The following anecdote of Mr.. Corwin, has
little too good to be lost.
The Hon. Thos. Corwin, (whose complexion,
as is well known, is none of the fairest,) being
in New York, was introduced to an English
gentleman of some celebrity, who bad lately
crossed the big, salt pond to see the American
elephant on his native sod. Mr.. Corwin was in
troduced as being an 0hioan; this term evident
ly misled John Bull, who looked for a moment
good deal puzzled however his face suddenly
frightened, and seizing the hand of Mr.. Corwin,
he expressed his happiness at making his ac
quaintance then kindly inquired whether 8 his
tribe we're the at peace ,cuh the phites!" An
explanation and merriment speedily fol-
lowed.
In ancient pictures and ballads, medical doc
tors are many times represented as having their
canes to their noses; and some have thought
this to be embematic of We length of their
bills but We truth in ye matter is that
aneiently doctors carried canes the whycl'e
were hollowe at the top and pierced wythe di-
vers lyttle holes. and contayned subtle powder
of great virtue the odor of whGehe was thought
soverein against such diseases as be considered
infectious. Thus in We followinge described
whyche was WITHOUT doubte a melancholic case,
we see We doctor has recourse to hys preventive
powder:
Ye doctor came and smelte hys cane,
Then shook his head and smete again"
MANS love. the manner and periods thereof
we may note as followeth: III hys childish dayes
hys hearte waxeth warm a lyttle toward sonic
pert lyttle naxen haired lass wythe a new bib
and clean face to whome hee showeth hys new
jaek-knifes and sore toes, and wythe whome hee
shareth whatever of sweetmeats bee hath got
ten-thys love hath, by some, been lykened to
ye love of puppies.
Att fifteen We fountain of hys hearte bubbeth
upp wythe hys first adult love toward the other
sex hee concerneth hime aboute We cleanliness
of hys face that hys haire be well coined and
lay smoothe. and in We muche abundance of
hys love hasteneth to fnde an object on whyche
to lavish We same. Hee is in no wise fastidious,
We tendryls of hys love reach QUITE and grapplc
whatever is nearest, and hee becometh so seri-
ously inn love wythe some spinster of sufficient
age to have given hime sacke, as to go near to
to hang himselfe-this is love for We sex.
Att twenty hee hath an exceedinge great re-
garde for the haires of hys chinn. and truly hee
lavisheth on hys love muche of affection and of
pomatums. suche as be reckoned goode-this
may be entitled kinde of paternal love for
budding nature.
Att five and twenty. hee hath hys true and
genuine love, whyche is the love of a man for
womann fit to be his wyfe.
Attn and thirty, hce becometh mnche en-
amored of ye shape of We leggs, We lyttleness
of hys foote. We neatnesse of hys bootes, and ye
orderinge of hys necke-eoth: Moreover. hee
deyghteth to exalt hys head and dystend hys
bosom, to show off hys goodly person and parts
before women, thinking thereby to be tantalized
this is self-love.
Att forty and FIVE hee coneieveth an unbound
ed love for hys countrie and desircth vehement
ly to undergo somewhat for her sake as the
perils of Office. We of state, or the lyke
martyrdom. Once he hath gotten in place hee
hath no more at all any love for other thynges,
hut pineth and sickneth continually after hys
adored nay lit hath been seen that hys love
doth many times outlive hys honesty.
