_HORAE SUBSECIVAE._
"_A lady, resident in Devonshire, going into one of her parlors,
discovered a young ass, who had found his way into the room, and
carefully closed the door upon himself. He had evidently not
been long in this situation before he had nibbled a part of
Cicero's Orations, and eaten nearly all the index of a folio
edition of Seneca in Latin, a large part of a volume of La
Bruyere's Maxims in French, and several pages of Cecilia. He
had done no other mischief whatever, and not a vestige remained
of the leaves that he had devoured._"--PIERCE EGAN.
"_The treatment of the illustrious dead by the quick, often
reminds me of the gravedigger in Hamlet, and the skull of poor
defunct Yorick._"--W. H. B.
"_Multi ad sapientiam pervenire potuissent, nisi se jam
pervenisse putassent._"
"_There's nothing so amusing as human nature, but then you must
have some one to laugh with._"
