sWlft's Hatred of FopperY.

Dean Swift was great enemy to eXtrava-
gance IN dress, and particularly to tnat distinc-
ton and ostentation in the middling classes,
which led them to make an appearance above
their condition in life. Of his mode of reprov-
ing this folly in those persons for whom he had
an esteem, the following instance has been re-
corded:
When George Faulkner, the printer, return
ed from London, where he had been soliciting
su scrptions for his edition of the Deans
works, he went to pay his respects to him,
dressed in lace waistcoat, bagged wig and
other iopperIes. Swift received him with the
same ceremonies as if he had been a stranger.
"And pray sir" said he ''what are your COM
mands with me?
II thought it was my duty, sir" replied
George, ito wait on you Immediately on my
arrival from London"
pray, sir who are you?'
George Faulkner the printer! sir'
You George Faulkner, the printer! Why
you are the most impudent, baretaced scOun-
drel of an imposter | have ever met with
George Fauikaer is PLAIN, sober citizen, and
would never trick himself VI IN lace and other
topperies. Get you gone, you rascal, or
wilt Immediately send you to the house OF cor
rection.
Away went George as fast as he could, and
having changed his dress he returned to the
delnery, where he was received with the
greatest cordiaIity "My friend George" says
! he Dean, Il am glad to see you returned safe
from London. Why, there has been an i'm
pudent fellow with me just now, dressed in a
lace jacket, and he would lain pass himself of
for you, but l soon sent him away with flea

his sleeves turned up to the shoulder: an apron

dress. Mr. W., asked his neighbor who and
what was the strange looking occupant of the
dashing carriage. THE richest bucher in Lon
dom was the reply. 'He is returning in his
own carriage from the slaughter house to his
residence. His foreathers were in the same
business; his father left him fortune of more
than two millions, and he, out of modesty,
follows his profession-a very honorable old
custom. This gentlemen butcher possesses
four million.'8

No party founded on religious or political
intolerance towards one class Of American

bigotry would create odious distinctions
