Greater in towns than in the country, it dreadfully aggravates the evils of our employments; and it produces evils of its own, tenfold more unjust, more rapid, and more deadly. Not a class of artizans, and scarcely one of professional men, is to be found, int which intemperance may not be discovered. Sometimes it is grossly apparent, often partially concealed; in the first case as it were taking the constitution by storm, in the latter proceeding by sap; in both utterly destroying health, personal comfort, and domestic happiness. The most striking effects of intemperance are to be seen among the artizans. The man takes, during the hours of labour, more drink than he requires, and this generally the compound sold under the name of ale. Instead of spending the evening with his family, he joins frequently some friends to take a pint at the public-house. To ale, a glass of spirit must afterwards be added. At length he is frequently drunk at night, and in the progress of the case we find him occasionally so unfit for work the next morning from disordered stomach, that he must have some spirit before he can crawl from his house. One glass leads to a second, and the man becomes intoxicated, and in the morning is obliged to give up the idea of going to work; and then his habits and feelings lead him to spend the day, not in freeing his system from the effects of his debauch, not in abstinence, fresh air, and repose, but in aggravating the evils from which he suffers. He spends the day at the public-house. To-day is a repetition of yesterday, and to-morrow will probably be spent in sickness and in bed. There is another class in whom vice is less apparent, though equally fatal. The artizan, not content with the more than liberal allowance of ale which he has had during the day, calls for his glass of spirit as soon as he comes home in the evening. It is but pence, he says, and he can well spare this. At five or six in the morning again he takes his usual dram, as he sets out fasting to his work; and takes it consequently at the time most likely to injure the stomach.

At the first blush of the affair, I fancied my dreaming faculties were amusing me with the freak of one of Wouvermann's banditti scenes; but no sooner did I hear the Captain roar out-—“ A tierra, boca abajo, ladrones !"-To the ground! downwith your mouths, rascals!than all the waking terror of reality shot across my mind.

And now came a more amusing scene. Each party sprung forward to vindicate his right to a portion of the rags and tatters left behind; but conscience cannot be convicted of having lent any hand in the transaction: all helped themselves to what lay nearest, provided it was better than its neighbour; and thence ensued a cross-fire of words and abusive epithets, which exploded at last in a downright battle-royal of nails and fists. Bereft of every relic which I might have called my own, I stood quietly eyeing the fray, or tracking the wreckers in the distance, until every trace of both had disappeared, and our seven mules, save one, were yoked to a burthen which none but they were pleased to find so marvellously lightened. PIN MONEY.-Pins were acceptable new-years gifts to ladies, instead of the wooden skewers which they used till the fifteenth century; and instead of the gifts, a composition was sometimes received in money. CHEQUERS.-In early times, a chequered board, the emblem of calculation, was hung out, to inafterwards adopted as the sign of an Inn, or dicate an office for changing money. It was hostelry, where victuals were sold, or strangers lodged and entertained. BONFIRES, OR BONEFIRES.-These fires are supposed to have been so called because they were generally made of bones, and some think it re. lates to the burning of martyrs, first fashionable in England in the reign of Henry IV. The learned Dr. Hickes gives a very different etymon; he defines a bonfire to be a festive or triumphant fire: in the Icelandic language, he says, Baal signifies a burning. In the Anglo-Saxon, Bael, by a change of letters in the same organ, is made Baen, whence our Bonefire. BREVITIES. A century ago not one of the bridges existed Westminster which now cross the Thames.
