EPIGRAM.

Says a beau to a lady, "Pray name if you can,
Of all your acquaintance, the handsomest man?"
The lady reply'd, "If you'd have me speak true,
He's the handsomest man that's most unlike you."

PARADOX.

Four people sat down one evening to play,
They play'd all the eve, and parted next day;

Could you think, when you're told, as thus they all sat,
No other play'd with them, nor was there one bet;
Yet, when they rose up, each gain'd a guinea,
Though none of 'em lost to th' amount of a penny.

ANSWER.

Four merry fiddlers play'd all night
To many a dancing ninny;
And they next morning went away,
Having each receiv'd a guinea.

ON THE BIRTH OF A CHILD.

The rising sun, whose heavenly beam
First gleam'd upon thy birth, my child,
Saw tears adown thy features stream,
Whilst all around thee gladly smiled.

Oh! may that sun's declining ray,

When thou shalt sink to death's long sleep,
See smiles upon thy features play,

Whilst all around thee vainly weep.

This beautiful and splendid cabinet of the arts, is situated on the Grand-parade. As a public exhibition, the Dulwich gallery excepted, it is decidedly unrivalled, provincially, and may be fairly classed with those of the first consequence in London.

The paintings consist of the works of the Italian, Venetian, French, Flemish, Dutch, and English schools, the leading features of which are, an exquisite specimen of Par
