The rainbow I'll straddle
And ride to the moon,
Or in the ocean I'll paddle
In the bowl of a spoon.
That won't hurt anybody. Go a-head, old chap—we
like to encourage a laudable spirit of adventure.
I'll set fire to the fountain,
And swallow up the fill;
I'll eat up the mountain
And be hungry still.
Goodness gracious! is there no way to appease his
wrath and stay his stomach? Must we suffer all this
because he and his girl haven't anything to say to each
other at present? No—ncver! Down with him—down
with him!

The rain shall fall upwards,
The smoke tumble down
I'll dye the grass purple,
And paint the sky brown.
Hear that! A pretty world this would be, truly, with
the rain falling up, the smoke tumbling down, the grass
dyed purple, and the sky painted brown! We might as
well live in an old boot, with a dirty sole for the earth
beneath, and brown upper leather for the heavens above.
The sun I'll put out,
With the whirlwinds play;
Turn day into night,
And sleep it away.
There is no doubt, if he cuts that caper, the sun will
feel as much " put out " about it as we shall. We leave
it to the whirlwinds to say whether they are to be
trifled with or not; and as for his turning day into
night, and sleeping it away, we would as lief he would
as not—if he can do it.

I'll flog the young earthquake,
The weather I'll physic;
Volcanoes I'll strangle,
Or choke with the phthisic.
Oh, oh! he dare not clinch in with an old he earthquake,
and so he threatens to flog a " young an" of the neuter
gender! Coward! why don't he take one of his own size!
The moon I will smother,
With nightmare and wo;
For sport at each other
The stars I will throw.
Serves e'm exactly right! they have no business to be
out when they ought to be a-bed.
The rocks shall be preachers,
The trees do the singing;
The clouds shall be teachers,
And the comets go spreeing.
That's all well enough, except getting the comets upon
a spree. We don't like that "pretty well."
I'll tie up the winds
In a bundle together,
And tickle their ribs
With an ostrich feather.
Oh, crackeys ; now he does it! We didn't think it lay
in the gizzard of mortal man to do half as mach. Really,
we think such a desperate and dangerous individual
ought to be caught, cast into a spider's web, and safely
guarded by one flee, two mosquitoes, and a vigilant
wood-louse. There is no knowing what the chap may do.

OLD CHURCH, LAMBETH.—The work of com-
pleting the internal fittings of this restored and chastely ele-
gant structure have been somewhat delayed by the compul-
sory absence, owing to severe indisposition, of the rector.
The galleries are in the course of construction, and the ap-
pliances for the hot-water apparatus for warming the church
nearly effected. By the new arrangement of the pews, no
less than 500 extra free sittings will be added to the number
which previously existed; and further, three pews on each
side of the centre isle, immediately below the reading-de.,k
and the pulpit respectively, will be devoted to the use of aged
and infirm poor, whose advanced years have brought upon
them deficiency of sight and hearing, and call for additional
care and comfort. A stained glass window, the donation of
the young gentlemen of the parish, of whom the son of Mr.
Churwarden Taylor was one, has already been perfected, and
but little doubt is entertained that the whole will be so filled.
En passant, we ought to mention that with respect to the
one over that part of the church known as the Howard
Chapel, a communication has been opened by the church-
wardens with the Duke of Norfolk, as the heal of the
Howard', Fleeing it at his disposal, should he be pleased to
devote it to an ancestral record. His Grace, we understand,
has directed inquiries by his agents, but as yet has not re-
turned a definite reply. A new marble font of stupendous
dimensions, and designed in exquisite taste, has been pre-
sented by Sir Charles Young, the Garter King of Arms, and
his brother, Dr. Young.
THE RAMSHAY INCJIRY.--PRESTON, Nov. 14.
The examination of witnesses on behalf of Mr. Ramshay was
resumed this morning. The public interest had so com-
pletely subsided that not more than fifty persons were in
attendance at the opening of the court. After our parcel
was dispatched yesterday, three other witnesses were brought
forward—Mr. Hughes, solicitor; Mr. Edward Willan, sta-
tioner, and Mr. .I,ohn. Forbes. Their evidence was in sub-
stance eorroboratii,e of that given by previous witnesses,
as to Mr. Ramshay's general ability and demeanour, which
was stated to be all that was befitting a judge. The evi-
dence adduced to-day was of a similar purport, and the wit-
nesses were still under examination when our parcel was
dispatched.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday an inquest was
held by Mr. Bedford, at the Charing-cross Hospital, on the
body of Mr. Henry Palmer Parry, aged sixty-one. The de-
ceased was town traveller to a wine merchant, in Tower-
Hung
street, and on last Fwhen an riday was crossing the Strand, opposite
erford-street, omnibus came up, and the
driver called out to him to get out of the way. A lady who
was with him reached the pavement, but he unfortunately
turned back and was knocked down by the pole of the car-
riage, the wheels passing over his stomach. He was taken
to the Charing-cross Hospital, and seen by Dr. Dalton, the
house-surgeon, who suspected that rupture of the bladder had
taken place, and he died on Tuesday. The jury returned a
verdict of " Accidental death." A party applied on the part
of the widow for a.return of the sum of 271., which the de-
ceased had with him at the time of the accident, but it ap-
peared the money had been paid to Mr. Parry's brother. The
coroner said he could offer ne advice, for he might have
made a will.
SUICIDE AT TorrExuAla.—Yesterday an inuest
was held by Mr. Baker, at the Bell and Hare, Tottenq
ham,
on view of the body of Mr. Thomas Tuck, aged 66, of High-
street, Tottenham. The deceased was surveyor of the local
board and tax-gatherer of the parish. He had for somei
past complained cf a pain in his head, which was at
inter-
vals so severe that it caused him to stagger whileawalking.
He was also very low spirited. On Wedunesehdeip

AN OULD AND DANGEROUS AMERICAN.
,(From the New York Mercury.)
There is a terrible fellow somewhere " down east,"
who ought not to be permitted to run loose. He threatens
to play strange pranks, and break things, all in conse-
quence of his faithless "gal." His first threat is,
I'll grasp the loud thunder,
With lightnings I'll play,
I'll rend the earth asunder
And kick it away.
That's attempting considerable for one man. However,
if he has a mind to take the responsibility and pay da-
mages, let him smash away; we are not afear'd. He
next says,
