VULGAR ENGLISH ERRoRs.-The English peo-
ple-anG not the most ignorant of them-enter-
tain many errors. in which they place as much
reliance as we'll established precedents of law
Of many absurd conceptions, we present the
following examples:
That leases are made for 999 years, because
a lease for thousand years would create free
hold.
That in order to disinherit an heir at law it
is necessary to give him shilling by the will,
for that otherwise he would be entitled to the
whole property.
That the body Of debtor may be taken in
execution after his death.
That man marrying a woman who is in debt,
if he take her from the hands of the priest cloth
ed only in her shift, will not be liable for her
engagements.
That persons who are born at sea belong to
Stepney parish.
That second cousins may not marry, though
first cousins may.
That husband has the power of divorcing
his wife by selling her in the open market, with
halter round her neck, first taking her through
toll-bar.
That a woman marrying man under the gal
lows will save him from being executed
That if a criminal has been hanged and re-
wives. he cannot afterward be executed.
That the owners of asses are obliged to crop
their ears, lest the length of them should fright
en- the horses.

g With cautious step, as we tread our way through
This inherate world as other folks do,
May still on our journey be able to view
The benevolent face of a dollar or two
For excellent thing is dollar two;
No friend is so true as a dollar or two
Through country and town, pass up and down,
No passport good as dollar or two"

Woke feelings of delight,
But ask not to sing it now,
cannot sing tonight.
Ye wonder that am so sad
When all around gay;
cannot help these gloomy thoughts,
My home is far away"

saw one leaf upon tree remaining
Which by feeble trembling tenure hung;
The cold chill winds of winter were complaining,
And heaps of dead leaves wet with constant raining
Were here and there in ftful eddies flung.
Still, in the piercing blast, this lone eafquvered
As though each gust would force it from its hold;
Or as it dying were, and feeby shivered
Ere to the dull cold grasp of earth delivered,
And with its dead and rotting brethren rolled.
From the bleak North fercer blast sweeping,
And from its tottering hold the leaf was hurled
Down to the ground; the bitter rain seemed weeping
In its sad icy tears the dead leaves STEPPING
While the rushing wind they madly whirled.
And then it seemed the only hope had parted,
While desolation did supremely reign;
Twas like the last trust of the broken hearted;
Yet was consolation then impaired
For, as my heart was thus sadly viewing
The dying leaf, and seeing but its tomb,
thought upon the coming Spring, renewing
All that seemed desolate and for dead leaves strewng
The laughing Earth with flowers of gayest bloom.
IT'S thus we should forever look at SORROW
But a casting dead leaves away
To give place to a brighter bloom to morrow;
And from the fresh ming face of Nature borrow
All joyous emblems-a perpetual May.

An attendant whispered that he could not go
to court as painter; but he had formerly
been lieutenant in the French army, he might
be presented as an officer.
The duke made the proposition to Guidon
The painter, drawing himself up to his full
height, replied proudly in the hearing of all ::
"The King of France made me lieutenant
God made me painter. / will go to court as
a painter, or not at ALL
