BOW-STREET WIT. Over the fire-place at the public office, Bow-street is a likeness of the celebrated Sir John Fielding _Knight_, who was at the head of this establishment after _losing his sight_. A gentleman, a few days ago, observed that Fielding was a great encourager of _thieving_. "How so?" asked his friend. "Why don't you know he was a _dark-knight_." P.T.W. * * * * * The following epitaph is on the tomb of David Birkenhead, in Davenham churchyard, Cheshire: "A tailor by profession, And in the practice, a plain and honest man: He was a useful member of society; For, though he picked holes in no man's coat, He was ever ready to repair The mischief that others did; And whatever _breaches_ broke out in _families_, He was the man to mend _all_, And make matters up _again_: He lived and died respected." Forty years' service in Lord Penryhn's family induced Lady Penryhn to bestow this stone to his memory. * * * * * AXIOM. Nought but love can answer love, And render bliss secure; But virtue nought can virtue prove To make that bliss secure. * * * * * FOR A WATCH-CASE. Life's but a transient span: Then, with a fervent prayer each night, Wind up the days, and set 'em right, Vain mortal man! * * * * * LIMBIRD'S EDITION OF THE _Following Novels is already Published_: _s. d._ Mackenzie's Man of Feeling 0 5 Paul and Virginia 0 6 The Castle of Otranto 0 6 Almoian and Hamet 0 6 Elizabeth, or the Exiles of Siberia 0 6 The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne 0 6 Rasselas 0 8 The Old English Baron 0 8 Nature and Art 0 8 Goldsmith's Vicar of Wakefield 0 10 Sicilian Romance 1 0 The Man of the World 1 0 A Simple Story 1 4 Joseph Andrews 1 6 Humphry Clinker 1 6 The Romance of the Forest 1 8 The Italian 2 0 Zeluco, by Dr. Moore 2 6 Edward, by Dr. Moore 2 6 Roderick Random 2 6 The Mysteries of Udelpho 3 6 Peregrine Pickle 4 6 End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Mirror of Literature, Amusement, and Instruction, by Various
