Sobriety.-The sober moments which
Immediately succeed to dinner, are the mos,
miserable in existence. The langor, the

come comfortable. In this state you are
not much disposed to talk. There is a
tranquil luxury in your feelings, aud rev.
erie comes on, which, if you drink no more,

you begin to grow giddy. Gestures very
vehement, and epilhets much exaggerated.
Argumeniative, hut not rational. Words
considerably abridged, aud ideas laInentably
