quoins, and not be worth a cent; have
Binall caps, with neither a wife or
child. Others may run, but he gets
along faster by setting. He will make
lino impressions without elofjuenee,
use the lye without otfoiiding, and
still tell the truth. Though it is im
possible for others to stand while they
set he can set standing and do both at
tho same time; may use furniture and
have no dwelling; niay make and put
away pie, yet never sec nor eat pie.
Still n human being he may be a rat. at
the same time; may handle a shooting
iron, yet know aught of cannon, gun
or pistol; may lay his form on a bed,
yet lie compelled to sleep on the Hoar;
may UfOtho dagger without shedding
blood, and on the earth handle stars.
He may le of a a rolling disposition,
with no desire to travel. He may
never lose a case, with no knowledge
of law or physic; be always correcting
his errors, but growing worse every
day; may have embraces, without hav
ing 'the arms of a lass thrown about
him; his form may be locked up, and
ho be far from jail, watch-house or
other place of confinement. He may
be surrounded with dead matter, but
dwell iu blissful ignorauee of any disa

the printer may have an
