ANTIPATIUMA ANCIENT AM) MODERN

Henry W. of Vraoce could not stay in the room where
there was a. cat, though so immoderately fond of dogs,
that the Duke of Sully says, on his first audience, he had
a basket full of young' puppies, suspended by a Week
ritrmg from his neck, and was playing with them all the
time of the conference. The Duke d'Epenon would faint

" that the King's band -shook so muelt in knighting film,
that he Would have rim the point of the sword into his eye
if the Duke of Buckingham had not directed it to him
shoulder." La Motte de Vayer could not endure music,
but delighted in thunder. An Englishman, in the seven-
te'.enth century, was near expiring, whenever the fifty-
thin: chapter of Isaiah was read to him ; and a Spaniard,
emit Ore same period, fell into a syncope when he heard
the word /one (wool) mentiotied, though his coat wits
made of the't substatice.--Liverpoot

SM A, TA,Lic.---Every gentleman, desirous
polarity WWl* the ladies, should have an extensive
knowledge of trifles, mid a ady talent of expressing
himself on stdrjeets of littlree moment. Conversation
in large paqtes, and even in social circles, turns
%nosily upon stieh.topies, and he who cannot discuss
the merits of the b:l4' novel, or display his eLiquence
an the newest fashion 't dress, makes but a sorry Ap-
veareeee pity the mat; that cannot talk nprisense.
