EPITAPHIUM JUVENIS QUI PROPTER AMOREM 66 MOLLY STONE" MORTEM SIBI CONSCIVIT.

MOLLY fuit Saxum; si Saxum Molle fuisset
Non foret Hic subtùs, sed superesset Eam.

IN ILLUSTRISSIMAM DOMINAM

IN AGRO BLENH

—επερᾶσαν.

SALVE! Regia Virgo, quæ recenti
Largè nostra rigas vireta rivo!-
O, quæ tam benè mingis et benignè,
Vero nomine dicta PRINCIPISSA!

EPIGRAMS.

ON A FAVOURITE DOG, WHO REGULARLY ACCOM

PANIED HIS MISTRESS TO CHURCH.

"TIs held by folks of deep research,

He's a good DoG who goes to church:
As good I hold him every whit

Who stays at home and turns the spit.
For 'though good DoGs to church may go,
Yet going there don't make them so.

WHILE DICK to combs hostility proclaims,
A neighbouring taper sets his hair in flames.-
The blaze extinct, permit us to inquire:

"Were there no lives lost, RICHARD, in this Fire?"

IGNOTUM OMNE PRO MAGNIFICO.

AVERSE to pamper'd and high-mettled steeds,
His own upon chopt straw AVARO feeds:
Bred in his stable, in his paddock born,
What vast ideas they must have of Corn!

A CASE OF CONSCIENCE;

SUBMITTED TO A LATE DIGNITARY OF THE CHURCH

ON

HIS NARCOTIC EXPOSITION OF THE FOLLOWING TEXT

"Watch and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.”

"Watch and pray," says the TEXT,

"Go to sleep," says the SERMON.

SOME of the BREAD with which the French fed their prisoners of war, having been brought to this Country, was analyzed by the direction of LORD GRENVILLE; and found to have been made of horse-beans, together with some ingredients of a coarser quality, mixed with a certain proportion of common Sand.

EPIGRAM.

SAY why with SAND, instead of Wheat,
France kneads her captive's crust ?—

"Tis but to execute her threat:

"My foes shall bite the dust."

SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS all angels supposes
With beards are provided as well as with noses:
Yet no text has been found to confirm what he saith,
And make it an item of orthodox faith.-

Sure to help a lame Saint o'er a stile is no sin!
"You'll find chapter and verse, Tom, on Caroline's
chin."

* A celebrated teacher of school-divinity in the universities of Italy, about the middle of the thirteenth century, commonly called the Angelical Doctor.
