When a Grand Vizier is favourably deposed, that is, without banishing or
putting him to death, it is signified to him by a messenger from the

TIME.
It is the remark of a sensible authoress, (Miss Hawkins,) that every
_day_ resembles a _trunk_ which has to be filled; and when we fancy that

remark not less striking than quaint.
