THOMAS HOOD'S GRAVE.—The publication
in Eliza's Cook's Journal of" Lines written at Kensall-green
Cemetry," has induced numerous readers to express an earnest de-
sire to assist in raising a fund for the purpose of placing a memorial
over the remains of" Poor Hood."
Many a burst of merriment has echoed above " Hood's Comic
Annual," from the lips of all classes. For many a year he cheered
our Christmas firesides with racy humour, that never wearied by
its frivolity nor offended by its coarseness. Far and wide was ho
known as the Poet of Mirth: but the higher development of his
genius and the nobler purpose of his muse were shown in such
glorious hymns as " The Song of the Shirt" and the " Bridge of
Sighs." Those who have read either of these poems will acknow-
ledge that such a man deserves to have a mark upon his sleeping-
place, so that it may be found wit, out the help of a grave-yard
servant, and all who have laughed at his inimitable wit, or sighed
over his human tenderness, are now earnestly solicited to spare
what they can in aid of a purpose which Is alike praiseworthy in
the living and due to the dead.
At the request of the committee, Miss Eliza Cook has consented
to be Treasurer to the fund, and Mr. John Watkins to be Honorary
Secretary.
Subscriptions will be received by Mr. William Strudwicke, at the
Whittington Club, Arundel-street, Strand ; at the offipe of Eliza
Cook's Journal, 3, Raquet-court, Fleet-street ; by Miss Eliza Cook,
54, Great Ormoncle•street, Bloomsbury ; and by Mr. John Watkins,
34, Parliament-street, Westminster.
Post-office orders may be made payable to the Treasurer or Sec.
