PUNs.

Punning Is considered the lowest style Of
wit. and when carried to al extreme, as It Is
very apt 20 be. ii becomes annoying TO every
one but the puostsr- And yet an occasion
al pun, ifa good one, serves to give life and
variety u conversation Sidney Smith says
'-Puns are the wit Of words. They are
exactly the same 10 words that wit Is toIdeas
and consist 10 the sudden discovery Of reld-
tions in language. A pun, to be perfection
in its kind should contain two distinct
meanings, the one. common and obvious,
the other, more remote; and N the notice
which the mind takes OF the relation between
these two sets Of words, and in the surprise
which that relation excltes, the pleasure Of
a nun consists. Miss Hamilton, IN her book
on Education, mentions the instance ct
bov. so very neEIectful that he never could
be brought TO read the word pGtr5zrcbs but
whenever he met with Ii. he pronounced It
BartyidgeS A friend Of the writer observed
10 her thatit could hardly be considered
mere piece Of negligence, for 1t appeared to
him that the COY, 10 calling them partTldg-
es. was making 0qDle Of the patriarchs.
Now. here are two distinct meanings con-
tained in the phrase. for to make game Of
the patriarchs Is to laugh at them; or to
make game OF them is, By very extTaFa-
CANT and laughabie sort Of ignorance or
words, to rank them among Bheasants, par
ridges and other such deiicscies, which the
law takes under protection and calls game;
and the whole pleasure derived from this
pun consists in the sudden discovery that
two such different meanings are reteFable to
one form Of expression. l have very lIttie
O say about puns they are in very bad re-
pute, and so they ought 20 be. The Wit oi
iangnare i so niserably inferior to the wit
ofideas. that it is very deservedly driven
out Of good company. Sometimes, indeed
a pun makes its appearances, which seems,
for moment, to redeem its Species bat We
must not be deceived BY them; it Is a radle-
ally bad race of wit. By unremittIng per-
seeution it has been at tast got under, aud
driven into cloisters-fr0m which It must
never again be suffered to emerge into the
light OF the world.
