thirst for that sitting. Do not talk, rant, or laugh too much, at the beginning of a carouse; for your mind, being thus thrown into a state of agitation, stirs up and ruffles the bed of the pool within, which, as I have before hinted, should have time to stand and settle. And this commotion of the lower tides, or under currents, it is, that so often produces that sudden, premature, and violent tempest which but this is running too far into particulars and I have no desire to make you feel uncomfortable so soon after dinner. So, fill your glasses -bumpers, if you please. and I'll give you a toast— gentlemen, are you all filled? "THE OLD COUNTRY she soon be rid of all her troubles."

WARING TO WALSINGHAM (aside.)

There, I told you so. In vino, veritas! D'ye call him cold, now?

WALSINGHAM.

I should like to hear any body say so. I would knock him down, if I could.

FENWICK (after taking two or three pinches of snuff, and making use of his handkerchief.)

"Oh, 'tis a noble sight to see," my dear Gaultiman, it seems you like salt-water with your wine, - for a couple of tears have fallen into your glass. Walsingham, Webster's noble words sound mighty well in your mouth. Your voice is like a trumpet. Oh, may that sentiment be heard all over the land, and take deep root in every American heart!

FENWICK.

Gentlemen, we are getting serious; and the waiters by the noise they are making, evidently look upon us as intruders. Suppose we adjourn to my room? Come, Waring says he can't sing to-day, but he has. promised to read to us some verses of his own composition; and, while I think of it, I'll relate to you a little adventure which happened to myself and the Count in this very city of Boston. So, come along..
