THE GATHERER.

A snapper up of unconsidered trifles.

SHAKSPEARE.

Vivian Grey pronounces school ushers execrable wretches, because they wear pepper and salt pantaloons; Lady Morgan improves upon him, declaring the man who wears a white waistcoat in the morning, or the woman who curtsies at a drawing-room door, out of the pale of society. It is surprising that people will write such rubbish as this—more surprising that others will print it— most surprising that folks buy it—and as Cobbett would say, what surprises us "most of all," is that people read it.
