Connaught Terrace, Aug. 31.
In Paris, when they break a window, the common people cry out, "quarante-cinq," so as to produce a sound, in a measure harmonizing with the accident. It is to them a capital joke, because quarante-cinq, (45) is written with the two figures that make "neuf" (that is, in French, either nine or new.) The pun is ingenious.
The worst of all knaves are those who can mimic their former honesty.—Lavater.
