pARTY SPIRIT.

The following, from the Spectator, very
prettily illustrates the difficulties which,
in times when party spirit runs high, be-
set man who wishes to avoid giving Of
fence TO the conflicting partizans.
My worthy friend, Sir Roger, when We
are talking Of the malice OF parties, very
frequently tells Of an accident that hap
|pened TO him when he was schoo. boy,
which was at the time when the feuds ran
high between the Roundheads and the
Cavaliers. This knight being then but
a STRIPPING, had occasion to inquire which
was the way TO ST. Aune's Lane; upon
which the person whom he spoke to, in
stead of answering his question, called
him young popish cur, and asked him
who made Anne saint? The boy being
in some confusion, inquired of the next
the way to Anne's Lane but was called
a prick-eared cur for bis pains, and instead
of being shown the way, was told that
she had been a saint before be was born.
and would be one after be was hanged.
Upon this, says Sir Roger, did not
think fit TO repeat The former question,
bat going into every lane in the neighbour
hood, asked what they called the name Of
that lane, by which ingenious artifice he
found out the place he inquired for, with.
out giving offence to any party.
