"Let's take a cup," said Greedy. "We'll sup before we go."
"Su semblante, &c." His conceited look and white dress garnished
with towels.
"Peor esta, &c." I am out of the frying-pan into the fire.
"Hombres, &c." Men of colossal figure put me into the street.
"Y llevaron, &c." And carried me off at once.
"Por falto, &c." For want of strength.
"Y suenos, &c." Dreams are only dreams.

A HIT AT TWO HOUSES.
There is this difference between the great tragedian at the Olympic and
the great burlesque actor at the Princess's:--That whereas MR. ROBSON
elevates burlesque into tragedy, MR. CHARLES KEAN lowers tragedy into
burlesque.

BEARISH IMPUDENCE.
The seizure of the Principalities by the Russian bear was an act of
aggression which must be allowed to be unblushingly bear-faced.

PITY.--We have a great pity for a man who is ruining himself, but very
little for the man who is ruined.
