EXTRAX:—­

“Wen I anounced in the Servnts All my axeshn of forting, and that by the exasize of my own talince and ingianiuty I had reerlized a summ of 20,000 lb. (it was only 5, but what’s the use of a mann depreshiating the qualaty of his own mackyrel?)—­wen I enounced my abrup intention to cut—­you should have sean the sensation among hall the people!  Cook wanted to know whether I woodn like a sweatbred, or the slise of the breast of a Cold Tucky.  Screw, the butler, (womb I always detested as a hinsalant hoverbaring beest,) begged me to walk into the Hupper Servnts All, and try a glass of Shuperior Shatto Margo.  Heven Visp, the coachmin, eld out his and, & said, ’Jeames, I hopes theres no quarraling betwigst you & me, & I’ll stand a pot of beer with pleasure.’

“The sickofnts!—­that wery Cook had split on me to the Housekeeper ony last week (catchin me priggin some cold tuttle soop, of which I’m remarkable fond).  Has for the butler, I always EBOMMINATED him for his precious snears and imperence to all us Gents who woar livry (he never would sit in our parlor, fasooth, nor drink out of our mugs); and in regard of Visp—­why, it was ony the day before the wulgar beest hoffered to fite me, and thretnd to give me a good iding if I refused.  Gentlemen and ladies,’ says I, as haughty as may be, ’there’s nothink that I want for that I can’t go for to buy with my hown money, and take at my lodgins in Halbany, letter Hex; if I’m ungry I’ve no need to refresh myself in the kitching.’  And so saying, I took a dignified ajew of these minnial domestics; and ascending to my epartment in the 4 pair back, brushed the powder out of my air, and taking off those hojous livries for hever, put on a new soot, made for me by Cullin of St. Jeames Street, and which fitted my manly figger as tight as whacks.

“There was one pusson in the house with womb I was rayther anxious to evoid a persnal leave-taking—­Mary Hann Oggins, I mean—­for my art is natural tender, and I can’t abide seeing a pore gal in pane.  I’d given her previous the infamation of my departure—­doing the ansom thing by her at the same time—­paying her back 20 lb., which she’d lent me 6 months before:  and paying her back not only the interest, but I gave her an andsome pair of scissars and a silver thimbil, by way of boanus.  ‘Mary Hann,’ says I, ’suckimstancies has haltered our rellatif positions in life.  I quit the Servnts Hall for ever, (for has for your marrying a person in my rank, that, my dear, is hall gammin,) and so I wish you a good-by, my good gal, and if you want to better yourself, halways refer to me.’
