SCINTILLA!.

LA FAcON FAIT TouT.--Travelling by coach a short
time since, with only a single inside passenger, one whose appearance,
dress, and manners all bespoke the gentleman—the following remark,
bearing on the conversation at the time, will be found whimsical, at
least, if no: quite original :—" I bad sooner," said he, "take a jig
under my arm through Burlington Arcade than carry a child." With-
out stopping to give the subject a grave consideratton, which might,
perhaps be difficult to do, 1 am more than half inclined to think the
stranger right. But to the matter—Pride most commonly has its rise
In ignorance, which is partly admitted by the fact, that where preten.
Mons are the highest, It Is Men the least observable. Let us now try
the other tack, and see how it bears upon the point in question. In
Sicily the Pedas de place fancy themselves degraded If seen carrying a
parcel through the public streets. Canes are in universal use amongst
them. Not very long ago an Englishman, attended by one of then
gentry, bad stopped to make a purchase of a bundle of dried herrings
(in outgo redh and after paying for the lot, desired his man to arty
them home. The obsequious lackey made no hesitation, havingfir,t
undone the wrapper, which was forthwith committed to the winds.
Then, very deliberately running the point of his cane through the Os
of all the fish, and with his MIA fully stretched out, he followed his
master with great self-complacency to the hotel. Thus, Thrhaps, was
a character snatched from everlasting infamy by a manner as aimpL :n
the contrivance, as it was truly original in the idea.

A Nzw. GUARDSMAN.—I rise with the sun ; that is,
when Dan Sol has pranked himself, and is well risen, I get up. How
lovely then to look upon a scene so fresh to fiord, instead of watching
him through dark and misty mornings such as these, in cold antietim-
don of his coming. Besides, it does no goi:d ; he neither speeds the
faster, nor will your kettle, ladles, bubble sooner for the watching. 'To;
a sheer loss of time, believe me, this said cock-crow rising, end itrur.-
feats a grievous want of common patience. A truly Christian tiinue
this, such as you should encourage to the utmost, and lie still.

Phatbushas cut and slashed it up the firmament" quite to its full men-
than; and 1 am just in time to take the ball at hop, by turning cut (as
is my wont) at 12. Be ye then, gentle friends, advised—and take y,..1r
rest—for Captain Swing Is on the watch, and if it's dark, he'll not to:•
