"Don Quixote; because it was written by _Cervantes_--(servantes).--Rather low, Sir Ned." QUESTION BY LADY BLESSINGTON, "When is a lady's neck not a neck?" ANSWER BY LADY MORGAN. "For shame now!--When it is a _little bare_ (bear), I suppose." * * * * * A SPEECH FROM THE HUSTINGS. The following is a correct report of a speech made by one of the candidates at a recent election in the north of England. THOMAS SMITH, Esq., then presented himself, and said--" * * * * * * * * crisis * * * * * * * * * * * * * important dreadful * * * * * industry * * * * * * enemies * * slaves * * independence * * * * * * freedom * * * * * firmly * * * * gloriously * * * * contested * * * * * * support * * * * victory, Hurrah!----" Mr. Smith then sat down; but we regret that the uproar which prevailed, prevents us giving a fuller report of his very eloquent and impressive speech. * * * * * FASHIONABLE MOVEMENTS. COUNT D'ORSAY declares that no gentleman having the slightest pretensions to fashionable consideration can be seen out of doors except on a Sunday, as on that day bailiffs and other low people keep at home. * * * * * EPIGRAM ON A VERY LARGE WOMAN. "All flesh is grass," so do the Scriptures say; But grass, when cut and dried, is turned to hay; Then, lo; if Death to thee his scythe should take, God bless us! what a haycock thou wouldst make. * * * * * An author that lived somewhere has such a _brilliant_ wit, that he contracted to light the parish with it, and did it. "Our church clock," say the editors of a down-cast paper, "_keeps time_ so well that we _get_ a day out of every week by it." A man in Kentucky has a horse which is so slow, that his hind legs always get first to his journey's end. * * * * *
