The horse and ass are furnished with teeth in the upper jaw, and do not ruminate. In the former class the grass and hay descend into the stomach nearly in the state in which they are cropped from the pasture or gathered from the bundle. In the stomach they are softened by the gastric juice, which in these animals is unusually copious.-Paley.

The pleasantest part of a man's life is generally that which passes in courtship, provided his passion be sincere, and the party beloved kind with discretion. Love, desire, hope, all the pleasing motions of the soul rise in the pursuit.-Addison.

He is an immortal being, that has but two marks of a man about him, upright stature, and the power of playing the fool, which a monkey has not.

He is an immortal being, that would lose none of its most darling delights, if he were a brute in the mire; but would lose them all, if he were an angel in heaven.

It is certain, therefore, that he desires not to be there: And if he not so much as desires it now, how can he ever hope it, when his day of dissipation is over? and if no hope-what is our Man of Pleasure? A man of distraction and despair to-morrow.-Young.

LAWYERS.

I oft have heard him say, how he admir'd
Men of your large profession, that could speak
To every cause, and things meer contraries,
Till they were hoarse again; yet all be law;
That with most quick agility could turn,
And return, make knots and undo them,
Give fork'd council, take provoking gold
On either hand and put it up.-Ben Jonson.

Common swearing, if it have any serious meaning at all, argues in man a perpetual distrust of his own reputation, and is an acknowledgment that he thinks his bare word not to be worthy of credit. And it is so far from adorning and filling a man's discourse, that it makes it look swollen and bloated, and more bold and blustering than becomes persons of genteel and good breeding.Tillotson.

has been her own physician with some success, imagines she could be yours with the same. Would to God you was within her reach. She would, I believe, prescribe a great deal of the medicina animi, without having recourse to the books of Tresmegistus.-Pope is now in my library with me, and writes to the world, to the present and to future ages, whilst I begin this letter, which he is to finish to you. What good he will do to mankind I know not; this comfort he may be sure of, he cannot do less than you have done before him.-Bolingbroke.

She never told her love,

But let concealment, like a worm i' the bud,
Feed on her damask cheek.-Shakspeare.

The grande monde worship a sort of idol, which daily creates men by a kind of manufactory operation. This idol (a tailor) is placed in the highest parts of the house on an altar erected about three feet; he is shewn in the posture of a Persian Emperor, sitting on a superficies, with his legs interwoven under him. This god had a goose for his ensign; whence it is that some learned men pretend to deduce his original from Jupiter Capitolinus.-Swift.

I remember,
For many years ago I pass'd this road,
There was a foot-way all along the fields

By the brook-side-'tis gone-and that dark cleft!
To me it does not seem to wear the face
Which then it did.-Wordsworth.
