FALSTAFF    REDUCED.

This gentleman who, twenty-five years ago, com¬
menced at the bottom of the ladder, has, since that
time, been steadily Avorking his way up until at last
he reached the topmost round. The severe labor the
ascension entail,:d upoii him nearly reduced him to
the statue of a living skeleton; but, having set his life
upon a cast, as Falstaff, he has determined to stand
the hazard or die. What nature has denied him, is
up by anticipated aids, although he is rather too fine
drawn yet.
