So that his better part, we trust,

Another, in the parish of Duffus (Morayshire), runs thus:

Though Eolus' blasts and Neptune's waves have toss'd me to and

Where at anchor I do lie, with others of our fleet,
Till the last trump do raise us up our Admiral Christ to meet.

ON A DRUNKEN COBBLER.

Enclosed within this narrow stall,
Lies one who was a friend to _awl_;

But d----n'd his own without remorse;
And tho' a drunken life he pass'd,
Yet say'd _his soul_, by _mending at the last!_ E.L.I.

known; but there comes such company as drinks usually four or five
gallons in a morning." G.S.

killed in a duel; her country residence, Claremont, not long ago the
property of Lord Clive, who ended his days by suicide; she died in
Childbed, the name of her accoucheur being Croft. C.F.E.

GIVING AND TAKING.

(_From the French_.)

"I never give a kiss (says Prue)
To naughty man, for I abhor it."
She will not _give_ a kiss, 'tis true;
She'll _take_ one though, and thank you for it.

This amiable man told me that his affecting song, "When my money was
gone," &c. was suggested
