PHOTOGRAPHY.

The Celebrated Mr. Watkins’
of Parliament Street, the Photo-
grapher has, we hear, accom-
plished the difficult feat of uniting
rapidity of motion with dexterity
in portrait-catching. When he
was out hunting he managed,
while leaping a hedge, to take u
gentleman who was lying in the
ditch underneath. The subject
came out strong on the occasion.

THE WAYS OP LIFE.

There’s a right way, and there’s
a loft way, and there is, also, a
middle way. The latter course is
apparently the most followed, for
meet a dc^en people in the course
of the day, and the chances are
that eleven c ut of the twelve will,
if you ask them, “ Well, how are

you getting cn?” instantly re-
■nlv. “ Oh! middong, thank you.”

There are, one wo hid infer, more
middle-men in this world than
any others.

PLAIN TRUTHS FOR PLAIN
PEOPLE.

Chess is nothing unless it is
played on the square.

Small talk is like small beer—
a little of it goes a very great way.

Pure milk, unlike the pure
truth, is good for nothing when
drawn from the well.

You may depend upon it, but
no man of the name of Smith
likes being joked about it.

FOR THE BAWLING FISH-SELLERS AT WATERING-PLACES.

Pure Ethics.—Why is a selfish
man a good Christian ? Because
he loves his worst enemy; that is,
himself.

I calculate I like the heroes, some :

But why are they addicted unto swipes,
Why do they all smoke brief plebeian pipes,
And fright cab-horses with the fife and drum?

Domestic Economy.—The best thing you can do with
measly pork is to cure it.

THE SUN IN THE SIGNS.

AQUARIUS.

The Waterman brings up the glowing wheels
Of Pcean, whose hot coursers cool their heels;
Himself imbibes, to damp his inward fire,
Barclay and Perkins’s or Reid’s Entire.
