In the mean time a strag donky wandered into the brewhouse,
and, being rather " dry," took the opportunity of taking,
" a swig" at the „cooling liquor;" and as he had signed no
teetotal pledge, and found no fault with the quality or strength
of the alcholic beverage, took the liberty of helping himself
to another " drain ;" but, like many of those above him in
the rank of creation, he could not be content with quantum
stiff., so he again drank deep, then " deeper still,' and at
length went " the whole hog ' for the remainder by " finish-
ing it off." Having thus seen the last of it, he began to feel
that he had taken more than he could carry, so he somewhat
suddenly dropped to sleep, forgetful of all terrestrial troubles.
The woman, having had her "say " with her neighbour, be-
thought her 'of the cooling liquor, and returned to the brew-
house. The sight of the " sleeping beauty " not a little star-

her " customer" could positively say ; but she supposed the
animal was the " cooler for her liquor.—Halifax Guardian.
THE TRUE POLICY.—The following very excellent obser-
vations made by Mr. Sergeant Atcherley, in addressing the
Dorset Grand Jury, at the recent assizes, we commend to
the attention of landlords, masters, and all whom they may
concern, as being conceived in a fine spirit of philanthropy,
and the application of which to practical lifo.would seem to
be, in the present state of things, more than ever necessary.
In looking over the calendar (he observed) it was impossible,
from the large number of minor offences, not to think that
many of these might have arisen from distress ; and, to
gentlemen of their station and education, he need hardly
remark that it was the truest policy to provide for the wants
of the lower classes. If thsy they wished the labourer to be
happy and contented in his station, they must find him the
means of obtaining an honest livelihood, not binding him
down to a harsh contract, but affording him fair remunera-
tion for his work; if they wished him to be peaceable and
orderly. and to respect the laws, they must, by kind atten-
tion to his interests, convince him that those above him
were not his tyrants and oppressors, but his best friends; if
they wish him to be honest happy, and virtuous, they must
hold oat to him the means of acquiring useful knowledge,
but above all religious knowledge. It was by thus binding
the different classes of society that they would best secure
public peace and tranquility, and bring about a diminution
of crime—that they would preserve the social compact from
disrUption through the subtlety. of the evil, in a way in
which no punishment or terror could effect. And, above all,
by so acting they would best administer to that truest of all
pleasures, the gratification of seeking to do good, and of
promoting their own happiness by seeking as far as they
could to advance the happiness of their fellow men.
SITE or ST. PAUL'S, LONDON.—It is more than proba-
ble, that in that place where St. Paul's Church now stands
there was a wood or grove at first, in regard there was a lane
or temple erected there to the honour of Diana; for historians
observe, that whereas Venus, Mars, and Vulcan, were used
to have their temples in the suburbs, Jupiter and Apollo
within the city, the goddess Diana was used to have her tern-
