Will you indeed forego the elegance and involution of the courts, and have nothing but what is so simple and natural that the birds almost may understand us? (Hear, hear.) Is that indeed your wish ? — if so, say so, — and on you be the re- sponsibility, and with you be the loss ; — of course I will not throw my pearls before, — I beg pardon, — I will not give my learning for nothing, where it is not wanted, — and per- haps not comprehended !

Perhaps Mr Timberta-^ would admit that some queer scenes follow the movements of his wheelbarrow, in Follytown end in Frolicville, and in the Villages of Swillpond and Bottleville.? Would he like me to ask little Tommy Ti- mid and his n).:ther, he « they like to see his decoy board, there, exhibited near their cottage ? What would Bill Leavethewrong say about .he " fools pennies" which for- merly found tin ir way into Mr. Timbertap's pocket ? But I need not continue ;— theory and practice, principle and experience, agree with the views now urged, and appeal to the enlightened understanding of our "neighbour here.
