Buckle's stiffness was so great that it wa« with difficulty, and at first only with the assistance of three or four men — one helping him yp^. one on the other side keeping tho saddle straight, one holding 1 ! the animal in case of fright — that lie mounted the donkey. For this donkey he conceived a great affection. And the mokes of Egypt are so su perior to all other donkeys that they cannot justly be called by tho name of " ass ;" and it was by the more endearing name of "moke" they were celebrated in an EpiniUiau ode by a Pindar of my ucqu.iitt.iuce. Mr. Buckle's costume was an old black dress-coat his butler, he said,- would not have worn, a double breasted cloth waistcoat, and winter tiouser-*, all ovei thick flannel undpr-garments ; a wideawake, with an ample pujrgery, crowned his spate, stooping figuie, covered his bald head, and shaded his unshaven f.ice. He often fuither endeavoured to protect himself from the sun in a black burnous. T hinted once th.it all this was rather warm clothing for the Arabian deserts. He replied that, .though the commoner sort of Aiabs certainly wore nothing but a short shn t, yet the great chiefs had several robes. Which was tiue, only they were of light silk, and flowing round the person. Though, of course, a flannel shirt to pi event chills is a necessary precaution, it is to be regietted Mr. Buckle would never make any change in the above attire, as induced the most excessive penpiration, and by thus weakening him prepared the end. " Late Laurels"goes on smoothly enough. Its characters are as brilliant as ever and make the same pi'oportion of jokes, more or less good generally in French, which, we cannot say, we think any improvement upon a good English joke, although possibly a little wit goes farther in that way. It is some satisfaction to find that Charles, who is painfully weak and soft, is not married to tho real heroine, Margaret, who i<3 worth so many dozens of him, that it is provoking she should ever have had such bad taste as to waste a thought upon him. We dont suppose Charles will ever win Laurels, late or early, and rather suspect Erie is the destined winner of tho victor's wreath.
