Therefore the remainder, A R, or Roebuck on his ancestors, is equal to the remaining G L and S A, or great literary and scientific attainments. But G L and S A, or the great literary and scientific attainments, have been shown to be equal to those of an A s s. And therefore R A, or Roebuck on his ancestors, is equal to an A s s. Wherefore, from a given point, A, his ancestors, has been drawn out a Radical member, R, Roebuck, equal to an A s s. _Quod erat_ sheep-_face-iendum_. PROP. III.--PROBLEM _From the greater opposition of two members to a given measure to cut, off a part, so as it may agree with the less._ Let P C and W R, or Peel the Conservative and Wakley the Radical, represent their different oppositions to the New Poor Law, to which that of W R, or Wakley the Radical, is greater than that of Peel the Conservative--it is required to cut off from W R, or Wakley the Radical's opposition a part, so that it may agree with that of P C, or Peel the Conservative. [Illustration] From W, or Wakley, draw W T, or Wakley the Trimmer, the same as P C, or Peel the Conservative. With the centre W or Wakley, and to the extremity of T trimming, describe the magic circle P L A C E. Cutting W R or Wakley the Radical in B P, his Breeches Pocket. Then W B P or Wakley and his Breeches Pocket, agrees with Peel the Conservative. For because the circle P L A C E is described about W or Wakley Therefore W B P or Wakley and his Breeches Pocket, is of the same opinion as W T or Wakley the Trimmer. But W T or Wakley the Trimmer, agrees with Peel the Conservative. Therefore W B P or Wakley and his Breeches Pocket, agrees with P C or Peel the Conservative. Wherefore, from the greater opposition of W R, Wakley the Radical, to the New Poor Law, is cut off, W B P, Wakley and his Breeches Pocket, which exactly coincides with the minor opposition of P C or Peel the Conservative. _Quod erat_ brazen-_face-iendum_. * * * * * THE VALUE OF STOCKS--LAST QUOTATION. During a rural ramble, the ex-premier was diverted from the mental Shakesperian sustenance derived from "chewing the cud of sweet and bitter fancy," by an importunate appeal from a reckless disorderly, who was doing penance for his anti-teetotal propensities, by performing a two hours' quarantine in the village stocks. So far from sympathising with the fast-bound sufferer, his lordship, in a tone of the deepest regret, deplored, that he had himself not been so tightly secured in his place, as, had that been the case, he would still have been provided with [Illustration: BOARD AND LODGING FOR A SINGLE MAN.] * * * * * THE LINEN-DRAPER OF LUDGATE.
