Welcome was he in hut and hail. -
70 maids and marOns, pears and pessents
lie won the sympathies of all,
by making puns and making presants.
Though all the parish was at srife,
He KEPT his counsel and his carriage,
And laughed, and loved quiet life,
And shrank from Chancery suits and Mar
riage.
Sound was bis claret and his head, ..a
Warm was his double ale and feelings
His partners at the whist club said a
That he was faultless in his dealings.
He went to church but once week
Yet DR.. Poundtext always found him
An upright man, who studied Greek,
And liked to see his friends around him.

An who subscrib, d to them were fools,
And he subscribed to half dozen.
TWAS his doctrine that the poor
Were always able, never willing,
And SO the beggar at the door
Had first abuse, and then a shilling.
Seine public principles he had,
But was no fiatterer nor fretter;
He raped his box when things were bad,
And said, Il cannot make them better, +"
And much he loathed the patriots snow
And much be escorned the placeman's SNUFF

And cut the fercest quarreIs short,
With Patience, gentleman, and shuttle. "
For full ten years his pointer, Speed,
Had crouched beneath his masters table,
Fer twice ten years his old white steed
Had fattened ir his masters stable.
Old Quice averred upon his oath,
They were the ugliest beasts in Devon;
And none knew why he fed them both,
Why his own hands. six days in seven.
Whene'er he heard his ring or knock, '
Quicker than thought the village slatterns
Flung down the novel; smoothed the irock,
And took up Mrs. Clesse and patterns.
Adele was studying bakers bliss.
Louisa looked the queen ofknitters.

Wit of a German Lawyer.


There are many stratagems IN war, and
as many it may well be said in love or
law.
A young man of Nuremburg, who had
no fortune, requested lawyer, a friend
of his, to recommend him to a family
where he was daily visitor, and where
was handsome daughter. who was to
have large fortune. The lawyer agreed,
but the father of the lady, who loved mon
ey, Immediately asked what property the
young man had The lawyer said he
did not know, but he would inquire
The next time he saw his friend he asked
him if he had any property at all.
No, replied he.
WELL said the lawyer, would you
suffer any one to cut off your nose, ii he
would give you twenty thousand dollars e
Not for the words
ss'Tis WE'LL replied the lawyer, Il had
reasons for asking.'
The next time he saw the girls father,
he said, i have inquired about this young
mans circumstances. He has indeed no
ready money, but he has jewel, which
to my knowledge he has been offered and
refused twenty thousand dollars 2
This induced the old father to consent
to the marriage, which accordingly took
place though it is said in the sequel,
that he often shook his head when he
thought of the jewel!
