ANECDOTE.


Henry w. Of France being one day on
hunting match, lost his party, and was RI
ding alone. Observing country fellow
standing upon gate, apparently on the
watch, he asked him what he was looking
for. Use come here (says be TO see tue
king Get up behind me (replied the
monarchy and will soon conduct you 10
the place where you may see him. Hodge,
without any scrupIe, mounted: but as they
were riding along he put this sagacious
question to his companion-'They tell me
he has got power Of lords we'un,-bow
may body know which is he?' The king
replied. that he would be able TO distin-
guish him by seeing that all his attendants
took off their hats, while he himself remain
ed covered Soon after they joined the
hunt, when all the circle, as may well be
expected, were greatly surprised to see the
king so oddly attended. When they were
arrived, his majesty turning to the clown,
asked him il he could tell which was the
king Il don't know, answered he) but
faith it must be one Of US, for &c &c 6om
rot cur hats on.

PUNCTUATION.

The contract lately made for lighting the
town of Liverpool during the ensuing year,
has been thrown void by the misplacing OF
a comma in the advertisements, thus 1.-The
lamps are at present about 1850, and have
in general two spouts each, composed Of
not less than twenty threads of cotton. -
The contractor would have proceeded to
furnish each lamp with the said twenty
threads; but this being but half tie usua!
quantity, the commissioners discovered
that the difference arose from the comma
following, instead Of preceding The word
each. The parties agreed 10 annul the con-
tract, and new one is now ordered.

lions, though never SO small, in any way
or in any thing; and they boast of it as a
noble quality in them. But whatever
they may think of it themselves, they, 10
this respect, violate the general law of So
cial commerce, which requires some de-
gree of reciprocity, or mutual exchange
of commodities. One who is III the way
of often receiving from another, little kind
nesses which he is permitted in no wise TO
requite, sinks into dependent; and his
nominal friend is not indeed friend, prop
erly speaking, but patron. The shew
of utter averseness to being obliged in any
case whatsoever, is commonly understood
Alright; it is taken for pride, or contempt,
or GOODNESS, and naturally gives displeas-
ure: whereas TO accept ofiiule obligations
with frankness, and TO be alike willing to
oblige, and to he obliged, is the proper
line of social intercourse.
will only remark further, that the lit
tie daily attentions upon which social
feeling and happiness SO much depend,
ought to be natural or spontaneous, and not
loaded and siiilened with ceremony (: and
that the only way TO make them quite ma
tural or spontaneous, is to have written up
on the heart that first of social laws,
Thou shalt toUc thy neighbour as thyseH
