people never sat in a church. "Haunt of harlots," indeed! How dare you, you nine-pin, to calumniate the citizens, the citizens' wives, and the citizens' daughters of Modern Athens? Nursery of Vice!" Why, you Flea, every countenance there is mantling with a harmless happiness, while Murray, or Mackay, is diffusing mirth over the smiling semicircle! "Grand Focus of Iniquity!" Confound your impudence, you Louse, not a householder there who does not pay his taxes, please his wife, educate his children, and go to church twice every Sabbath. " Temple of Satan !" Were Satan, you Dung, to dare to shew his face on the critic row,these two strapping students of divinity would kick him into his native element. "Within its circle all profaneness, impurity, gross impiety, and crime!" You Bug, you must have dined to-day on poisoned cabbage, and the fumes have wrapt your brain in delirium. But list! You must keep a better tongue in your head, else even your profession may not save you from punishment; and with nice adaptation of instrument to criminal, some cit will apply the little toe of his left foot to your posteriors, and make you jerk along Shakspeare square like a bit of Indian rubber.

Or look at the boxes. "Ultimate resource of all the wanton, profligate, and vile!" What do you mean, you miscreant? Why, that beautiful young bride is yet in her honey-moon, and the angel on her right hand is to be married on Thursday to that handsome hussar, whose irresistibles you yourself made, and they do you infinite credit. A hundred, fair and innocent as she, are all shedding such tears as angels weep for

"The gentle lady married to the Moor," so gently personified by the gentle Miss Jarman.

"Fling him ower- -fling him ower." Such is the cry of all the gods in the gallery, and Snip plays spin at halfprice from heaven, and loses his life for sixpence.

Having now given an analysis of the Age, a Poem, in Eight books, accompanied with copious extracts, we conclude our article with a hint to Snip to keep to his cabbage. It is fortunate for him that we have happened to be in a good humour-but the skipping of a flea gets teazing— and if we catch him again, we shall certainly crack him, or bury him alive in a pinch of snuff-and of all deaths the most painful is that of Maccabaw.
