Thjttghts about Coals. — Coals arriving in London are like disobedient apprentices — they are first whipped, then' sacked. Coals differ from most other articles of merchandise, for they are no sooner delivered to the buyer than they go to the cellar. A. ton of coals makes twenty hundred- weight ; but coals ordered from the Railway Company makes many thousands wait, so long have the public to order them beforehand. Coala in the fire are a light ; but the barge thab brings them up the river is a lighter. Coals are not like the object of your affections — the dearer they are to you, the colder you become. Bad coals are like bad husbands— they smoke, are always going out, and do not keep' the pot boiling.
