THOMAS HOOD'S GRAVE.—The publication
in Eliza's Cook's Journal of" Lines writtel at Kensall-green
‘einetry," has induced num, rous rea.oers 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 echocd above " Hood's Comio
% rinse," from the lips of all classes. For many a year he cheered
our Christmas firesides with racy humour, that never wearied by
4s frivolity nor offended by its coarseness. Far and wide was ho
known as the Poet of Mirth: but the higher developmer't of his
zerflus and the noble, purpose of his muse were shown in suer
dorious hymns as " The Song of the Shirt" and the " Bridge of
-sighs." These who have read either of these poems will acknow-
ieske that such a man deserves to have a mark upon his sleeping-
tilace, so that it mav be forori wit out the heir) of a grave-yard
,ervaist, and ail who have laughed at his inimi'ahle 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
tie ing 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
ieeretary.
Subserptions will be received by Mr. William Strudvvicke, at the
whittington Club, Amend 1-street, Ltrand ; at the office of Eliza
rook's Journal, 3, Eaquet-court, Fleet-street: by Miss Eliza Cook,
it, Great Ormonde-str,•et, Bloomsbury; and by Mr. John Watkins,
34, Parliament-street, 'Westminster.
Post-office orders may he made payable to the Treasurer or Sec.
