Thomas Hood, our old and very facetious
acquaintance, whose merry conceits we have lately met with
less frequentlr than we desired, we are glad to hear is about
starting a net;,, career of fun, pun, and good humoured satire,
in a series of articles to appear in " Coiburn's New Monthly
Magazine," commencing with the number for August, under
the attractive title of c, Rhymes for the Times, and Reason for
the Season," wherein he proposes to fling his jests at all things
worthy of such pellets; and a liberal, and it may surely be
added in these dull tit-I'l6, a seasonable display of his most effec-
tive "hits" may be expected.
A waggish friend of ours perceived that his pri-
vate drawer had been tampered with, if not opened. He said
nothing; but simply wrote on a slip of paper, " Some d—d
rascal has been opening my drawer," and placed it on the top of
the papers in the drawer. The next morning his valet ap-
peared very sulky, and ont of humour, for which his master
could not account. At last he said in a g!oorny tone. lam
sure I did'nt open your drawer."
