  SENTIMENTAL PERFUMERY.

A sentimental Perfumer recommends it to the fine ladies, to furnish
their toilets with the following articles:

_Self knowledge:_--A mirror, shewing the full shape in the truest light.

_Innocence:_--A white paint, which will stand for a considerable time,
if not abused.

_Modesty:_--Very best rouge, giving a becoming bloom to the cheek.

_Contentment:_--An infallible smoother of wrinkles in the face.

_Truth:_--A salve, rendering the lips soft and peculiarly graceful.

_Good humour:_--An universal beautifier.

_Mildness:_--Giving a tincture to the voice.

_Tears of Pity:_--A water, that gives lustre and brightness to the eye.

N.B. The constant use of these articles cannot fail rendering them quite
agreeable to the sensible and deserving part of mankind.

  CURIOUS PROPOSITION OF A DEBTOR TO HIS CREDITOR

  (From a London Paper)

A debtor in the Fleet prison, lately sent to his creditor, to let him
know that he had a proposal to make which he believed would be for their
mutual benefit; accordingly the creditor called on him to hear it.
“I have,” said he, “been thinking that it is a very idle thing for me to
be here and put you to the expence of seven groats a week; my being so
chargeable to you has given me great uneasiness; and God knows what it
may cost you in the end; therefore what I would propose is this, you
shall set me out of prison, and instead of seven groats, you shall only
allow me eighteen pence a week and the other ten pence shall go towards
the discharge of the debt.”
