, SHOPPING
A lady, a shopping, thro' Cheapside once pass'd
To perplex and annoy the young men ;
Every store of dry goods she xambled through
last. - . v ,
Front one to one hundred and nine, and at last
Popp'd in at one. hundred and ten.
Here goods after goods were exposed to her view,
Prints, laces, and silks, at her call ;
She took pauerns of yellow, pink, white, red and
blue t
Then tJ)e gfrinff, of hr hMg indispensable drew,
With the price of each mark'd On all.
" Have you any gloves? fmark the question she
made,
Those for gentlemen quickly were shown -J
' Ladies', Sir, if you please ;" and long whites
were display 'd
"Oh tbe short ones," short English before her
were laid,

tone.
French kid, still unroov'd, Dickey drew from a
case,
Where they lay packed so snugly together ;
But be soon had to wish them well back in their
- place,
When for " Silk" sbe cried, out with surprise in
her face,
Why, bless me, you see these are leather."
Dick new stood aghast, twenty others the while
Roar'd for goods like a battling host;
The counter was heaped to a terrible pile,
His Countenance lost its soft simpering smile,
And bis patience quite gave up the ghost.
"Cen fusion!' he staminers.with rage nearly burst,;
And his face not in graces or loves;

The following story from the novel of
Herbert iMilton, is founded on fact ; such a
tri k having been actually played at a house
m Lt-icestersquare, by ..the celebrated The
odore Hooke, author of " Sayings and Di-
;. " Talking of boiled fowls, said Nettley,
4 what think you of my finding myself, the
fjther day, at a dinner in. Russell Square."
" Russrlf what?" exclaimed three or foui
beaut; " lrnpos&iblc.,,
' ,True though, howevery, continueu
Charles j ,s atid moreover with a huge sot
disant sucking pig placed close to me, as a
side dish in the second course.' i
VLia you can iwe limn w in uu,
demanded Sydney $ "or did you j quit the
vile cook shop forthwith," r
.rv II 1 1. - - .t' ,1... nld.a rtilt
; Really, Chaties,' added another, "if
vou frequent those kind ot places, one must
ake the precaution :of talking to you, as
Pyrarous and Thisbe did, through a hole iu
a wall? How can ypupermit such low
persons to invite you ?'
" They did not," quietly answered Net
tley ; I' dropped in by accident."
"What sad . misfortune, what egreament
de V esprit humain, could have carried you
into the land of the Philistines ? You,who
are sudi a perfect . Bursch "
I Why, "replied Alfied, in answer to this
query addressed to Charles, " Nettley's
dtffidence'is sd gratihat 1 had better relate
the circumstance for him ; which I am ena
bled to do from having witnessed in a mea
sure, hs commencement and end."
i Alireu narraicu
ture nearly ar follows :
i( As I was dressing one day in the sum
mer, to dine with one ot my. constituents,
who lived in the fields near Bloomsbury
Square, and to whom I was obliged to sa
crifice myself once during the season, Chas.
Nettley, who would receive no denial from
the valet de chambre, walked into my dressing-room,
declaring his intention of dining
with me. ' I am sorry Charles,' said I, but
I dine out 5 my carriage is at the door.'
'Then order me a cutlet, a few truffles, an
apricot tart, and a bottle of the light Bor
deaux; and I will amuse myself until you
return r We will then gb down to Brook's
together.' ' Its rather unfortunate, my
good fallow, but Marine is gone to Cram
well's, to assist his cook in making prepara
tions for the dejeuner on" Friday, and I have
given permission to all the servants to go
to Astley'si' ' Hem J where then are -you
guittg purielf Intq the cityi Take
me with you ;ypur toaprboiler orsngar-xe-
finer, or whatever he may be,' will be en
chanted to see me. v Some marriage specu
lation, eh. Alfred Meet Mglech mein
by menials in my plans and in the i rxt,
they are the - people "with whom J neither
choose to take any liberty myself, or permit
thm any pretext or familiarity with me.' i,
Well ben,' rejoined Nettley, after a little
consideration, ' I will drive with you, I do
not feel hungry ; and as I have not seen the
new farce of the Gastronome tan Argent f
your carriage can set me down at the play,
and 1 will sup with you at Watieii?s' after
wards To this I assented, and To a few-
minutes we were rattfin? dawn Ozford-st.
as fast as my high-steppfng roans could
convey us. As we approached the vicinity
of the plebiah squares, NetUey pulled the
check-string and requested the coachman to
slacken his pace, during which time he care-
lully examined the windows on either side
the street. As the vehicle entered Russet
Square or Parchment Park,- as Nettley
had baptised this handsome portion-off tbe
metropolis; he exclaimed,. 'There,. ikerej
that.wiTtio. Pull up, coachman, at' the
nnuse wmtbvia lighted where in fact v
large party were seen, through the Venetian
blinds, assembling in the dinine-roora. The
drive, has given me an appetite said 'He:
there I shall dine; so) John, rap very loud,
and announce-me as Lord Nettley.' Pt
you know the people, ;said I ? Que Dieu
me en preserve P was the reply. ' Vel!
then, you canrrot be serious in your inten-.
tion of going in ? VVhy, .this is' carrying
your mi froid too far ; they will kick you
ut of the door, or throw you out of tho
window f You must be mad i ' Never, was
more in my senses, or in better order to at
tack that turbot ; look at the rogue, how he
blushes at the idea of bur being acquainted!
However, there is no time to lose ; the door
opens, so adieu; call for me as you return ;
and if you wish to see how jolly these good
people live, come in- I will introduce you!'
In spite of my remonstrances, he jumped
from the carriage, and in another second,
the door of the house closed upon him.
naturally concluded that Nettley would
quickly be turned out of the house, and di
rected my coachman to wait at the angle of
the square; but there being no symptom of
his appearance, I drove on, dined, and at
11 o'clock returned to ask if my friend waA .
still there. The windows were open, and X
saw the whole party, men and women, still
in the drawing room, arid to my astonish
oientj Charles Nettley at the top of the ta
ble doing the honors, while shouts of laugh
ter echoed even into the street. In fact9
when ! sent in to say I was waiting, tho
whole party positively insistednot only up
n his remaining, but upon my entering J
Being disposed to witness the feats of Alasv
ter Nettley, in I went, and found him in the
act of finishing one of his extempore songs,
which had been received with great ap
plause. The individual, who was a candi
date for the" sbievaltyj. appeared as mpcla
delighted as a king on his birth day "wilb
the panegyric of a Poet Laureate. In short,
it was with some difficulty that, in the course
of two hours, we were able to tear ourselves
from the good people, men, women, and
children accompanying us' to the carriage,
and insisting upon, the Hon. Mr. Nettley'
considering all their houses in future as his
own; for Ibis purpose his pockets were fill
ed with their respective cards, while the
exclamations of 'Wonderful Genius! a se
cond Mathews ! quite an Omer 1" j
" Odysee, of course !" said Nettley inter
ruptiugjiim. "Yes, indeed, jl flatter my
self I never shall want a dinner east of Tottenham-court
road; next to the Bonnssus,
am in higher estimation than any foreign
production which those .secluded people
ever saw. Egad I I believe that they would
have lent me a few hundreds on personal
security, if had sung them another round
of compliment." I
" But how did . you contrive to establish
yourself at first ?" demanded one of the
gentlemen; "you must have looked like
Daniel in the Lion's den." .
" VVhy, there was a good deal of gnash
ing of teeth and clattering of trenchers,9
replied; Nettley ; (5 but in 1 walked after the
