PLAY BILL.
(_Translated from the Spanish_.)
To the sovereign of heaven,
To the mother of the eternal world,
To the Polar Star of Spain,
To the faithful protectress of the Spanish nation,
To the honour and glory of the most Holy Virgin Mary,
For her benefit, and for the propagation of her worship,
The company of comedians will this day give a representation of
the comic piece called Manine.
The celebrated Italian will also dance the Fandango,
and the theatre will be superbly illuminated.

"_Write your name at full length_ the _first_ time you order any thing
which you ought to pay for, that the person so employed or ordered may
have no difficulty of applying (legally) if necessary for payment."--_The
advice of one who from a common soldier died in opulence honestly gained
by trade_.

A French philosopher placed a statue in his hall, under which was the
follow-distich:--
"Whoever you be, Sir, pray take off your castor;
For this is, or has been, or will be your master.
