Quite'Agreeable.—The landlord of an hotel at Brighton entered in an angry mood the sleeping apartment of a boarder, and 'said," Now ", air, I want you to'pay your bill, and you must. I hare asked you'fbr it often enough, and "I tell youl now, you don't leave my bouse till you pay it!" " Good," said his lodger, " just put that in writing ; make a regular agreement of it: I'll stay with you as long as I live." Style is the dress of thoughts; and let them be ever so just, if youc style is hemely, coarse and vulgar, they will appear to as much disadvantage, and be as ill received, as your, person, though ever so well proportioned, would, if dressed in rags, dirt, and tatters.—Chesterfield.
