ftringing together a fresh bundle of proverbs.-Mrs. Griffin once more opened her mouth; the filent moment vanished, and I fancy flew after wit; for I heard no more of it.

Gentlemen, fays Mrs. Griffin, if it will not mortify your mani

folds, tire your time, and take up too much of your patience, I formation upon a queftion or two would gladly receive fome milinwhich I have to repofe; and which I muft needs own the diffolution thereof would give me the greatest petrefaction.

I apprehend you right well, Madam, replied Syntax.

Blood & oons, quoth Griffin, I did not think there had been fo many hard words in the world in the world. Syntax was rather afraid Trigon would get the lead.--I believe, with fubmiflion, fays Syntax, that a logical difcuffien would beft answer a lady's propofitions.-Another ical again fays Griffin.--I am not fond of hard words.--They are very bad things, fays Sancho, to butter turnips with,Mrs. Griffin put forth her queftron; which was but I will give it in her own words, When we die, as die we muft;--You may die as foon as you pleafe, fays Griffin, but I have no notion of leaving my liquor behind me.

Right, fays Sancho. Reft when you are dead, but drink while you live, it is an exercife which fits all people; because he who drinks till he cannot fand, may do it fitting.---Mrs. Griffin went on; her queftion was, Whether we should know one another in a feparate ftate of existence.--I hope not,

Yes, holy man, I'll tell thee true;
And tell my tale full plain,
And here wish to remain.
Why here I feek thefe gloomy fhades,

And why along the dufky Dell,
And thro' the defert drear,
A willing exile here.
With weary steps, I wander on

Why I have parents left, and friends,
Old Michaelmas Day.
And all my kindred clan ;
And why I chufe to wander here,
A folitary man.

So Father may thy fage advice,
And eke thy precepts kind,

Speak comfort to a tortur'd breaft,
And eafe my troubled mind.

Know then, my Sire's a baron bold,
A man of high degree;

And both by country, and by king,
Full well belov'd was he.

And paffing rich, with trophies

But only cries out of the charge.
