W., fcaviag apparently exhausted Lis vocabulary, calls to his aid Shakspeare'B melancholy Jacques, whose saying he distorts by olippiDg therefrom " ev?n in the cannons mouth," the end of William's celebrated moral; thank heaven it does nob y tl) apply to mo nor, I trU9', to . oastor, bnb the diviDe William has wiifcieu what really does apply to M. M. W, viz :— Eeoalus: "I am Borry one so learned and so wise should slip bo grossly, both in the heat of blood and lack of tempered judgment afttrwardß. ..." Every letter he hath writ hath disvouohei others." Angelo : " In most uneven and distracted ' manner, his aotions show like madness, pray heaven his wisdom be not tainted." What else Snakßptare would have written had be nscd the wonderful eighteenponny tea of the ami-Saodgraea vendor is an open qUfStioD, it is to me "as plain r.s way" to parish Churoh " that with M. M. W. (otherwise Castor), it is a case of go defence; abuse the plaintiff. To Pollux : " B ]ow till tly burst fcby wind if room enough," Old Bijou. To the Gemini : •• Both of jou havo beeu known from the outsat, and I ttßßt your signal defeat will ba a lesson to yon not to resort to the un-English practice of " two to one." —l am, &0., "AUREVOIB."
