(To the Editor of the Mirror.)

Sir,—­In the distich you have quoted from my Lectures at page 143 of your last MIRROR, it should have been stated that the statue was a Cupid.  The original lines (Voltaire’s) are—­

  Qui que tu sois, voici ton maitre,
  Il l’est, le fut, ou le doit etre.

B. H. SMART.

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.
