Title. A successive TITLE, long and dark,

Drawn from the mouldy rolls of Noah's ark.-DRYDEN, Absalom.

Tobacco.-Divine in hookahs, glorious in a pipe,

When tipp'd with amber, mellow, rich and ripe ;
Like other charmers, wooing the caress;
More dazzlingly when daring in full dress;
Yet thy true lovers more admire by far
Thy naked beauties-Give me a cigar!

BYRON, The Island, canto ii. st. 19.

Sublime TOBACCO! which from east to west
Cheers the tar's labour or the Turkman's rest.

Ibid., canto ii. st. 19.

Divine TOBACCO.-SPENSER, Fairy Queen, bk. iii. canto v. v. 32.

What a glorious creature was he who first discovered the use of
TOBACCO.-FIELDING, The Grub Street Opera, act iii. sc. i.

To be.-TO BE, or not to be; that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more and by a sleep to say we end

The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to,-'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;

To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect

That makes calamity of so long life:

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despis'd love, the law's delay,

The insolence of office, and the spurns

That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,-
The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns,-puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have,
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution

Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought;

And enterprises of great pith and moment,

With this regard their currents turn awry,

And lose the name of action.—SHAKESPERE, Hamlet, act iii. sc. 1.

To-day. Be wise TO-DAY; 'tis madness to defer.

YOUNG'S Night Thoughts, Night i. line 390.

Happy the man, and happy he alone,

He who can call TO-DAY his own:

He who, secure within, can say,

To-morrow, do thy worst, for I have liv'd to-day.

DRYDEN, Imitation of Horace, book i. ode 29, 1. 65.

Tomb.-E'en from the TOMB the voice of nature cries,
E'en in our ashes live their wonted fires.-GRAY, Elegy.

To-morrow. Boast not thyself of TO-MORROW, for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.-Proverbs xxvii. 1.

-

TO-MORROW is a satire on to-day

And shows its weakness.—DR. Young, Old Man's Relapse.

TO-MORROW, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,

To the last syllable of recorded time;

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle !
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

And then is heard no more: it is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.-SHAKESPERE, Macbeth, act v. sc. 5.

TO-MORROW to fresh woods and pastures new.

MILTON, Lycidas, 1. 193. Tongue. That man that hath a TONGUE, I say, is no man, If with his tongue he cannot win a woman.

Is to restreine, and kepen wel thy TONGE.

Why, if it prosper, none dare call it TREASON.

Ecclesiastes xi. 3.

SHAKESPERE, King Henry IV., part i. act ii. sc. 1.

Trifle. Think naught a TRIFLE, though it small appear;
Small sands the mountain, moments make the year,
And trifles life.-YOUNG, Love of Fame, satire vi. 1. 208.

Triton.-A TRITON among the minnows. A giant among pigmies. This is Shakesperian; but as the saying really is "Triton of the minnows," it has more of a satirical aspect than belongs to it as used by us. Triton was a sea deity-half man, half fish-who ruled

the waves at pleasure.

True blue.-Presbyterian TRUE BLUE.

BUTLER, Hudibras, part i. canto i. 1. 191.

As to be lov'd needs only to be seen.

Too rich a pearl for carnal swine.

'Tis strange-but true; for TRUTH is always strange; Stranger than fiction.-BYRON, Don Juan. canto xiv. st. 101.

TRUTH crushed to earth shall rise again :

The eternal years of God are hers;

But error, wounded, writhes with pain,

And dies among his worshippers.-BRYANT, The Battle-field.

TRUTH is as impossible to be soiled by any outward touch as the sunbeam.-MILTON, The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce.

Truth. Who ever knew TRUTH put to the worse, in a free and open encounter?—Ibid., Areopagitica.

Yet TRUTH will sometimes lend her noblest fires,
And decorate the verse herself inspires :

This fact, in Virtue's name, let Crabbe attest:
Though Nature's sternest painter, yet the best.

BYRON, English Bards, 1. 839.

I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smooth pebble, or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of TRUTH lay all undiscovered before me.-NEWTON. See BREWSTER's Memoirs of Newton, vol. ii. chap. 27.

Pilate saith unto him, What is TRUTH?

And fools, who came to scoff, remain'd to pray.

Tub. Every TUB must stand upon its own bottom.-RAY's Proverbs, BUNYAN, Pilgrim's Progress. MACKLIN, Man of the World, act i. sc. 2.

Tweedledum.-Some say, compar'd to Bononcini,

That Mynheer Handel's but a ninny;
Others aver that he to Handel

Is scarcely fit to hold a candle.

Strange all this difference should be

'Twixt TWEEDLEDUM and Tweedledee.

Union.-A song for our banner? The watchword recall

Which gave the Republic her station:
"United we stand-divided we fall!
It made and preserves us a nation!
The UNION of lakes-the union of lands-
The union of States none can sever-
The union of hearts-the union of hands-
And the Flag of our Union for ever!

When hearts were fresh and young,
When freely gushed all feelings forth

To which the UNWASHED artificer repairs.
