"Stolen Wit."

Our Jeff. neighbor, retorts on us for thinking that his readers would prefer an attack of "Psoriasis Septennis" to the twenty doses of "illustrations," by accusing us of stealing Sir Sidney Smith's "thundering wit!" and to prove it he publishes an anecdote last week of that gentleman, wherein it is related that he asked a lady (who prided herself on having rare plants and flowers with jaw-breaking names that she didn't know the meaning of-such, probably, as the "Sambucus Viger," &c.) if she had a "Psoriasis September?" Her answer was that she had just given it to a Catholic Bishop! Now, really, we cannot see or feel the point of his grave accusation-the similarity being only in the use of the same term by Mr. Smith and our-self. If, however, our neighbor insists on the similarity of the application of it to the lady's case and his own, we shall not object further than to aver that, unlike the lady, he still keeps the article on hand. We trust that notwithstanding he may feel sore under the infliction, he may be enabled to scratch away until he is satisfied. Go it, Jeemes!

-Why are the French and English like the Jeff.'s 20 "illustrations of Whiggery?" D'ye give it up. Because they are all-lies (allies)!

We accused our 'devil' with being an impertinent scamp for prescribing such an allopathic dose.
