put down the dishes before tic guests,

exciting the vanity Of the guests, aud
inducing them to ask for expensive
things, that perhaps they would willingly

head waiter of the hotel comes to tho
door. and commences kind Of song of
which the subject is the nomenclature Of
dishes and the burden the sum total of

critical and solemn moment-those who
have dined economically, depart with an

the notes of the company, while the

he found himself the master, and far be-

point, their mcrdians meet, appeared to
be their destined mistress He formed

tention cf the Creation into fact bv
successive conqucsts, to give the people
the possession of three worlds, and by the
opening Of rivers; canals and caravans,
to form the remotest regions into sin

well chosen, although for the purpose Of
ordinary life nothing could well be worse.
