and heared ,-Impudence is only indigenous IN Mile,
STA, and an orator is not made in day Discouraged
by his reception, Mr.. Ferdinand fltZroy grew Httle
embarrassed.

Fairly broke down! said another.
TOO fond of his hair have any thing IN his head
said third who was considered a wit.

benches.
Mr. Ferdinand Fitzroy sat down; he had not shone,
bat in Justice, he had not failed. Many hrst-rate
speaker had begun worse; and many county mem
Der had been declared phoenix OF promise upon nan
his merit.
Not SO thought the heroes of the corn laws.
Your Adonises never make orators! SAID crack
speaker with wry nose.
Nor men of business either added the chairman

We have nothing to leave you, said the parents,
who Rad long spent their fortune, and now lived on
the credit of having once enjoyed it. You are the
handsomest man in London; and you must marry an

perpetually jealous, said fifth. Spend your for
| tune said sixth. And break your heart SAID
| seventh.
| Miss Helen Convolvulus was prudent and wary
Shesaw great deal of Justice in what said and
sufficiently conented with liberty and six thousand
year, not to be highly impatient for husband; but
our heroine had no aversion TO 10 fer; especially 10
| SO handsome a lover Mr.. Ferdinand Fizroy Ac-
cordIngy she neither accepted nor discarded nun
bat kept him hope, and suffered hiEa to get INTO
debt with his tailor, and coach maker on the strength
| of becoming Mr.. Fitzroy Convovulus. Time went
on and excuses and delays were easily found how
ever, our hero sangune and so were his parents
breakfast Chiswick and putrld fever carried of
the latter, within one week of each other; but not I'LL
they had blessed Mr. Ferdsand Fitzroy, and rejoiced
that they had left him SO well provided for.
Now then our hero depended solely upon the crab
bed cid uncle and Miss Helen Convovulus-the for
mer though baroaet and satlrs, was bankerand

Debtors grew pressing 10 DIR. Ferdinand Ftzroy,
and Mr. Ferdinand Fltzroy grew pressing to Miss

"A thousand DEVILS said Mr.. Ferdinand Fitzroy,
banging out of the ROOM. He flew TO his mistress.
She was not at home. Lies says the Italian pro-
