flu. 22. Luv—Horn Tooke used to say, that law, in his opinion. ought not to be a lux- ury for the rich, but a remedy to the poor. When told that the course of justice was open to all, he replied, so is the London Tavern to such as can pay their entertain- ment. Imperia, the Lais of Modern Rome, like her Grecian prototype, found Princes anx- ious for favors. 'l‘he splendor with which she received her visitor has never been surpassed. Such was the elegance of her apartments, that the Ambassador of the Spanish monarch, on a visit he paid her, spat in the face of one of the servants, ex- cusing himself by observing, that it was the only place he could find fit for the pur- pose.——Iloscoe’s Leo X. REWARD or FLATTRRY.-—Fl‘edel‘lck Wil- liam, father of Frederick the Great of Prussia, painted, or fancied he painted ; but his works were mere daubs. Such, however, was not the language of his caur- tiers, when descanting on the merits of the royal Apelles. On one ocrasion, his Majesty favored them with the sight of'a new specimen. ‘ Suppose,’ said the King, ‘that some great painter, Rubens or Ra- phael, for instance, had painted this pic- ture ; do you think it would fetch a consi- derable price ?’ ‘ Sire,’ replied the Baron de Polnitz, who passed for the mast prac- tised and the most obsequious of his Ma- jesty’s courtiers. ‘ I assure your Majesty that a connoisseur could not offer less for such a picture than 25,000 florins.’ ‘ Well then, Baron,’ cried the gratified monarch, ‘you shall receive a proof of my munifi- cence. Take the picture for 5,000 florins, which you shall pay me in ready money ; and as I wish to render you a service, you have my permission to sell it again.’ ‘ Ah, sire,’ cried the Baron, who was fairly caught in his own snare, ‘ I can never con- sent to take advantage of your Majesty’s generosity.’ ‘ No reply,’ said the King; ‘ I know that I make you a handsome pre— sent, by which you will gain l5,000 florins or more. But your zeal for my interest has been proved, and I owe you some re- compense. Your love for the arts as well as your attachment to my person, entitle you to this mark of my esteem.’ FOR S ALE AT .1. ll.
