A gentleman lias just uieu m i ana who owed most of his cclebrity to the quaint rnanner in which he mnunged to disembarrass hiniself of his creditors. No sooner did a dun present himself than he was ushered into a room huug round with a variety of mirrors, some convex, others concave, etc. In one the unf ortunate creditor boheld hiinself with a head as flat as a flomider, in anotlier his features were nearly as sharp as a knife, in a third he liad several heads, and in a f ourth he was npside down. Here he had the broad grin of a donrn, there tho longdrawn visage of an undertaker. On one side of the room lie saw himself all head and no body ; on the other side it seemed as if a dwarf had put on the boote of a giant. No applicant, liowever pressing, was known to reeist this chnmber of horrors for more than a quarter of an honr.
