a muse jumped nut, and began funning about the
hall, and attracted the attention of all. TO escape
from his pursuers he took refuge at the fee of owe(

Of what are called in England the." luxuries 'l. 'he
East," I cannot give a very exalted desaripfon. All
the fruits now in season are inferior toil.o.e cf. Sap
land: the oranges. though pleasant, are mai and
acid; the plantain is but an indifferent nirl:ow
peat ; the 'haddock his no merit but a jniciness and
a slight biter taste, which is reckoned good in ferns;
and the guava is au almost equal mixture of raipber/
jam and parlic. Nor are our attificial lusnr.ea more
remarkable than our natural; they ate in fact only in.
editions (judicious and elegant), to get rid of seers"
real inconveniesicies; while all those citcumatarices ii
which an Englishman mainly places his ideas cf cos"
fort or splendour' such as horses, carriages, glass, lc"
niture, &c. ate in Calcutta generally paltry, and our
valiantly dear. In fact, as my shipmate, Cnlonel Per
nington, truly told me, " the real luxuries of Ilis!iss
when we can get them, are cold water and cold air.
