NOT A BAD 111 T.--A gentleman expatiated on the
justice and propriety of an hereditary nobility. "Is it not
right," said he, " in order to hand down to posterity the vir-
tues of those men who have been eminent for their services to
the country, that their posterity should enjoy the honours con-
ferred on them as a reward for such services?" "By the
same rule," said a lady, " if a man is hanged for his misdeeds,
4 his parity should be hanged too."
