The Quarterly Review,. just p
üblished,; contains in
an article on the Architectural Improvements in Lon-
don, the following new version of an' epigram which
was written when Regent-street began to assume its
present appearance .
Augustus at itoithr was for building renown'd,
And of marble he left what of brick he had found;
.But is not our Nash too, a very great master,
lie finds us all brick, and he leaves us all plaster.

On the occasion of a celebrated mutiny a spectator
asked an Irish soldier near him, why the regiment re-
fused to shoulder arms when the Colonel was calling on
them to do so " You must know,"said Paddy," that
the Colonel and the rigiment are not on spaking
terms."

During the American War, an Ensign, who had
just joined a distinguished corps, found himself very
soon placed under a heavy cannonade, and on
hearing a shot pass near his head, with rather a &ut-
tering voice asked an old serjeaut (though having strong
suspicions on the subject) what that was ? '" Please your
Honour," said the erect and imperturbable veteran,
" It is only the innimy's cannon. bat"
Hiran,ANn CONSOLATION.—A poor old woman
was lying on her death-bed, surrounded by a number
of her relations and neighbours, each requesting her
to partalie of their own favourite specific, all of which,
however, ahe declined, till her nephew, Donald, asked
if she would " tak a tune o' the pipe." " Oigh aye,"
said the dying woman, perhaps to get rid of their iin-
portunities. Donald accordingly blew up one of the
most spirit-stirring of .his tunes, %hen the company,
forgetting the invalid, began to foot it away on the
light fantastic toe. The poor old creature in bed for
a thrte forgot her ills, and stretching her foot from
under the clothes, continued shaking it during the
dance, exclaiming, " Oigh, but she's to Mind."
