This communieat'on, taking it ill together, is a most delectable specinei of eleiant phrascolozy; find, although it bituns hut dimly in history and argument, yet in fig ures and cnrsing it shines most brilliantily. It concludes with this elisical (potation: "To use the langunge of a fellow-citize-n, the old Gentleman, Jerome, has a fine horse hut is a d1-n hd rider.' " Practice does not indeed claim to have originated this beautiful figure, but awcribcs it to one of our fellow-citizens. Who this fellow Citizen is, I know not, but I would say to him, in the l;ingtage of Cutry, in his prayer fur the cook-woman, "The Lord have mercy uppon our fellow citizen." Practice admtuits that Jeromie has a fite horse, but say< he "is a c-n had rider." This was an unfortiuate conplimnetnt for Practice,-a dangerqus blow which ie aims at Jerome. TI us' a homely r.,nse. he struck at the coon. and killed his dog. I reciprocate his kindness with all possible good will, but must be allowed to vary the compliment a little. I'ractice is no doubt an elegant rider, but of all the beasts thit mortal man ever did bestride, I think his is the worst. I know the old horse well; hiis name is Tar..r. Were I to attempt to give you a description of hinil do not know that I could do better than to borrow Dr. Bat's description of his Jack ass, alias "Vespertilio horribilis Amnericanuts,"n% hich runs thus, "greatest length eleven feet, height six, colour aahy plumbus, ears none at all, horns long & branchi,, eyes fierce. fiery, and rolling." lie has much celeirity in the annals of both this co intry and Eu rope, as a race loirse, particularly as a political cider inag. Candidates are re m-irkahly fond of riding hims in their little party eontests;especially, if they are any wsay donbful as to their owtitnerits. And it is astonishing with what facility he car ries a squad of candidates about the Dis trict. What renders it more astouishing still is. that (they say.) lie setrce'ly eats any thing. But then. they say, the way he drinks is awful. He is frequtently ex. hibited at muster grouids. and other bm! lie places, where sometimes, if you were to judge from the noise he tmtakes. vout might itmagine that. like Jo:s's war-l:orse, "his neck was clothed in thiitier. and Ithe glorv of his nostrils was terrible."
