Washington Irving once alluded to a man of superior pomposity as ‘ a great man, and in his own estimation a man of great weight. When he goes to the West, he thinks the East tips up.’ A country paper gives the following advice to a correspondent:—“ We shall have to decline your article on the Decline of Aristocracy. We have left out several of our own articles this week, and yours is worse than any of them. Take our advice and write a few very short pieces; write only on one side of the sheet; write plainly: and then take your pieces and burn them in the stove.”
