Dr.
to officiate lately at the Foundling Hospital, in the evening,
dinner was scarcely over, when he said to a friend who was
on a visit at his house, " Come J— and hear me at
the Foundling." " Thank ye Doctor, but I can take a nap
very well where I am."—Popular Annals.
AN EARLY PUFFER.--Sir WALTER RA-
Ltron was one of the earliest as well as one of the most
eminent puffers of the English school. Serjeant KITE,
though a portly gentleman and six feet high to boot, and
therefore, as he said, born to be a great man, was no-
thing to him. Even the renowned CACIQUE of Poyais,
famous as a pretty hand at outlandish description, sinks
in comparison with the adventurer of El Dorado, as the
reader shall immediately see: When Sir WALTER was
beating up for recruits for his second expedition to South
America, he thus unfolds his golden enticements :—" The
common soldier shall here fight for gold, and pay him-
self, instead of pence, with plates of half a foot broad,
whereas he breaks his bones in other wars for provant and
penury. Those commanders and chieftains that shoot at
honour and abundance, shall find here more rich
and beautiful cities, more temples adorned with gol-
den images, more sepulchres filled with treasure,
than either CORTE.% found in Mexico or PIZARRO in
Peru."—The gudgeons as usual snapped at the golden bait,
and this earliest of South Atuerican schemes succeeded no
better than those which have followed in later days.—
RALEIGH, however, though an adventnrer and a puffer,
was really a man of courage and ability. After his con-
demnation, he gave Gon thanks that "he had never fear-
ed death, and much less then; for it was but an opinion
and an imagination ; and the manner of death, though to
others it might seem grievous, yet he had rather die so
than of a burning fever."—We cannot mention RALEIGH,
however, without calling to mind his noble conduct at his
execution. When on the scaffold, he asked for the axe,
and, feeling 'the edge, observed with a smile that it was a
sharp medicine, but a physician for all diseases. He then
laid his head on the block and gave the signal; but the
slowness of the executioner provoked him to exclaim,
" Why dose thou not strike? Strike, man !" At the se-
cond blow his head was severed from his body.—Edin-
burgh Evening Courant. •
