DISOBEDIENCE.-Of man's first disobedience, and the fruit

Of that forbidden tree, whose mortal taste

Restore us, and regain the blissful seat,

Sing Heavenly Muse.

[This phrase is used for the first time by WASHINGTON IRVING, in the "Creole Village;" but Mr. Irving assures us that no irreverence was intended by him. Dickens makes use of the expression, without acknowledgment, in his American Notes, Chap. III. (Boston.) "The almighty wand" is a phrase used long ago by COWLEY in his poem on the plagues of Egypt, Line 45; and the late Mr. Serjeant Cockle, whose powers of persuasion were so great, obtained the appellation of "the almighty of the North."-Law and Lawyers, 204.]

DONE.-All may do, what has by man been done.

No man despairs to do what's done before.

HERRICK.-Hesperides, Aphorism, No. 142.
If it were done, when 'tis done, then 'twere well
It were done quickly: If the assassination
Could trammel up the consequence, and catch,
With his surcease, success; that but this blow
Might be the be-all and the end-all, here,
But here, upon this bank and shoal of time,
We'd jump the life to come.-But in these cases,
We still have judgment here, that we but teach
Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return
To plague the inventor: This even handed justice
Commends the ingredients of our poison'd chalice
To our own lips.-He's here in double trust:
First, as I am his kinsman and his subject,
Strong both against the deed; then, as his host,
Who should against his murtherer shut the door,
Not bear the knife myself.
