THOMAS HOOD'S GRAVE.—The publication
in Eliza's Cook's Journal of" Lines written at Kensall-green
Cemetry," has induced num, roux 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
Anneal," from the lips of all classes. For many a year he cheered
our Clar;stmas firesides with racy humour, that nester wearied by
its frivolity nor offended by its eoarsenees. 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
rlorious 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 ram(' wh..out the help or a grave-yard
servaat, and all who have laughed at his inlmVable 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 thing 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, Arund,l-street, Strand ; at the office of Eliza
Cook's Journal, 3, Raquet•court, Fleet-street ; by Miss Eliza Cook,
54, Great Ormonde-street, Bloomsbury; and by Mr. John Watkins,
