His fond ambition to be thought the friend Of all the great and noble :-such is man." tions contribute more than all the rest of the enemies of mankind put Snip then scampers off in a smart together, to the virulence of the dislyrical transition. Infernal blasphemy, that seems to beg ease which thus preys upon the vitals of the age. The infection was first communicated to the people of this country in-dress. It lurks now in each individual pair of breeches that issues from his shop. We defy any man to be proud, under three pair per annum; yet here is Satan crying Heav'n's thunders to descend and crush against sin with a vengeance. Kilts the wretch! And name each article of foppery After themselves-that all may know them fools." Mr Shears then makes a double-and falls again, tooth and nail, upon the pride of wealth, in a diatribe against Rothchild, which convinces us that Snip is a bankrupt. Hitherto our Tailor has been trampling the laity, but after a nap, he arouses himself like a giant refreshed with swipes, and pounds the parsons: "Vice in the clergy!-rank, apostate pride, Their chief corruption, whence all else proceed! Ambition, covetousness, love of ease, "Pride in the clergy! tell them they are proud, And a loud cry responsive, from each shore That owns subjection to the Christian yoke, Is rolled by the old Ocean's foaming waves, With noise as of ten thousand thunders loud, are just as bad-nay, worse-that is tartan kilts-for corduroy kilts are favourable, if not to modesty, yet to meekness, except indeed when worn with top-boots, in which case, we know not why, they too generate the epidemic. Therefore-let all tailors dungs and flints-strike-now and for ever; and henceforth all his sons will be as free from pride as Father Adam. "Quis tulerit Gracchos de seditione querentes?" The remedy is in your own hands-away with the shears for ever-and the naked truth, to the eternal extinction of pride, will be revealed all over the world. Having thus expatiated on the Pride of the Age, our breeches-making bard attacks its Pleasures. He is at a loss where to begin, so immense is their multitude. "Innumerable are they, and I leave 'The Church in danger! danger in the light, he pounces upon the Theatre. "Among them, the most prominent ap pears, And is, perhaps, productive of the most Stop, Snip. Do you mean that, you tythe, for a description of our Edinburgh Theatre? If you do, down with your trowsers, and take a taste of the knout. Look at the pit, you vulgar fraction. A more decent set of MONTHLY LIST OF NEW PUBLICATIONS. ARCHITECTURE AND THE FINE ARTS.
