_P. Coun._ I have done a great deal; I think I may claim some merit. _Sell._ The abolition of beggary; the institution for the support of the indigent-- _P. Coun._ Oh! there are so many things to be done yet! _Sell._ And you have so much power in your hand. What do you say to my last performance? _P. Coun._ I have perused it.

(Puts down the band-box, and retires.)
