll of a crow.

What quere-looking words—thought Miss Ann Thropc—
To tag at the tail of a Distich
So she clapped her eye to a mietoscope,
To get at their sense cabalistic, .
•
He swore in the Hellespont he'd fall, _
If she would not go with him to IsTAmnot.:
But all she would answer was, tol de rot 10l
Oh Thrope ! Ann Thrupe t Oh Miss Ann Tbrope !
, To his Lordship's Rhymes Hellefiktie.

Then the Peer tic said—oh Miss Ann Thrope,
Since life is a fading Hower,
You'll do me the favour to elope
With your own dear faithful Gin.ou R.
And as for your Father, and Mother and Aunt,
The family alt I will enchant,
By reading of a Itomaic ltaimannt—
Oh Thrope ! Ann Thrope ! oh Mis, Ann Thrope !
Till they shed of tears a shOwer.

His Lordship he read :—and Miss Ann Tbrupe
Was obliged to praise his wit ;

But as the poetry seemed rather sop-
-orifie, she dozed a bit. -
Till, quite orerwhelned with slumber and sorroW,
A yawn or two she begged leave to borrow—
And said if he'd call rain to-morroW-7
Ob Thro.pe! Ann Thrope! Oh Miss Ann Thrope
He uaight read a second FyrrE.

He read till be wept ; —but Miss Ann Thtope
_Declared it was all any eye;
She called Win a Jew, and wished the l'ne
Had his Hebrew melody.
Says any Lord—" I beg you will call it EE;
" And as whitom, you have listenvd ne, •
'6 be off to the Paptims beyond the sea--
".Oh Thrope! Ann Thrope! Oh Miss Ann Thtope!
" And leave you cft,yoons to die."

Alt who could resist?---Nut Miss Ann Thropc—
A ColisAiß hu►'C i i sight ;
My Lord he bid him throw out a rope,
And hold it fast and tight.
So then they put it to the vote,
1k tipped the LozEL a one pound note,
And they jumped together into the !Wilt—.
Oh Thrope ! Ann Thrope Oh Miss Ann Thrope!
And hid her papa Woo IN toirr.
