LIKE MASTER LIKE MAN.

CHAPTER 1.

Friend, were the merits of thy nation scann'd
From one particular, and thou the sample,
I should affirm thy countrymen all heart;
Stuff'd with such various, manly qualities,
That it doth grievously perplex their brains
To find fit seasons when to exercise them!

COLMAN THE YOUNGER

A KNOCK at Philip's door awoke him (after a night of dissipation) at an early hour.

"Who's there?" demanded he, peevishly.

"I, by myself, I," answer'd Haw. buck.

"Come in.-Well, what's the matter?" Nothing that I do know on..

"Why did you wake me, then?”
"I did not know thee wast asleep."
