QUAINT SAYING ON A MEMBER OF THE OLD HOUSE OF KEYS.

" Bee oo goll as dty vussal bane ort as cha bee veg ayd dy ghra agh."—" I am agreeable."
Which may be thus rendered :—" Thou will be going with thy white handkerchief on thee, and thou will have nothing to say but—’ I am agreeable."
This was in allusion to the easy way some of the members were led without expressing an opinion of their own. The first reformed House is no improvement in this respect.
