Harpagon hide beneath a horsehair wig,
Sangrado thrive on flattery and shrewd knack.
And Dulcamara, safe in silence, quack;
But—chortle, oh ye good, rejoice, ye wise!—
Physic and Law will never—Advertise!
"THE PARIAH."—In the latest copy to hand of that wonderful penn'orth of gossip and information, Sala's Journal, Vol. I. No. 16, and in the very first line of the light and leading article, our "G.A.S." asks "Is Woman a Pariah?" Of course she is not, we reply, not even if she be the very masculinest of females. Some, if they are "Riahs" at all, are "Ma-riahs." "Riah," it may be remembered, is the abbreviated form of the name as in the once popular Coster's song of "What cheer Riah?" Whether spelt with or without an "h" is of no consequence, the Coster not being particular.
