AMERICAN TOASTS.

At the Centennial Dinner in celebration of the Settlem,nt of Rox-
bury, the following toasts were drank with great enthusiasm :
Proposed by H. A. S. Dearborn, Esq.—" Freedom—having been
graciously received at the French Court, she will speedily demand an
audience of all the Sovereigns of Europe."
By Mr. Thomas Simmons—'• The Tree of Liberty, planted by out
fathers, two hundred years ago—not exclusively adapted to the merniian
of America, but suited to any clime or country where Education has
prepared the soil, and Virtue attends with her pruning hook."
By Mr. Enoch Bartlett—" Political Coopers--Should any one at-
tempt to start the hoops on the National Cask, may he be hung up wind.
bound, as a beacon."
By Wm. B. Dorr, Estp.—" Charles the Tenth's Mistake—who
thought, by extinguishing the Dey in Algiers, he could produce dark.
ness in France Strange that one despot should have so little sympathy
for another"—

He digg'd a pit, he digg'd it deep, he digg'd it for his brother,
But for his sin, be shall fall in, the pit he digg'd for another.
By Joseph Harrington, Esq.--" The Memory of Paul Dudley,
Chief Justice of Maasachussets—Harvard University bears testimony to
his munificence, the country to his patriotism, and even the highways
in the town of Roxbury speak his praise"—
His works in every street we see.
The very stones are mark'd P. D.
By Dr. Fox —"Africa in 1830"
May her sons be enlighttn'd, and happy and free,
And her daughters be blest, as the fair sex should be ;
May virtue and usefulness claim all their care,
And fashion and cornetts be never known there.

" The name of our town (Roxbury)—Blore appropriate now thar
when it was christened; for we have buried its rocks under a treat..
soil."

" Lafayette—The fortunate survivor and active agent of ore,
distinct Revolutions—May the last prove as durable as the tint
(the American); and less bloody, terrific, and fruitless, than the
second."

Sunset and sunrise on the day of the celebration (the Bth of October
last) was ushered in by the discharge of a hundred pieces of cannon
and, previous to the commtnexinent of the festivities, a hymn, written
for the occasion, was sung at the bleeting-house.

GAMBLING AT A CITY FEAST, AND YOUR KIYGS
Fnarrien.—ln 1363 a most sumptuous entertainment was given in
Henry Picard, vintner, wi.o had been Lord Mayor of London in 13.5 i.
to the Kings of England. France, Scotland, and Cyprus,—Edward the
Black Prince, and a long train of Nobility and Gentry. After the
banquet was oncluded, "the said Henry Picard," says Stowe, in hi,
Annals, " kept his hall against all coalmen whosoever that were
willing to play at dice and hazard ; and in like manner the Lady "tlar•
glint, his wife, did al-o keep her chamber to the same intent. Tne
King of Cyprus, playing with Henry Picard, in his hall, did wince of
hint fiftie marks ; but Henry, being very skilful in that ante, altering
his hand, did after winne of the same king the same fiftie marks, and
fifths more ; which, when the same king began to take in ill pan, a:-
though he disguised the same, Henry sayd unto him, My Lord and
King, be not agreeved ; I covet nut your gold, bnt your play ; h,r
have not bid you hither that I might grieve you, but that I In g!.!
Brie your ,play;' and gave him his money againe, plentifully be-
stowing of his oune among the retinue; beside he gave want
rich gifts to the King, anti other Nobles and Knights which dined
with him, to the great glorie of the citizens of London in thew
dayes."

STORY OF A QVACK NOSTRUM.—" In the summer of
tostaLe:r (1820), being on a visit to the country-house of a friend near
I frequently met there an old man, late a farmer, who, though
be had for some time abandoned the plough and the harrow, had neverthe-
less come up to the metropolis in the hope of reaping a golden harvest,
from the sale of a newly-invented snuff, to cure net only weak, but sore
eyes ! The snuff was, as he said, a compound of various herbs, which
his deep knowledge in botany had enabled hint to discover. Phi,
man of science, being diffident of his own orthographical power (le:
modesty generally accompanies merit) requested I would do him ti.,
favour to correct the prospectus, of which the following is a literal copy.
and through which he intended to recommend it to the public Eye
snuff. The most astonishing Remedy Ever found out for the Benefit
of Mankind. H.G.—the Heftiness Leafe to inform the Publicke.
that by a long Expediment and study, he has found,:out a remedy su-
perior to any Ever yet before discoverl. It is Proprieted 'fotely for
the Eyes. It Cures All sorts of sore Eyes, Suckers the Breane, and
Helps the memory. It is drawn up the nose in the same manner as
Common snuff, and the eyes to be beached with cold spring water, and
a Bonen Cloath every malting. By using it six times a day for the
space of one wheek it will strengeth a wheek eye of rather young or old,
and by using it Regulear Three times a day it will take a ;per' of the
Eyes. It is a remarkable strengthener of the Obnoctive nerves, there-
fore there is no doubt but it will Clem and preserve the Eye-sight
, for life.' Whether thus snuff has been found to be an efficacious re-
medy for weak eyes I do not know, but it was, a few months after it was
promulgated, purchased with as much avidity as if it had also been
adapted to weak heads !”—Frons Parke's Musical Memoirs.
