Mr. Tho. Fuller having made some verses on a scolding wife; Dr. Cosins, hearing them repeated, was so much pleased with them as to desire a copy. "'Tis needless," said F. "for you have the original."

H. Lucius Carey, son of the great Lord Falkland, was brought early into the House of Commons; on which a grave Senator objected to his youth, and said he looked as if he had not sowed his wild oats. He directly replied, "If I have not I may sow them in this House, where there are geese enow to pick them up."

In the early part of Garrick's performance at Drury-Lane Theatre, an indifferent Tragedy was acted; which, however, met no opposition till the fifth act, - when Garrick, as the dying Monarch, bequeathed his Empire between his two sons in the following line:

"Jointly, betwixt you both, my Crown I do bequeath."

An arch Wag getting up in the Pit, rejoined, "Then they have just got half-a-crown a piece."

This threw the House into such a laugh, that not another word of tragedy was uttered.
