Smiles, Grotesque and ComicaI,

A grotesquo simile is sometimes
very expressive. We may mention
those of Daniel Webster, who likened
the word "would," in Ruias Choato's
handwriting,to a small gridiron struck
by lightning; of q sailor who lkened
n gentleman whose face was covered
with whiskers up TO his very eyes, to

weather item on u cold day, said that
the suns rays in the effort to thaw tho
ice were as futile rs tho dull reflex Of
a painted yellow dog OF conductor,
who, in a discussion as TO speed, ssid
the last time he ran his engine from
Syracuse, tho telegraph poles on tho
side of the road looked like ino.
tooth comb. Smiles Of like char
acter are often heard among the CON-
mon people, and are supposed TO DO
the peculiar property of Western or
ators. Instances AS sharp as tho
little end of nothing; big as all out
doors; 1t strikes me like q thousand
bricks; slick as grease, or CREASED
lightning; melancholy as II quaker
meeting by moonlight; fiat as a aoun-
der; quick as wink not enough to

not clothes enough to wad gun as
limp and timber as an India.rubber

Goldfish of grdiron altcr you like .

porpoise in pond of red hot grease
enthusiasm boiled over like bottle of
