I remember a good joke in which a gentlemen whom I knew, connected with one of our newspapers, and a leading actress at the Theatre Royal, were concerned, in connection with a visit to the Sans Pareil. The lady was very desirous to see a piece which was got up with great eclat at the Sans Pareil, and which was attracting crowds of people to see it.
"Un jour, un individu etranger au camp l'arrete aver sa boite et lui dit: Qu'est-ce que vous avez donc serre la dedans? "Smiley dit d'un air indifferent: Cela pourrait etre un perroquet ou un serin, mais ce n'est rien de pareil, ce n'est qu'une grenouille. "L'individu la prend, la regarde avec soin, la tourne d'un cote et de l'autre puis il dit. Tiens! en effet! A quoi estelle bonne?

Le jour de la Chandeleur, les marchands me prévinrent que, l'après-dinée, il devoit y avoir au palais un office solennel pareil
The enemy had arrived four days before, and if the weather had allowed the troops to land, the most complete naval victory would have been too late to save the country. The fleet was prevented from putting to sea on that day by a succession of accidents, by which five of the heaviest ships were disabled before they could leave the harbour. The Prime missed stays, and fell on board the Sans Pareil.
Ecrivez-moi quelquefois, je vous prie, et croyez-moi affectueusement tout a vous, P.S. C'est ma fille Henriette qui me sert de secretaire pour ma correspondance comme pour mon histoire. Je n'en retrouverais nulle part un pareil. This letter, written by Mme. Guizot de Witt, was the last Reeve received from his old friend, who died at Val Richer on September 12th, in his 87th year.

Only the language of Venus could describe the charms and the wonders of Venus!
I was shown a copy of the last letter dictated by a young French officer, and I asked to be allowed to copy it it was indeed a letter of a "chic" type. Chers Parrain et Marraine, Je vous ecris a vous pour ne pas tuer Maman qu'un pareil coup surprendrait trop. J'ai ete blesse le ... devant ... J'ai deux blessures hideuses et je n'en aurai pas pour bien longtemps.
