PIIOTOGRAPIIY.

A couple of travellers
Were makirig their way ;
Their profession, you'd say,
At a single glance, did not admit of a query ,
The smart cap, white apron, and smooth face,
With scarce an exception—by all Edward's men
Blue jacket, loose trousers " bows'd up together'
Guiltless of braces, as those of Charles Wetherall;
The Pigeon-toed step, and the rollicking motion,
Caused them to resemble two sons of the ocean.
The cove in advance was sturdy and strong,
With arms uncommonly bony and long;
Then his Guernsey shirt
Showed not one speck of dirt

worn the

That—these men would think inconvenient and wrong.
He was very broad-breasted,
And very deep-cl.csted ;
And his muscular frame correspond with the rest did,
Except as to height, for he could not be more
At the most, you 'Would say, - than some five feet fear,
And if measured, perhaps had been found a thought lower_
Dame Nature in fact,—whom some person or other,
—A poet—has called a "capricious step-mother,"
You saw when beside him,
Had somehow denied him,
In longitude what she had granted in latitude,
A trifling defect,
You'd the sooner detect,
'Cause he never contracted a stoop in his attitude.
Square-built and broad-shouldered, good-humour'd and gay,
With his collar and countenance open as day,
The latter—('twas marked with four eyes by the way)—
Had a sort of expression goodwill to bespeak ;
He'd a smile in his eye, and a "quid" in his cheek
And, in short, notwithstanding his failure in height,
He was just such a man as you'd say, at first sight,
You would much rather dine, or shake hands with, than fight
The other (his much-esteemed foreman) was taller,
By four or five inches at least, than the smaller.
From his air and his mien,
It was plain to be seen,
That he was, or had been,
A something- between
Thereal "Jack Tar' and the " Jolly Marine."
For though he would give an occasional hitch,
Sailorlike, tohis "brecx," there was something the which.
On the whole, savour'd more of lump butter than pitch.
You will probably now wish their two names to know,
The first is —" the" Kelly, the second is Joe.
• Not baecy, but a sly hit at the Butterman's propensity fir
quotations, "qui quae quod tel quid."

Sir,—After what transpired before me at the
Police Court, on Friday last, in the case of the poor
woman "Fagan," I object to my name being any-
longer used in connection with the " Liverpool Vic-
toria Legal Burial Society," of which you are the
President. I therefore require you at once to erase

_ .
ment in which I am made to appear as patronising
my name from the cards, and from every doe,u-
the association. Should it hereafter appear that
any document has been issued having my name
attached thereto, as identifying me with the asso-
ciation, in any manner whatsoever, after this
notice, I will immediately institute legal pro-
ceedings against the office bearers of the society_
—Yours, &C., ROBERT HUTCIIISON.
To Mr. Daniel &Hanlon, President,

THE sToRY OF THE PANTOMIME.

Once upon a.tirne there was a certain Queen, whose name was
Goldenwiug,. and who had a very large family of daughters. Her
husband having long since been dead, the family was a source of
great anxiety to her, and she kept them at home, as well as she
could, in a beautiful bower of roses and Mlles. Her eldest daughter,
the fair Brillianta, was so exceedingly handsome that she attracted
the notice of Prince Eblis, who sought her hand, but was rejected,
not only by the young lady, but by her mother and all the
family. Shortly. afterwards the Prince Peacock, a gay bachelor,
whose, domain joined that of the Queen Goldenwing, becoming
tired of single blessedness, proclaimed that he would give a
grand ball, and invited everybody, far and near, in the hope
that from amongst the ladies he might select a wife. The
fair Brillianta, with all her sisters, went to the Prince's ball,
where be at once became enamoured of her, and arrangements
or their marriage were being made by Queen Goldenwing,
when . Prince Eblis, hearing of this, became so enraged that,
while the Queen was at the Palace of Prince Peacock, having sent
her children home to the Bower, he resolved to burn that beautiful
place ,to the ground, and all the family in it. Fortunately the
fair Brillianta remained with the Prince, carefully enclosed in a
large and lovely rose, to guard her from harm. As the Queen and

the Prince were looking front the battlements of the Palace at a
great comet which appeared at that time, a lurid light was
observed in the sky, while voices in the air warned the Queen of
what was doing by singing, " Ladye Bird, Ladye Bird, fly away
home, your house is on fire, your children at home." On hearing
this the Queen became alarmed, and, with the Prince and her
daughter, attended by the Double-faced Guards, who never turned
their backs on an enemy, because they could not, flew to the scene
of the conflagration, where, in spite of the exertions of the good

fairy firemen, the Prince and his Guards were completely -van-
quished by Prince Elbis, and Brillianta was nearly, in his power
when King Fog, who had one night protected some of the little
ladye•bird children of Goldenwing, when they had stayed out too
late and become lost in his mists, suddenly appeared, and, calling

1 a shower of rain, not only extinguished 'the flames c
g Bower; but so befriended Prince Peacock and the fai
that they eventually became united and lived hapr
