Being sometime since in the town OF


W--d, my conversation was interrupted


by some children, who ran into the room and


exclaimed, "Father, Father, Sister E.,
has bought Circumstance, what is it Fa-
theri" "Surely nv son you have got wrong
name for the article she has purchased" /"
mo sir, / have not, you may go and ask SIS
ter F. if it isn't a Circumstance, and she
says she bot it at Mr. BIS shop, and she
told sister l. it would last longer than a
thousand wooden ones" Alter business
with my friend was over, had the curiosi-
ty to go to Mr.. BIS shop, and inquire
what this new article was-and was inform
ed it was piece of steel from s to Is inches
in length and from an to inches in
breadth, highly polished and flexible, worn
by the fashionable and the fair sex, to i'm
prove their shape, where nature had been
amiss in duty. Egad thought I, this is a
happy invention; how is it, said l to the shop
man, that you who work entirely in wood,
should be applied to, TO make them? Why,
| said he, they are made of Old Saw plates


which are wore out at my shop, and the de-


mand for Circumstances, ha ha ha u! has
got to be so great that we are obliged to draw
upon our neighbors for Old Sa7vS, Shovel
| Plates, &c. an Old Saw or Shovel, with a


very little filing will make ten or dozen,


so that we make profitable business in sell
ing them for one or two shillings piece, ha!
ha ha Egad thought again, we knights
of the Pill Cart shall henceforth reap great
er crops of the consumption, dyspepsia, &c


than usual; our pockets will be better lined
| with cash and Mr.. Printer you will be some


what benefited, as we shall be better able


to pay for your paper, and not only we, but
coffin makers, sections, apothecarles, and al


other persons concerned, and that our fail


NAV continue to wear Circumstances, thcir


petitioner shall pray. AQUA FORTS.
