Births.— Persons should cause their children to be registered within forty-two days after birth, by giving personal notice to the registrar of tbeir district, 1 cithout any fee whatever. Registration may be effected after the expiration of the lorty-two days, and withiD six months, on payment of a fee of 7«- 6J.; but after six months, no birth can be registered. Deaths.— Intimation should be given of deaths in the same manner as births. This is of importance to be done earl}*, as the undertaker must have a certificate to give to the minister who reads the funeral service, without which he may refuse to bury the body. As the cause of death is to be entered, sound discretion should be exercised in ascer¬ taining the real nature of the deceased’s death, for which important purpose every facility should be given.

The error in the Prayer Book arises from a mistake in the wording of the Act of Parliament (the 24 G. II., c. 23), under which the reformed, or Gregorian, Calendar was introduced into England, and the New Style adopted, in the year 1751. The same occurrence took place in 1818, when it was proposed to pass a new act, which should give a correct explanation of the rules adopted by the old one, but nothing has since been effected to rectify the blunder.

JJAVING arrived in London, drive immediately to the Cla¬ rendon—to Mivart's—to the Thatched House—the London Tavern—or the Crown and Anchor, as you may fancy the locality. If you have but little money to spend, it is most essential that you choose one of these hostelries, upon the golden maxim of all travellers, that the best inn is always the cheapest. Give the coach or cabman whatever he may ask. He will doubtless, know you to be a stranger, and that knowledge will operate upon what he conceives to be the best feelings of his nature. If stopped in the street, and asked by a stranger in a sweet, low, confidential voice—“ Vether you’d like some nice cigars’ some rale Avannalis. J immediately (that is supposing you to be a smoker) answer “ Yes and follow the civil creature into any court or alley he may lead you. These people sell the best article; and for this reason—they are not crushed by that shameful burden upon native industry—rent and taxes. If you like a bouquet in your button-hole, go into the inclosure of Saint James's Park. There, flowers are cultivated by the Government expressly for the people. Should you also 142 the stranger's guide to the great METROPOLIS. like a cutting of any of the shrubs to take home with you_to plant as a souvenir of your visit—you have only to provide yourself with a good knife, and cut accordingly, 'if you walk in the Park it is also thought etiquette in strangers to ? cut their names m at least one of the sentry-boxes.

When you have drunk the beer, drop the bottle to the sentinel below. It is a trifling perquisite that the poor man always looks for. Also, when you visit the pit of the Opera, take your own porter and sandwiches—for such articles sold there are not fit for any decent person. Mem.: it is allowed to uncork only between tlie acts. J We feel that many other directions might be profitably given to the Stranger in London ; but we also feel that if he punc¬ tually follow the few we have here laid down for him, he will never, until the latest day of his life, forget his visit to the Great Metropolis. I HAVE SAILED UPON THE OCEAN. WORDS BY JONES. MUSIC BY SMITH. I have sailed upon the ocean, I have been upon the sea; I have felt the vessel’s motion While the wind was on her lee. I have been where iron paddles Have borne ns o’er tire wave, I have shaken friendly daddies With the good, the bold, the brave ! T have seen the gallant seaman, With his jacket all of blue; I have seen the sunset gleamin’ On the wave with roseate hue: I have watch'd the day grow fairer, As from clouds the sky grew free ; But believe me, dearest Sarah, I always thought of thee ! A day's JOURNEY THROUGH LONDON. Yes ! ocean, sea, and ship too,— AVind, paddles, waves, and friends, Whom friendship loves to skip to, While its hand it still extends. The seaman in his jacket, The sunset on the tide, Give rapture—yet I lack it If you 're not at my side. The day, the clouds, and all, love, The sky when getting clear, Give pleasure very small, love, If thou shouldst not be near. 1 've sail'd upon the ocean ! I've been upon the sea; Ri-fol-lol, (what a notion !) Fol-lol-de-diddle-dee ! A DAY’S JOURNEY THROUGH LONDON IN SEARCH OF A POLICEMAN. I had heard a great deal about policemen,—of their extreme civility; their large whiskers; their extensive boots; their great utility and military deportment; but I never recollected to have seen one. Thinking it but right that every English¬ man should see the sights of his country, I rose one' fine morning with the determination of exploring my native town, in search of a being whose existence had always seemed to me no less apocryphal than that of the phoenix or dodo. My dear wife did her utmost to dissuade me from the fruitless expedi¬ tion, but, seeing I was determined to succeed, or else sink in the effort, she kindly gave me my umbrella, a pair of sand¬ wiches, and a strong injunction to be home by tea. To these she further added a half-crown and the latch-key. At that touching proof of matrimonial confidence the tears nearly came into my eyes; but I thought it better to conceal my emotion, though, I must say, my heart misgave me a little as she closed A day's JOURNEY THROUGH LONDON. 145 the door. A mixed feeling of ridicule and fear came over me and 1 strongly wished myself within again. However, I started on my journey, vigorously prepared for the worst I had not walked about for more than three hours when loud sounds of, “P’lice! Piice!” fell on my affrighted ears. I ran like a madman to the spot—thinking 1 had already succeeded in the object of my journey—and saw a large crowd assembled at the end of Field Lane. ‘ It was as usual, a man and his wife quarrelling. I could not help feeling for the poor husband, and wishing that a policeman would come every minute to take the unnatural woman into custody; but not a single member of that mysterious corps answered to his name. .Nothing dispirited, I wandered to the city. I threaded my way through cabs, bulls, coaches, flocks of sheep, and omni¬ busses, as far as the Mansion House. I had heard of the great order kept by the police amongst the Cheapside omuibusses- but this stoiy, like the force itself, I found all a fiction.’ three o clock had arrived, and yet I had not seen anythin* with large whiskers and boots that answered at all to the description of a policeman. I was much pleased with discovering on a parish engine- house the following inscription: “ The keys are kept by the police. My hopes rose immediately on reading this; but alas! as I read on, I found there was no address of the keeper given, and I felt, with a cold shudder, that the whole parish would to a certainty be burnt to the ground if the extinction of the flames depended on the previous finding of a policeman. I was preparing to release my sandwiches, as I felt very hungry, when a stupid shopboy, who was reading a novel, ran violently against me and knocked the parcel I was unpaperin* into the gutter. I involuntarily cried “police,” but the word died away before I got to the second syllable, as it struck me forcibly it was the very thing I had come out in search of. I carried myself into a pastrycook’s, and was preparing to demolish a Bath bun, when I thought I would first make sure I had my money safe about me. I tried first one pocket, then ; another, when, in my despair, I recollected I had tied the half- crown for safety in the corner of my handkerchief; but, alas ' 146 A day’s JOURNEY THROUGH LONDON. that article had gone too. It must have left me in Field Lane. I thought I should have dropt under the effects of my strong disap¬ pointment and appetite. I confess the horrible thought then came into my mind to eat the Bath bun, and to let the young lady find the policeman, if she could, to take me into custody. By that means alone I fancied I could succeed in my Utopian search. After this the feeling of romantic adventure gradually left me. I became sensible there were mysteries in human nature never intended for presumptuous man to penetrate—and I grew convinced that a policeman was one of them. I had intended visiting the different police offices in London, and making a pilgrimage to Scotland Yard, in the hope of seeing, in my lifetime, one of the species, before it became extinct; hut I thought it would be braving my destiny too rashly. I had lost enough already, besides I was very hungry, and was anxious to obey my dear wife’s injunction to be home by tea. I jumped into a cab, reckless of the expense, and reached Pentonville as the clock was striking eight, I was looking out of the win¬ dow of the vehicle, when I observed a man sneaking up the area steps of our very house. A chill—a horrible presenti¬ ment came over me. I instantly jumped out, and collared him. My wife heard the cab stop—she came running to the door. I asked her, without betraying more fear than I could help, who was the fellow whom I was holding by the collar, and oh ! never shall I forget the sensation, when she told me he was a- Reader, in all humility, I confess I had not the slightest fecl- ing of triumph when I learnt I had succeeded in the object of my journey through London, and had actually, at last, found out—a Policeman ! ******* Moral. Keep a pretty “ plain cook,” and a well-stocked larder, and you never need go far from home in search of a Policeman. 147 FATIMA'S LAMENT. I feel this wayward frame of mine Expand from day to day, Oh that these tears of bitter brine Could wash its bulk away ! They tell me I am getting plump; I know it. I am Fat. Horror! I’d rather have a hump, Or any thing, than that. The vulgar mind can never know The pain of getting stout, And having, every month or so, Its dresses all let out. The spirit with refinement graced, Is that which feels, alone, What anguish ’tis to call a waist A size too large to own ! Vain is the corset; worse than vain The slender Paris shoe; Redundance rendering hut more plain They squeeze, hut don’t subdue; Unwisely is the cincture tight Round yielding fullness tied ; Such aids but aggravate the fright Which they were meant to hide. Oh ! how have I deserved to be The figure that I am ? I live on little else than tea, ^ hilst happier maidens cram ; I m quizz’d by all,—my Henry, too, t Views me with alter’d eye; Unhappy me ! what can I do But go up-stairs and cry? 148 GEMS OF FASHIONABLE PHILOSOPHY. The man who would be helped a second time to soup is a savage. Raleigh may have been a great man, but he must have had a vulgar mind, or he would never have introduced tobacco and potatoes into his native land. He that can eat with a steel fork is a cannibal, but he that can put a knife to his mouth is a madman who might become a suicide. He that would attempt to enter the stalls at Drury Lane Theatre (since the new regulations as to costume) in a frock coat, is a scoundrel; but he that would pin back the skirts, to deceive the door-keeper, is a poltroon and a hypocrite. The feelings of youth can never he perfectly restored. Their freshness once gone is gone for ever. Like the kid glove—which may be cleaned again and again, but will never be equal to new% whatever a selfish world may allege to the contrary. REFLECTIONS ON A FANCY BALL. It was once said by a sage, who has since been swamped in the busy sea of life, “ that the man who goes to a fancy ball should either be a philosopher or a foolso that, if the dogma held good, Newton might have spent half his life in the Lowther-rooms, where from the dullness of the proceeding the centre of gravity might possibly have suggested itself. Bacon might perhaps have been out of his element at “the only masked ball of the season; ” while the very idea of Paley pur¬ chasing a character-ticket and donning a domino is repugnant to all our finest feelings. AVho can picture Doctor Johnson in the garb of a Greek, with his short white petticoat and crimson fly—his little round red cap covering the summit of that in¬ tellectual head—and his yataghan getting between the legs of one who marched far in advance of his own contemporaries ? Or, to go still further back, who can fancy Cincinnatus, that )48 GEMS The p- savage.

Yet such would he the curious conglomeration that would be arrived at if the theory of the sage — the gentleman whom we alluded to as having been swamped in the busy sea of life—were to he literally earned into practice. Determined to meet the views of the sage, if I possibly could, I resolved on going to the last fancy hall, either as a fool or as a philosopher; but having read the proceedings of the British Association for the advancement of science, it struck me that the two characters—I mean, of course, the philosopher and the fool—could very easily be united. I, therefore, purchased a clown’s dress, and wrapping myself up in the mental Taglioni of philosophy, I sallied forth to the last masquerade of the season, determined to think for myself, and thus assert the dignity of British cogitation. I regret to acknowledge that philosophy deserted me, and 1 commenced playing the fool with some energy. I shall, how¬ ever, pass over the ball itself, and state in a few words what became of some of the principal characters. Macbeth retired with Jane Shore to a neighbouring oyster-shop; and Ivanlioe fell helplessly intoxicated into the arms of Mr. Superin¬ tendent Mallalieu; Richard the Third rushed frantically into Covent Garden Market, offering his kingdom for a kidney pud¬ ding; and one of the Two Gentlemen of Verona pelted police¬ man K 555, with summer cabbages; Napoleon the Great seated himself in a tub of native oysters; and Reginald Front de Boeuf insisted on exchanging cards with a Smithfield Drover, of whom the knight was demanding in broken accents the satisfaction of a gentleman. But the most lamentable picture of all was that of Mark Antony seated in a public-house, pouring forth an eloquent oration over the beer of Barclay and Perkins. As for myself, it took me till the afternoon of the next day to get home, for I believe that, somehow or other, I went round by Bow-street, and paid five shillings more than the regular fare that would have sufficed, had I taken a cab direct to my own residence. 150 EVENINGS IN RAMSGATE. I shall not disguise the fact of my having 9tolen the idea of Evenings in Ramsgate from Moore’s “Evenings in Greece. ’ Ramsgate, where the scene is laid, was a watering- place even so early as the time of Iiengist, but nobody seemed to be aware of it. Egbert never resided there, nor was it a favourite resort in the time of the Heptarchy. During the Commonwealth the bathing is believed to have been almost as good as it is now; and probably an odd Puritan or two might have indulged in a dip on the coast of Kent, but there is no reason to believe that Ramsgate had the preference. There is a good deal of learning on the subject in the Sixpenny Guide Books, to which I refer the curious. FIRST EVENING. The wind is something more than stiff; The silver moon adonis the sky; The gallant coast-guard, on the ciiff, Strains through a telescope his eye. The sea puts forth its glittering charms. Keeping its moonlit waves in motion; The Pier is stretching forth its arms, As if it would embrace the ocean; The beacon-tower with its light, Doth warn the mariner of danger; Its clock proclaims the time of night Unto the lounging London stranger. How beautiful is evening’s hour! Wien Nature sends the moon at full To rob the garish gas of power, And make the public lamps look dull. Like the bright brilliance born of oil, Wien placed between a pair of dips, Their small effect ’tis sure to spoil, Their paltry light it mmt eclipse. * * * * EVENINGS IN RAMSGATE. 151 There’s a library built on the brow of a hill, Or rather ’tis perched on the top of a rock. Old novels the shelves of its reading-room fill; Clocks, vases, et cetera, serve for its stock. And though those old novels belong to the past, The pliant subscribers keep reading them on ; So those veiy old novels preserve to the last All the value of new when their novelty ’$ gone. The room is lighted with a pound Of goodly composition sixes; L pon the company around His eye the old librarian fixes. He takes the dice-box in his hand, The dice within he loudly rattles; A sale he trusts thus to command For many of his goods and chattels. He looks towards a bright-eyed girl, What does his eager glance reveal ? It bids the maiden give a twirl To Fortune’s ever-changing wheel. She turns it with a nimble hand, So fair and delicate her fingers, That amid those who pass the stand, One captive youth beside her lingers. He softly murmurs in her ear, And she replies in accents thrilling ; That gentle murmuring, I fear, Has cost the captive youth a shilling. Alas ! that man should court his doom, Seeking the loveliness which cheats him; E’en as the gnat in evening’s gloom, Flies smack into the mouth that eats him ! Or, even as the silly fly, When summer with its sunbeam crowns him, Though not particularly dry, Blunders into the milk that drowns him. ***** * 152 EVENINGS IN RAMSGATE. But one there was surpassing tar All others in that gay bazaar; A creature fair—a creature young— A creature such as poets sung When they described the fairest features That grac'd the loveliest of creatures— She was a thing of life and light, That look’d extremely well at night. Her well-macassared raven tresses Hung o’er her whiten d neck and shoulders, Which the most low of low-neck’d dresses Kindly revealed to all beholders. The centres of her cheeks disclose The deep vermilion of the rose; While at the sides, that lovely girl Wears the rich powder of the pearl, Adding, by its unequalled whiteness, Unto the deep vermilion’s brightness. Her eye-brows (truth ’twere vain to blink) Are partly made of Indian ink. But oh ! has India aught too rare To lavish on a maid so fair? Her form would shame the sculptor’s art— No stone, no chisel, could impart The beauty of that wasp-like waist When that sweet girl is tightly laced. Her waist, to sculpture, all must own Would only be a waste of stone. ***** The opening bars of a popular air— A beautiful ballad of feeling and grace_ Aic played on a Broadwood piano—a square— W ith several notes out of tune in the bass. And there, on the top of a kind of a box— A platform they term it—a maiden there sits, Who gives the piano such violent knocks, They threaten to break all the keys into bits. 153 EVENINGS IN RAMSGATE. She dreams she is dwelling in marble halls, But, carried away by the words she is saying, So heavy her fist on the instrument falls, She must dream, on a marble piano she’s playing. * * * * But there is one amongst the crowd For whom those notes are not too loud, Rivetted to the spot he stands Clapping together both his hands, And when that lovely girl has gone The youth still keeps applauding on; Till, with enthusiastic roar, He bellows out a wild “ encore !” His words are answered by a shout Of—“ Turn that silly fellow out.” * * * * As the foaming soda water Bursts from the cork that corked it, Did the youth turn to the quarter Which in tone insulting balked it— When, with enthusiastic roar, He bellowed out a wild encore. Oh, fatal beauty ! must thy charms Be still the cue for war’s alarms ? Must Smith and Johnson madly fight Because Amelia’s neck is white ? Must Snobson boldly Thomson dare Because Matilda Jones is fair? Must Snooks and Buggins come to blows About Eliza’s Roman nose ? Must angry kith contend with kin About Lucretia’s dimpled chin ? Alas, that beauty e’er should be The cause of mortal enmity ! * * * * 154 EVENINGS IN RAMSGATE. The angry youth, with dark eye flashing, Appeared on vengeance firmly bent : Offering to any six a thrashing Who wouldn’t tell him what they meant. The room his rage was nearly clearing, The old librarian seemed to doubt" A moment- then the hot youth nearinst, The old librarian kick’d him out. * * * * And when the angry youth was gone. The raffling still went calmly on : Still did the wheel of fortune turn ; Still did the pound of sixes bum ; Still were the idle loungers willing Sixpence to win—and lose a shilling. With patience, too, they looked about, Indulging still the futile hope That they could take their tickets out In anything but squares of soap. And once again the maiden sung, But ere the song was finished^half She missed the stranger bold and young, And burst into a frantic laugh. In ^ ain the audience kindlv cheer’d_ She got no further than the middle_ And some one present volunteer’d A grand concerto on the fiddle. * * * * And the maiden of Ramsgate in memory’s fits On the youth who encored her repeatedly calls, >V bile thumping a cottage piano she sits, Still dreaming she’s dwelling in marble halls. SECOND EVENING. 'Tis evening—’tis the silent hour AVhen Nature seems to seek repose; The busy bee has left the flower. And in the hive begins to dose. EVENINGS IN RAMSGATE. 155 The sparrow now no longer pours His merry chirp on all around, But in his nest serenely snores, While breezes mock the tuneful sound. ’Tis twilight—in the gay marquee ’Tis rather difficult to see; Though still, with paper in his hands Some spectacled subscriber stands, Now coming closer to the door; And now, the chilly air unheeding, He stands on the unslielter d shore Determin'd to continue reading. The vex’d attendant feigns a cough, Expecting thus to get him off; Takes in the chairs—and shuts the tent; But still upon the journal bent The spectacled subscriber stays, Conning the Times with aspect solemn As if he wouldn’t miss a phrase—• A single word—in any column: As, at a chop-house poor and cheap, Where papers are exceeding rare, One customer the Times will keep. So that none else the news can share; Then, having kept it long enough, To him that’s suffer’d next to win it He hands it; while, in accents bluff, He coolly says—“ there’s nothing in it.” ****** Sweet is the sound of tinkling bell, T\ om as a necklace by the sheep : Sweet is the lowing in the dell Of heifer, falling off to sleep : Sweet is the hum of passing gnat, Whizzing at eve our heads above; But sweeter, sweeter e’en than that Is the first gush of woman’s love. 1! EVENINGS IN RAMSGATE. So thought a youth who stole along The margin of the roaring sea, Humming unto himself, a song Of wild, unequal melody. That youth betrays upon his hair, Of grey precocious, just an inkling As if the pepper-box of care Had given it a little sprinkling. A partial stooping in his gait AN ould hint to casual beholders, That grief had found, to bear its weight, A porter’s knot upon his shoulders. A furrow on his manly brow Betray d the track of sorrow’s plough * And on his feelings any one Might see that mangling had been done. * * * * * * T here is a staircase leading from the heights Down to the shore—one of the grandest flights That human enterprise did ever dare; AN hen, having in its eye a wondrous stair, High on the topmost step a form is seen In bonnet close, and veil of muslin green ; «r°^ n T d ?' Vn ~ descendin ^ in a st y ]e could cope >> ith the light bounding of the antelope. But stay ! the brain a better image crosses; The form descends like one of Astlcy’s horses, \Vhich trots down stairs with action free and nattv, Wien tutor'd by the skilful hand of Batty. * She's coming—she’s comingher footsteps are sounding As o er the stone stairs she is actively bounding. 1 he footsteps now are heard no more, They’re muffled by the sandy shore. And now the youth upon the sand Waving with vehemence his hand, I EVENINGS IN RAMSGATE. 15/ Makes signal to the sylpli-like thing Who to his arms prepares to spring. Another moment more reveals, A father at his daughter's heels, Who, standing very near the water, Addresses thus liis wayward daughter : “ Was it for this, my daughter dear, That I indulged a father’s fooling, Paying some forty pounds a year For extra masters and for schooling ? W as it for this, that I allow’d For learning French a pound a quarter? Was it for this, I always vowed To make a lady of my daughter ? Was it for this?”—He might have gone In such a style much longer on, But that the youth did place his toe Behind the anxious father s heel And in an instant laid him low; The sands were very soft, and so L It was not probable the blow | He would severely feel. * * * * * * Away, away the lovers ran. And some time after that old man To cure him of a fit of vapour, Was conning o’er the morning paper, And in the marriages he found His daughter was in wedlock bound. ****** Again a youth upon the sand Is seen impatiently to stand; Again a form with footstep light, Descends that formidable flight. A father she has been to seek, After the absence of a week, 15S the oxford reading man to his chum. And to a husband gently takes him; That husband waiting on the sands; Hie lather cordially shakes him, At once—by both—yes, both his hands. I he tears are standing in the old man’s eyes, „ ™ ere ’ take hcr ” feelingly the old man cries, Uut jou must keep, remember, within bounds— At present only fifty thousand pounds. But, when into the chest of Davy Jones, 1 throw my very venerable bones, Then you shall have”—“Oh prithee say no more” Exclaims the happy youth upon the shore, o' T St , r ° Dg and 1 can work ’ nor am I loth lo do the very best I can for both.” But the poet alas the truth must tell, tt .1° ° n tllC shore was an idle talker; He thought of the cash, and aside there fell, rom the lips of the youth a muttered—“ Walker ” ***•**' Ten years have glided like the wind away. And now at Ramsgate near the gay marquee, A fin Up ° f SCVen little cl, 'ldren play,'— 1 Whose can those seven little children be? 1 hey do belong to him who stood of yore 'V“, tmg a fyip'dike form upon the shore ; That sylphlike form, ’twere idle now to flatter. Has grown, alas, considerably fatter. He, who an ardent youth,'would wait for hours in summer s scorching sun or winter’s showers, Attends no more the coming of his wife; He makes her wait—but such is life.

I cam 159 THE OXFORD READING MAN TO HIS CHUM. down as you know, a month ago, intending to read no end. I I cant tell how it is; but though there are no amusements m [ this place, one's time slips away imperceptibly. Tins morning I breakfasted at eight; you should see the eggs and ham, and cream we get here! I had that; and then they brought me a . ii(r of ale—such ale ! Well then the morning was so fine that I couldn't stay in, so I went down to the beach to enjoy the fresh air. I took my old. meerschaum with me and Bell s Life , and there I sat on‘a bit of rock with not a cloud'to be seen overhead, the sea as still as a pond, and nothing stirring but a few sea-gulls sailing about half-asleep. Well, do you know, I couldn't move for the life of me till dinner; and somehow I find I can’t work of an evening. You will wonder how I have amused myself. Well, I don’t know, picking up shells and shrimps on the beach, watching the vessels pass, and now and then sauntering along the shore with a gun, popping at the puffins. However, I mean seriously to set to work to-morrow. S.P.Q.R. or what is it that old Cicero ends his letters with? Yours sincerely, Vincent Dormer. PS I weighed 11* st. when I left Oxford ; now I should think I must be 12 st. How about Caxton’s pointer? I see that the odds for the sweepstakes are 2 to 1 against i Coningsby. From the Same to the Same . Dear Ned, So you thought I should never get to work ? l ou are out, my boy. I besan reading this morning (by Jove, how it has been raining ail day !) and have been walking into Euripides like a brick, cramming Medea in style. By the bv, wliat are the odds for the St. Leger against “Jason ?” I 11 bet you what you like I get up the play in a week, though those choral odes are deuced up-nill work ; and every now and then a fellow comes to a regular dead lock.

A propos of fleece, were any of our men in for it through Run¬ ning Rein? I was all right, having taken care to hedge, which just saved my bacon. Bacon, I may observe, is a thing that you get here in perfection. The scenery is allowed to be very fine; but the ground is rough and uneven ; there’s no room for a canter anywhere, except here and there on the downs, and a gallop cross country is out of the question. With the excep¬ tion of one tolerable pony, I hav’n’t seen a decent animal. Kara news, the only thing worth mentioning is, that there is a regatta coming off to-morrow at Cowes, which, T calculate, as the i ankees say, I shall go and see, and will send you due par- ticulars. But jam, satis! so adieu for the present, old fellow and believe me, Sincerely yours, y. d. P S. I wish you could send us down a box of cigars and the Era. DOMESTIC HINTS.

Friends, neighbours, countrymen, I tako The liberty to warn ye Against that universal scourge, A rascally Attorney. In ev ry town you travel thro’, The first thing you discern is A plate of brass, with letters large, Some 66 Rogue and Co., Attornies.” When debts and duns are plaguing one, The thought a constant thorn is, All others may be satisfied, But never the Attornies. When lands are gone and body bare As any babe new-born is, The wretch may call his soul his own— His skin is his Attorney’s. From good men’s hate I’d screen the man Whose name my bitterest scorn is; To yield him to that deeper curse, The friendship of Attornies. A\ lien dawn dispels the feverish dream, My first prayer in the mom is, Oli keep me from all evil things! But still more from Attornies. And when, at night, I go to bed, It always my concern is, To finish with a bumper-toast, “ Confusion to Attornies,” So I will lead a pious life, That, when to die my turn is, My soul may find a resting place, Where there are no Attornies. 162 THE ECCENTRICITIES OF GENIUS. We remember hearing an amiable old lady say, in her strong a miration for Dickens, that it was not astonishing he wrote so well, considering it was his invariable habit to associate with the class he intended to depict. “ I have been told,” said she that on one occasion he wore a paper cap and a white apron’ and sold penknives with fourteen blades for a whole week at the Elephant and Castle, purposely to study, at his leisure, the characteristics of Tigers and Omnibus-Cads.” We were so struck with this extraordinary fact, which we do not recollect having heard before, that we applied to the same old lady to oblige us with some more particulars of authors, which, after the outlay of a few white compliments, she readily consented to do. _ Ihe following are the most peculiar of her private ™^ R 'f G w N /> 8lle , < ?i- d HS ’ T hcn be was writin S celebrated uork of The Great Metropolis, used to spend four hours regu¬ larly every day in visiting the different coffee-shops in London He drank a cup of tea and coffee, and ate one, if not two, ck slices ot bread and butter, at every shop, so as to be able to report, conscientiously, on the respective merits of each He spent a little fortune in this way, and he has now such a violent antipathy to tea, m consequence of the horrible quantuies lie drank then, that he cannot come into a room where there is a tea-caddy, without immediately fainting away! 11 s antipathy to tea is to be the more regretted as it neces- wl?n r entS c MR ‘ C | RANT mixin & in those httle coteries of o,, ', ' , , WaS f »nnerly no less the pride than the ornament, ^ cli, alas . are the sacrifices literature exacts from the delicate- minded sons of Genius !

He was so struck, when ins,ting that place of entertainment, with Mr H,pliers Courier of St. Petersburg that the thought involuntarily came into his mind to give literature, and his forth¬ coming work, the benefit of his new impressions. The whole of THE ECCENTRICITIES OF GENIUS. 163 the graphic description was written in pencil, on the crown of his hat, entirely on the back of play-bills, and he filled no less than six, at a penny a piece, in this way. Lord W illiam Lennox is so particular about the compo¬ sition of his novels that he generally engages a secretary to read aloud to him The Antiquary, TylneyHall , or some other popular work, whilst he is dictating to another. This was the plan he pursued when he wrote his very cleverlv compiled, original work, The Tuft-Hunter. He has been heard to boast, that there is not a comma s difference between similar descrip¬ tions in that work and those above mentioned. His memory in fact is so retentive, that he can tell the author of every passage through the whole three volumes. This confession in a literary man cannot, on account of its candour, be called less than wondeiful! Mr. Benjamin D Israeli, weeks before writing his Co - ninysby, never missed a day without religiously going through Holywell Street. He would frequently take an old waistcoat or a seedy pair of trowsers, with him, as an excuse to enter a shop, and get into conversation with any of the venerable patriarchs in that street. In fact, it is said that a certain Mr. Solomons, who gave Mr. DTsraeli a bullfinch for a last year’s paletot, is the identical prototype of “ Sidonia but as "again it is said that Mr. DTsraeli himself is the original of that great character, who can decide ? Mrs. Ellis, in her ardour for literature, went so far as to enter as a maid-of-all-work in a young ladies’ boarding school, at Hammersmith. This she did for two quarters, purposely to have daily opportunities of studying the female character for her celebrated Daughters of England. She used to write down her impressions every night, in bed, when all the candles were put out. It is said she convened a council of monthly nurses, to glean information for her no less celebrated Mothers , but the particulars she got in this way were so astounding that she was afraid to use them. Alfred Crowquill frequently makes his sketches on his left thumb-nail. On one occasion, when dining out, a very hot m 2 164 EXTRACT FROM THE REPORT OF THE COMMISSION plate was handed to him. In the agony of pain he put the burnt finger into his mouth, and lost, to his inconsolable regret, the best likeness of a brewer’s drayman lie had ever drawn. Buckstone, Whenever he has a genteel character to act, walks about the streets till he finds the most promising-looking gentle- man, and then invites him home to supper. On one occasion however, he suffered sadly from his enterprising hospitality—for fcdl 1 aflecn f half l mght ™ stud *' in g a gentleman-at-arms, lie fell asleep from sheer exhaustion, and discovered the next morning he had lost a couple of spoons, a pair of sugar-tones thm^f, C q " tC fuU ’ a miniaUlre set ^ diamonds,°and Ui.ee old wigs.. It must be stated, though, in favour of followingTv. gCntleman ’ that the WigS werc sent tack the extract FROM The Report of the Commission appointed to inquire into the progress and prospects of the English Language. PnoFEssoH Downy, of St. Giles’s in the Reids, examined 1 le Ume when the expressions “ sliock- t an<1 . , flare U P” were in constant use. Did not think highly of either, but is of opinion that “flare up” was ririi tl ? s sur « the 7 fe entirely gone by, and that Ao one Think <e ? at ? r news P a P er > « that periodical the chill on. Looks upon the rapid progress of APPOINTED TO INQUIRE INTO THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. 165 “ fast” and “slow,” conveying a sense of praise and dispraise, as altogether unprecedented, except by that of the word “ shy ” signifying “ indifferent.” Considers “ This is the slowest thing I ever clapped eyes on,” as applied to the generality of modern five-act plays, to be a most felicitous expression. Is not sure whether he would rather call the ballet of Zelia “slow” or “shy,” but is inclined to think he would call it both. Once heard a Westminster scholar call a low person a “sky,” hut is convinced the word never got into general usa’rre. Is proud to express his firm belief that the phrases “ No great shakes, “ brace of shakes,” “ Walker,” and “ I’m blow’d ” are immortal, and beyond the influence of fashion. Thinks that what is said of Shakspeare may likewise be said of them — “ They are not for an age, hut for all time.’* Mr. Peregrine, of the Travellers’ Club, examined. Has fiequentlv been to New \ ork. Has occasionally read the New York Herald, hut feels great contrition ou account of the same, and does not intend to read it again. Has heard the phrases “loafer” and “rowdy,” and at New York, the former signifying a vagabond, and the latter a kicker-up of disturbances. Is sure these words have never been current in this country. Does not conceive it would be a great national blessing if they were. Looks upon “ opinionate” as a very superfluous word, inasmuch as all its functions may he performed by “ opine,” and has no great notion of “ screamer” as a complimentary expression. Thinks highly of “ slanting¬ dicular,” and as we have no corresponding word in England, believes it might be imported with advantage. Does not know whether such importation would he found facilitated by Sir Robert Peel’s New Tariff, such affairs not being his “ look¬ out.” Is perfectly aware of the financial sense of the word repudiate. Has often illustrated the doctrine it implies on his own private creditors, indeed many of his travels have been undertaken in consequence. Does not know whether a slang expression is to language what an appoggiatura is to music, not having the remotest notion what an appoggiatura may he. 166 THE SYNCRETICS’ COMMON-PLACE BOOK; OR, FEW THINGS IN MANY WORDS. IIow beautiful is nature, and how comparatively ugly is art. Can all the artificers of Axminster produce a carpet like the green grass ? Echo answers that the attempt would be utterly ridiculous. The mountain torrent, with its stream of gushing liquid, beats hollow the paltry fountain in the temple; and who would think of comparing Mont Blanc with the dome at the top of the National Gallery ? The sky with its variegated hues, the rainbow with its many colours, cast into shade the gaudiest of shop-shutters, which only seem to mock the plumage of that peacock who is indebted to nature for a tail which art could never grace him with. How vast is time compared with the clocks by which we are in the habit of counting it. How immeasurable is space, and how contemptible is the foot-rule by which alone we fonn all our ideas of measurement. Wisdom is like oats: there is a good deal of chaff to be beaten out of it, and the soundest philosopher is he who best can hear the soundest thrashing.

Was it not Mr. Ikey Solomons who, when sentenced to be transported for twenty years, called for a bill-stamp that he might accept the same for a thousand pounds? And was it not the late lamented Lord Ellenborougli who asked the pri¬ soner for what he wanted the said bill-stamp? And then and there, leaning over the Old Bailey dock, was it not Solomons who made this memorable reply—“ For vot do I vont a bill- stamp, my lord?—vy, I 11 tell you; to cut the twenty year short: for I never know’d a man accept a bill that the time didn’t fly away like vinkin.” No: it was not Ikey who uttered this profound truth; neither was it Lord Ellenborougli who put the curious query. No matter; truth is truth by whomsoever uttered. No lips can defile it. Therefore, reader, consider that Her Majesty’s stamp—all innocent though it seem—is a charm to steal away your golden months. Write on a three months’ document, “ Accepted, John Green,” and ere you can turn three times comfortably in bed, the bill is what is called matured, that is, ripe for dropping upon you. The banker s clerk knocks at the door; leaves a square bit of paper in which you are politely requested to send the money—(pooh, pooh ! ridiculous !)—“ between the hours of two and five.” You laugh hysterically at the invitation, and even ere the laugh has subsided, a short, concise epistle is forwarded from some benevolent attorney, who tells you that the money must be settled by twelve o'clock, “ or ”— No : not the ingenious handicraftsman who first crammed a sendee of plate into a cherry-stone,— Not the fine calligrapher who once penned an Act of Parlia¬ ment in the circle of a silver penny,— 1/0 MORAL REFLECTIONS ON BILLS. ,fZ 0t h f Wh ° Cra T med the " hoIe I,iad into a hook that he afterwards crammed into a walnut shell,_ hul^fT 0f th ese ever did or could compress such a multi- such little DgS SUC1 a W0 / ld of most significant meaning in “ SpUce — as ma - v be crowded in that attorney’s mono- “ Or ”— Oueen’s 0 Bench U t' nt-execution!

The youth— heaven help him !—is down, “accepted.” It is “hut a form,” says the friend, and he says truly. Hanging, too, is hut a form! My son, “ accommodate” is a good word, see that you abuse it not. Of house and board give to your friend all that the word in its largest hospitality implies. Accommodate with ready money, if—happy man !—the coin he yours. But accommodate not upon paper. An accommodation hill is no other than an accommodation pillory; with this difference: that whereas the pillory commonly accommodates but for an hour, the bill may have “ renewed ” and “ renewed ” accom¬ modation fcr months and months. Alas! that renovare dolorem ! Lay these things to your heart, my son, and he instructed. And when the friend of your bosom, or rather of your pocket, shall approach you with a hill-stamp, handing to you a quill with the self-same grace with which (it is upon record) the Devil handed Dr. Faustus an iron pen dipped in penal brim¬ stone, to sign away his soul—then, my son, take from your poke this little hook, your constant bosom companion, and, opening it at this very page, lay your finger on the w’ords below—a golden maxim made over to you by Punch : — “ tobo accepted) a hill for another is. if alone in the toorlh, uierelD an ass. &e tobo flicth a bite for another, anh pet ts not alone, is an ass toitj) tips inference — tnap also he a robber.” And so much for accommodation, according to the stamp act !

He then studies Nugent s Dictionary, and travels through Merlet’s French Grammar. He soon knows as much as his master; but, in his ambition, wishing to rival him by translating the same piece, he is thrown again upon the wood-pavement of London, without a countryman or a sou to help him. In his distress, he offers to teach a butcher's daughter French in exchange for a dinner for each lesson. He teaches himself in teaching her, and, by the time he has grown fat in the daughters tuition, has become quite a proficient Frenchman, lie purchases a copy of Telemaquc, and, with the aid of a dictionary at a book¬ stall, draws up the following advertisement:— “ J^JONSIEUR GUILLAUME STYLES, Natif de Paris, donne legons en Frangais, pour six sous une legon. Tirez la troisieme cloche, a la droite, Xo. 3, Le Tare de Whetstone.” His fortune is made. He gets one pupil. Encouraged by this, lie registers his name with his compatriote , Monsieur Fenwick de Porquet. He gets a situation in a school at Islington, upon the strength of some testimonials from French Professors, written by a Medical Student in London who had walked the hospitals and theatres at Paris for three veal's, and acquired his surgery and his French at the Chaumitre.

Beautiful is the Crown, hut how much more beautiful blended with the Anchor! What a noble fraternity are the Freemasons—hut how much nobler their Tavern ! Sweet is a thatched cottage —hut sweeter still a Thatched House ! Glorious is London— hut is not the London Tavern at once the eye and heart of the Great Metropolis? What a lovely thing is Charity, when accompanied with real turtle ! How ecstatic the emotions of the benevolent heart, when hounding to Champagne corks! How serene, yet mellow, the feelings engendered by iced punch! How do men, like melons, ripen under glasses ! When man has dined, he is, or ought to he, at peace with all the world! His heart swims in a sea of content: his pulses, sweetly as the notes of a musical snuff-box, play “There's nothing in life can sadden us." Daily care sits relaxed in his countenance, and whatever “ speculation " he may have in his “ eyes" on the Exchange, he has none at the genial board; albeit, after a certain hour, he may see double. How very subtle the nervous mechanism between the heart and the hreeches-poeket! A great truth this, that I have learned as Chairman. Mr. Harvey only discovered the circu¬ lation of the blood—that it flowed through and through the heart. I have since discovered that it also carries with it “ the circulating medium." Thus, before a man has dined, his blood moves languidly; it is like a duck-pond mantled with weeds : and then is his breeches-pocket close as a cockle.

I he landlord knows him, and purely out of respect for his vocation gives him the best. The other company may in their drink he “going it very sloe" whilst you and he shall be swallowing bee’s-wing. III. During the speeches of the Chairman and others, drink - but drink silently. Otherwise, orators are so long-winded, it is impossible, in the time allowed, to get drunk like a gentleman. IV. Cry “ Hear, hear,” and huzza, but moderately. If you have dined as you ought to have dined, much cheering dis¬ arranges the gastric juice, and hastens intoxication. V. V hen the list of subscriptions is being read over, if you have only given a guinea, cough hard or blow your nose at “ John Timkins, Esq.—one guinea,” that nobody may hear the precise amount. People may then think it a hundred. VI. When you retire from the tavern, eschew oyster-shops, and go straight home. Neither visit your customary hostel “ for one “ for only one more glass.”* Else, in the thoughts of your family, the Freemasons may suffer for what the Cock and Bottle has really done. This is cruel. VII. Whilst sober, carefully separate your gold from the silver, dropping the costlier metal into vour watch-fob. Other¬ wise, you may be liberal and not know it till the morning • having given the cabman forty shillings for two. VIII. If, with prophetical forecast, you have made up your mind to be drunk, you have, of course, taken the latch-key. It not, and your wife lets you in, immediately begin to quarrel with the door-mat. This burst of temper will at once indicate your dangerous condition. WTien a quarrel must happen be¬ tween man and wife, it is always best to have the first word. IX. Before you go to bed, take a manly resolution never to get drunk again ; also take one spoonful of carbonate of soda. X. In the morning, begin as soon as you awake to call yourself “ an ass ”—“a fool “a nincompoop.” This remorse will disarm your wife, and she will incontinently pity your headache. XI. When you go to business looking very ill, say “ You 180 FARMING FOR LADIES. can’t think what ails you—it must be the weather.” Ask now and then “If there isn’t thunder in the air?” XII. Return home punctually to dine. Take mutton-broth. Go early to bed. Next morning, agree with your wife “ that it is very silly for men to make such fools of themselves.” All right again for another public dinner. We have given these maxims according to the MS.; but where the Royal Duke obtained the wisdom enshrined in them, it passes our wit to discover. Doubtless, it is intuitive. FARMING FOR LADIES. This is the last new step in the march of mind. Surely no persuasion can be necessary to allure ladies to the practice of husbandry. The beneficial influence of country air and exer¬ cise on the complexion must alone be a sufficient inducement to quit the needle for the coulter. True, with reference to this point, apprehension may whisper “ Frecklesbut ingenuity triumphantly replies “ Parasol.” How pleasing the task, how interesting the sight of the well-dressed footman, assiduously shading, whilst he respectfully follows, youth and loveliness at the plough-tail! Ihe fairy foot how aptly associated with the fallows! Talk not of the difficulty of the thing; we have often seen it surmounted by Cento. The scene of the pas involves no prejudice to the chaussure. Here the question presents itself, whether the ladies should be adapted to their occupation, or it to them ? We are deci¬ dedly foi the latter alternative. The office of woman is to adorn life; and of course she cannot adorn life, rustic or urban, without being well dressed. Let the female agricul¬ turist be a Ceres attired by the Graces. Let the same dei¬ ties preside over her occupation and its implements. We recommend that the ploughshare should be gilt, and its handle padded with crimson velvet. We would have the flail inlaid with ivory, and its connecting ligament made of coloured leather. The pitchfork ought to be enamelled; the cart-whip STATISTICS OF THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. 1S1 variegated, and bound with gold and silver wire. The cart and wagon themselves should resemble a fashionable equipage* and the ladies should go in the same style to harvest-home as that in which they are driven to Almack’s. hen we consider the different employments of ploughing harrowing, sowing, reaping, mowing, thrashing, winnowing’ carting guano, and feeding the pigs; and reflect on the varied attitudes which they admit of, and the elegance which may be communicated to each, we shall see that practical agriculture, under female management, will speedily assume the^ character of one grand ballet. Thus the poetry of motion will be blended with the business of life. The barn will be approxi¬ mated to the ball room ; the hayloft to the salon , and elegance will be imparted to the most ordinary job. How charming the idea of beauty riding Dobbin, with a side-saddle, to water? After the above observations, we beg to propose, as a toast at all future agricultural dinners, “ The Fair Farmer;’ STATISTICS OF THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON.

YOUNG ENGLAND. \ oung England is situate in Curzon-street, May Fair, and the parishes thereabouts. Its capital is the Carlton Club House. It was founded by a small colony of adventurers, who, having quarrelled with the old Tolies, emigrated from Conservatism in the year 1842, and settled in the fashionable streets and squares of St. Jamess, to try their own fortune. The founder of this new colony was one Benjamin B Israeli, better known as I oung Ben.” Very few accounts of this Hebraic Columbus have been handed down to us. Portraits of the period, however, as drawn by a cele¬ brated artist, called “ H. B.,” represent him with long ringlets, and a nose built in the Mosaic style of architecture just over the bridge. His principal merit seems to have been in wearing six or seven hats, all on the top of one another, and in writing a curious work, now r quite lost to posterity, called 66 Ooniugsby j or thcJeio's Own Bookr It was much laughed at at the time. The population of Young England is not very numerous. It consists, at present, of twenty-five souls, three of whom, according to the last census, are married men, ten single, and the rest little boys and children. They return only tw’o j members to Parliament, but have the privilege of sending as many representatives as they please to Almack’s. The possessions of Young England are not very rich or numerous. Their wealth consists principally in novels, poems, pamphlets, speeches, and contributions to albums and annuals, I which generally meet with a ready sale in the literary markets of Colburn and Bentley. Besides these, Young England has a newspaper not yet published. t Their territory extends from the N. W. side of Grosvenor Square on the west, to the opposition benches of the House of \ Commons on the south. They are bounded northwards by the Whigs; and on the east by the Radicals, but they carry j on very little commerce with either. In fact, the only articles they exchange with their neighbours, are civilities. PROVERBS FOR SCOTCHMEN. 183 Their habits are exceedingly simple. Their great haunts are, the House of Commons, fashionable parties, poor men’s lectures. Clubs, public and private dinners, and Fops’ Aliev during the engagements of Grisi and Elssler. They mav be seen, too, at the French Plays, at Ascot, Epsom, and other Paces; and m the ring in Hyde Park, during the fashionable season. They like a little jewellery, and a well-built cab, and are especially greedy of newspaper praise, which they will devour positively raw.

PROVERBS FOR SCOTCHMEN. A kid glove cleaned is a kid glove saved. It is hard to forgive, but much harder to give. Whoever lends to a friend, loses not only his friend, but his money too. A dinner to a dead poet is better than a crust of bread to a living one. A friend in need is a fool indeed. Count fifty before you put your hand to your pocket once. Keep your supper for your breakfast, and vou ’ll die a rich man. Nothing venture, nothing lose. The English are like fiddlcstrings, the more you screw them the more you 'll get out of them. Every Scotchman for himself, and England for us all. 184 ADVERTISEMENTS FOR FANCY FAIRS. ^ In order to prevent the necessity for personal “touting” at Fancy Fairs, which must be very disagreeable to the ladies of fashion who feel themselves in charity bound to practise it, the following forms of advertisements are respectfully submitted to the fair stall-keepers :—- “ The Lady Lavinia Dashington Scott, The public attention invites to a lot Of elegant articles, pretty and rare, Manufactured expressly to sell at the fair: The loveliest butterflies—delicate things, With bits of embroidered silk velvet for wrings. They’re cheap, I assure you ; ’twere pity to lose them, If you ’re only particular never to use them. Pen-wipers they re called; but of course if you soil them A\ ith ink from the pens, you ’ll be certain to spoil them : Their cheapness must tempt you to purchase, for oh ! They’re marked at a figure excessively low. But six shillings each, all the butterflies round; Or, as a temptation, say four for a pound. ’Tis presumed that the public don’t need to be told, The fair advertiser takes nothing but gold : Ot thorough politeness ’twere out of the range, If a beavj were to talk to a lady of change.” ° The following form of a prose advertisement may be found serviceable to the aristocratic shopwoman :— u The Duchess of Datchet begs leave to remind the fre¬ quenters of Fancy Fairs that her stall will be opened to supply the public with bancy Goods at Fancy Fair prices. “ The following scale of charges, the Duchess humbly hopes, will meet the approbation of her customers. £ s. d A good useful Hand-screen, from (that is to say a long way from).0 7 G I BANK OF ENGLAND PILLS. 185 £ s. d.

Englishmen are a pill-taking people. It may he their boast, that as they eat more roast beef and plum-pudding than any other nation, so do they, with a courage peculiar to themselves, bolt more drugs, mineral and vegetable, than the rest of the world beside. Indeed, make anything into a pill, and John Bull will swallow it. Verily, he hath a courageous stomach ! The British government, too, overtly aids and abets the medicinal doings of its children, who have good leave to expe¬ rimentalize on their intestinal machinery, so that they pay for it. By virtue of a stamp, a man may take the safest and most legal cut from this world into the next. If, with a criminal contempt of the pill-vendor, he jumps into the Thames or inserts his neck into a noose,—what a fuss there is with the coroner, the jury, the witnesses—what reflections upon the sanity of the deceased ! Now, let him make away with him¬ self by means of pills, and he goes out of the world like a respectable man—pays Government duty for liis death—and there is no beadle to summon a meddling coroner, and curious jury. Ilcnce, our advice is, to all weary of this rate-and-tax- 186 BANK OF ENGLAND PILLS. paying world, not to bring any discredit upon themselves by a rash appeal to water or rope, but to subside from life in a quiet, reputable manner, paying a government duty for death, and thus emulating the self-devotion of the old Roman. Dulce et decorum est pro patrid mori/ It is a sweet and gracious thing to die for the Stamp Office ! The Bank of England Pills, however, have a peculiar opera¬ tion upon the stomach : but their greatest influence—and mighty it is—is upon the pocket! As other Pills exterminate any or all of the three thousand two hundred and ninety- seven diseases—for such is the present number, and it is con¬ tinually being added to—that assail the flesh, so do the Bank of England Pills utterly eradicate that one malady which con¬ tains in itself all the other maladies of the world—Poverty! AA hat the Pills of Morrison will do for a disordered stomach, the Bank of England Pills will effect for a low pocket. Deranged secretions and deranged affairs are—we stake our reputation on the fact—equally put to rights by one and the other. It is an allowed truth that spendthrift habits, idleness, and a careless, uncalcplating mind, result from imperfect biliary secretions. Now the Bank of England Pill nourishes the pocket through the liver, and is the safest, the most valuable medicine ever yet bestowed upon mankind ! The Bank of England Pills are the legacy of Mr. John Elwes, familiarly known to a scoffing world as Old Elwes, the Miser. The prescription, fairly written upon a piece of ass’s skin, was found with other treasures, after his death, in a tea-pot. It fell into the hands of a broker, who, ignorant of his good for¬ tune, sold it to the town attorney, who at the time was in the most dreadful state—the most hopeless condition of poverty_ but who, by constantly taking the Pills, became richer and richer, and at length died worth a million. AVe trust nobody is so criminally volatile as to doubt this. Indeed, who, when they read of the miracles performed by Morrison and others of his kidney, can for a moment doubt the corresponding efficacy of the Bank of England bolus ? Happily, however, we have hundreds of letters—a very mountain of testimonials—to prove the wondrous virtues of 187 BANK OF ENGLAND PILLS. the Bank of England Pill, and as these may speak more openly upon their excellence than it befits us to do, we shall without preface lay them before the reader : i. To the Proprietors of the Bank of England Pills. Gentlemen, I should have less feeling, less gratitude than a brute beast, were I not to return to you my heart and pocket-felt thanks for the miraculous effects of your Pills. I was, as you shall allow, in the most hopeless condition, when the miracle for I can call it no other—fell upon me. I had run through a fortune of £10,000, and was at least that amount in debt. I was in the Queen's Bench, having been remanded from the Insolvent Court for what they were pleased to call a fraudulent schedule. I was sentenced to six months' imprisonment from the date of the vesting order. I had not a shilling—my friends had given me up. Nay, I was so dread¬ fully changed that some of my most intimate companions— men with whom I had formerly drunk and played—did not know me. In this state, accident led me to try the Bank of England Pills. The effect was miraculous. In a few days, I was enabled to leave the prison ; and in another week, there was not one of my old friends who did not immediately recognise me. From that time, Gentlemen, I have constantly taken your invaluable medicine; and it is my most serious belief, that anybody who possesses a supply of the Bank of England Pills, possesses a never-failing remedy for the greatest malady of life. I never travel without them ; and am~ Your obedient and very grateful servant, John Jones. Gentlemen, n * In an evil hour I took my money out of the safe three-and-a-halfs, and handed it over to the drab-coloured men of Pennsylvania. I hey were to pay me very hand¬ somely indeed for the preference I gave them. Gentlemen, bank OF ENGLAND PILLS. they never paid me a single cent. Whereupon, my pocket suddenly declined, and I felt myself in an alarming condition. I sought advice—I put my case before the world. I wrote letters to the Momiwj Chronicle; yet all I could do did me no good—my condition remained as low as ever. At this time, the Bishop of-, a veiy dear friend of mine, recommended to me your wonderful medicine. I have only taken one boxful, and am as well as can be. My bilious attack, excited by the drab-coloured men, has entirely subsided. My pocket is m a remarkably healthy state, and, indeed, I am a new man. All this I owe to your wonderful Pills ; and owing so much, I cannot but acknowledge it. Yours, very gratefully, Sydney Pith. P.s. Several of my acquaintance, troubled with Pennsyl¬ vanian bonds, having taken a sufficient dose of the Bank of England Pills, are entirely recovered. Gentlemen, iil t ^ have been long a dreadful sufferer : for some years past 1 thought my case incurable. My illness, indeed, commenced with the building of Waterloo Bridge. I then contracted the disease ot shares, and have never had a moment’s health until last month. Every half-year, when the Bridge dividends were declared, I was seized with cold shivers. My circulation was very slow my pulse gone to nothing—with a dreadful sinking of my money-bag. Evciy fresh attack left me weaker and weaker; and I am positive that I could not have stood it another twelvemonth, had I not, in a happy moment, been recommended to try your Pills. Oh, gentlemen, how can I express my gratitude 1 I had taken only three boxes, when the last half-yearly dividend came on My cold shivers had left me—my pulse beat a healthful tune—my money-bag looked promising—I was alto- gethcr a new man. I have —as I think it a duty to my fellow-creatures — BANK OF ENGLAND PILLS. 189 recommended the Bank of England Pills to a friend of mine, very ill indeed with Kensington railway shares. He tells me he is fast recovering, and joins his gratitude with mine. Your obedient servant, John Robinson. iv. Gentlemen, You are doubtless aware that, the year before last, I took Covent Garden Theatre. It was my malady to be infected with management—I was very had’ indeed.’ You mav possibly recollect that our seasons were very intermittent. We had one every other week. The treasure became lower and lower : the house closed, and, in fine, I cannot tell how much I suffered. I was bled excessively, and for many months remained in the very weakest condition. A few weeks ago, however, I tried a box of your Pills. They were recommended to me by a brother actor, who had suffered severely from a bad benefit, and who had been wonderfully relieved by your in¬ valuable medicine. I took but one box—I say one box!_ and I am now as hearty as ever. I feel no effect from my recent loss of blood, but am in every respect restored by your wonderful Bank of England Pills. I remain, your obedient servant, Henry Wallack. P.S. There cannot be a finer medicine for all managers_ London and Provincial. Mr. James Silk Buckingham, feeling that the British and Foreign Institute is daily getting worse and worse, earnestly requests of the proprietors that they will immediately forward to him a gross of boxes of their Bank of England Pills. To these the proprietors might add innumerable testimo¬ nials, but modesty and want of space prevent them. There- 190 PROFESSOR SLOWCOACH ON THE tore, it w ill be sufficient to state, that the Pills are to be had at the Mint, the Bank of England, and at all respectable bankers, London and country, in boxes, at the price of one sovereign to one thousand. N.B.—No Pill is genuine unless marked -with either “ Georgius ” or “ Victoria.” PROFESSOR SLOWCOACH ON THE RISE AND FALL OF CHIMNEY ORNAMENTS. We regret to observe that the Decorative Society, who hold their meetings in a back parlour at the West End, have not had fair-play from the press, which has cruelly hushed its re¬ ports, and exhibited a callous indifference to all its papers. In vain has Professor Slowcoach preferred statistical tables on the subject of handsomg chairs; in vain has he lavished his learn¬ ing on the rise, progress, and ultimate fall of the Bell-rope in Great Britain. But Me cannot do ample justice to the claims of Slowcoach without inserting an entire paper from his able cinciput. The following delicious fragment on Chimney Ornaments will send his name down to posterity hand-in-hand with the Candelabra, and future ages will erect to his memory a mental mantel-piece.

By an Attorney. ON NATURAL HISTORY. Harmony pervades Creation, one would expect to find analogies between Nature and the Law, whether common or statute—nor is the said expectation disappointed. The young uckoo, to wit, as is well known, serves an ejectment on the young Hedge-sparrow, co-tenant of the same nest with himself, the said Cuckoo; though it may be doubted whether, in so doing lm does not commit an assault. There is no question that the old Cuckoo, parent of the young Cuckoo aforesaid, in laying and depositing her egg in the said nest, the property of Hed" C - sparrou the elder, is guilty of a trespass on the said property. In this case, however, there is no remedy; which shows the superiority of the British over the merely Natural Law.
