LESBIA AND NORAH.

The song of the shepherd was heard thro' the vale,
And the willow was hearkening the rivulet's tale ;
The red am had sunk, save a hem of his glory.
And the far away hills in the twilight were hoary.
And Nature seemed wedded to Summer; the ring
Was the streamlet gold-surfaced; the bird on the wing
Was the melody breathed, and the sweetest of psalters
That e'er sang ofjoyousness sealed at the altars.

Lesbia, the lovely, was then in the grove
With Norah, whose heart was impregnate with love ;
When Lesbia said playfully, " Come let me tell,
With this buttercup, whether you like Butter well."
The Bodleian lore may treat of this fiction
Regarding the buttercup, bu: the restriction
Of custom says, "On with the story you're telling,
The art of relating is weariness quelling."
Fair Norah, whose eyes were like violets so blue,
With a neck that the snow cannot fully outdo ;
With a wit of expression no pencil can trace,
Bade Lesbia proceed with her buttercup case.
I eabia had lips like the " roses of Gal,"
With kisses upon them that craved you to cull;

And the dimple that larked in her dearest of chins
Suggested " Faint heart stvh a beauty ne'er wins."
So Lesbia applied the fair.yell3w leafsd test,
And eislaime I, " Of all things you like Butter the best."
Said Nora], "‘I live, 'mid the cows, where yon del, is,
Their milk is ambrosia—their Butter is KELLY'S,"

WHY ENGLISHMEN .ARE BELOVED UPON THE CONTINENT.

B, cause they always are so c3reful to abst tin from either
word or action, which, in any way, might hurt the feelings
of a foreigner. .

Because they never institute odious comparisons between
things in general abroad and those they've left at home,
unless, indeed it is to the disparagement of the latter.
Because they never brag about the " freedom of a British
subject," in countries which are under a despotic form of
government.
Because they speak so fluently in any cantinentel lan-
guep,-e, and always are so affable when publicly accosted by
a stranger. and so ready at all times to enter into conver-
sation with those they may be travelling with.
Because they don't bawl for beer at a first-class table
d'hote, nor make wry faces at the wine as though it
disagreed with there.
Bcause they never in the least let trifles put them out,
and however much thcv are annoyed, they do their utmost
to conceal it, instead of (as has been maliciously asserted)
seizing with delight on every opportunity to give their
temper vent, and express themselves dissatisfied with
everthing that's done for them.
Because whatever provocation they may think they
have received, they are so careful not to let strong language
pass their lips ; and, so far 'rom making extracts front the
Commination Service, are never heard to use an exclama-
tion more forcible than " Dear me I" or " Now really, how
provoking F'

A CHAPTER FROM THE ROMANCE OF CRIME.

At the Mansion House, London, on Tuesday, a young
man, who gave his age as 24 and his name as Richard John-
-8(.11, but who was said to be the son of a clergyman and
brother of a baronet, was brought before the Lord Mayor,
charged with stealing a bag, value 25., from a shop door in
Gracechurch-street,

Evidence as to the robbery having been given, he was
aiilied in the usual way what he had to say.
Prisoner: I admit I am guilty, but I really do not know
how I came to do it, for I am not in the habit of getting
my living in this way, I aF3ure you.
The Mayor : You lock like a sailor ; have you been to
sea?

Prisoner : Yes.
Lord Mayor : Where did you come from last ?
Prisoner : I came last from Australia, in the Argo.
Lord Mayor : When was that ?
Prisoner : I think it was last May.
Lord Mayor : List May ! that is a long while ago.
What have you been doing since ?
Prisoner : I have been living on some money of my own.
Lord Mly.)r : Where did you get it ?
Prisoner : It was left me by my father.
L-.:rd Mayor : How much was it ?
Prisoner : My father left me £6OO, I believe, but I only
got -..E120. I was swindled out of the rest.
Mr. Goodman (chief clerk): But your father's not dead
What did the chaplain tell you when you were at Hollo-
way ?

Prisons: (ccnfusedly): I don't know. He told me a
good many things ; but I have always been told that my
father is dead.
Lord Mayor : How long has he baen deal ?
Prisoner : I don't know. I did not live with him. I
left him when very young, and lived with my mother.
Lord Mayor : But your father was a clsrgynaan, was he
not ?

Prisoner (hesitatingly): I believe he was, but I cannot
recollect, sir.

Lord Mayor : I have reason to believe thathe is not dead.
Prisoner : Yes, ho is dead, or, at least, I have always
been taught to believe so.
A. gentleman in court here stepped forward and said,
" Yes, my lard, his father is dead, he has been so for 15 or
1G years."]

Lord Mayor : Then you know something about the
prisoner ?
'Witness : Yes, my lord, I communicated with the chief
clerk about him when he was here bafue.
Lord Mayor : flow long age is that ?
Prisoner : About four months, I think.
Mr. Goodman : Ha was here for stealing a pocket-book.
Lord Mayer : And was his father a clergyman ?
Witness : Yes, my lord, a clergyman and a baronet.
(Sensation.)
Lord Mayor : See seta, a condition you now stand in, a
man connected as you are, and well educated. I can'
understand it.
Prisoner (despondingly) : No, my lord, I can't under_
stand myself how it is that I do such things.
The Lord Mayor : Well I shall remand you till to-
morrow ; and perhaps you eir (addressing the gentleman
will had iuterpcsed), will give me a call to-morrow, early.
The gentleman said he should be happy to do so, and
the prisoner was taken below.
The gentleman then went to speak to the Lord Mayor
a few minute, after which the prisoner was brought back,
and again placed at the bar.

Lord Mayor : I know OoNv all about you, and I find that
you have had plenty of money dating the last month, but
that you have been a disgrace to your family•eiuce your

Which really ou _ lit to be in the hands of every one who values
a good coant-nance, of which the Teeth is the greatest
ornament. We have also seen some specimens of Artificial
Teeth, manufactured by Messrs. Gabriel, on an entirely new
Principle. They resemble the natural ones, with a degree o f
accuri.cv hitherto unattainable. Parties having had Sets of

,ENGLISH TRAVELLERS AND ROMAN BRIGANDS.-01
Monday evening at seven o'clock, a vetturino carriage was
plodding its weary tray from Civita Vecchia towards
Rome, and had reached a spot four miles on this side of
Palo, when its further progress was opposed by seven
bandits armed with bludgeons, pistols, and daggers, who
stopped the vehicle, and proceeded to rifle the passengers,
consisting of Dr. Connolly, Roman Catholic Bishop of
Halifax, on his way to Rome to pay homage to the supreme
head of the church, Mr. Blake, and Mr. and Mrs. Harper.
The bishop was eased of £l4O, beside his episcopal chain
and cross, and the pastoral ring, a fine emerald, which 111
wore according to custom. Mr. Blake, feeling greatly
averse to submitting to spoliation, in his turn manfully
resisted the outlaws' invitation to stand and deliver, but
he was finally overpowered by numbers, after being severely
beaten and after having had a pistol presented at his head,
which fortunately missed fire. Mr. and Mrs. Harper were
robbed of their watches, chains and purses, and altogether
the plunder realised by the marauders may be valued at
about 1,000 midi, or ever £2OO.

HEAR ! HEAR ! ! HEAR !! !

Mv name is KELLY. Near the famous square,
Surnamed Willainson, some time I've held
My levees daily, for the lit supply
Of those who Butter buy "to sell again."
My youth, directed by a father's care,
In other and less genial climes was spent;
But 1 had heard of tradesmen, and I longed
To be a tradesman also, and excel
Tha puny efforts of competitors.
LiverpJol, that i yLe of modern times,
As yet had had no proper Butterraan !
I saw the need, and clashing to the breach—
Like Qu'ntus Curtius to ti.e Forum's gulf—
Resolved t' supply the want, or fall in the attempt.
Now have I been in business many a month,
And each succeeding month more hug than the last;
Exertion well directed must succeed,
If backed with s'uff unequcaed in its kind,
So all who Butter want "to sett again," your cry
Be "KELLY ! BUTTER l ! and the BUTTER PLACE!! !"
