GRAMMATICAL. SNORING.

As smoking Is an innocent indulgence
and rs IT is customary With all people to
relate the news of the day, with cigars in
their mouths aud as the generality Of
smokers make an awkward appearance,
IN consequence of the theory OF pnnctua-
ton in smoking, the following system is re
commended
A single puff, serves for a comma;
Pah, pun, semcolon
Pun, pull, puff colon
Six pafs, a period.
A pause with cigar kept in the month
represents dash - longer o. shorter
IN continuance.
With the under lip raise the cigar almost
against the nose far an exclamation AID
Ia express great emotion, even to the she'd
ding of tears, only raise as before the cigar
To the end ofihe nose.
Tor an Interrogation it ia only neres-
safy to open the lips and draw the cigar
round the corner of the mouth.
Taking the cigar from the nouth and
shaking the ashes from the end is con-
clusion of paragraph.
And throwing it in the fire is final and
stylish pause.
Never begin a story with half smoked
cigar for TO light another while CONVEX
sing, Is not oaly breach of politeness, but
laterieres with the above system of pune
tuatina, which destroys all energy aud har-
mooy of expression.

TRIUMPH or THE DRAMA.

In early times. within their sacred shades
Once met Apollo With the AoDsn maids
And every Muse there urged The separate claim
of her own art to bear superior fame.
Amid the train the Tragic muse revered
Arose, and thus the Dramas cause preferred.
Gaze on yon lofty hill where Athens lies;
There mid my temples Bschylus shall rise;
see him now amid the Titan powers.
Like one of their own mighty race he towers,
As wild in strength, rs terribly sublime,
As those dark Dees OF ancient time.
Such chilling terrors round him wait,
The boldest blood of Greece runs cold,
As the deep direful scenes OF fate
His giant powers unfold
Then rise two rival bsrds of different mier;
One like a fair-proporoscd temple seen
Mid consecrated woods and heroes tombs;
The other wider. IKE some shad0wy bower
Formed by the waving cypress.tree tbst booDs
In sad luxuriance o er some ruined tower.
For many an sgc each gifted son
Appears 10 my Tar seeing eye,
Like the bright stars that one by ono
Burst through the evening sky.
Al last they sink in gathering clouds,
And long night the world in darkness shrcGdul
Light beams al length appalled, sec
The Dramas sacred temples crushed;
And al! that tod man once was tree
And glorious--crumbled 10 the dust
ye, DER us triumph not, ye sister train,
For where our fallen shrines arise again
hail the glory of prouder name
Than classic Greece or Rome shall ever claim!
Shaksreare view thee now in my prophetic dream,
Beside thy native Avon's silver stream;
hear thy music in the island air
As powerful as the bird OF Jove we're there;
As wild as the lone mermaid's tupefui wait,
Ana sweeter than the rich.voIced nightingale.
Hail mighty Shakespeare Hail thou bard divine
The Dramas heavenly MUSES. bon are thine.
j aid thee when thou givest The demon-force
of passion self-impeled from Nature's courses
I point the mad Otheilo's jealous sword,
rouse the unquiet ghos, Of Denmark's Lord.
4 wet the trembling Macbeths mu derons brand,
And bid the sccptle shake in Richard guilty hsnu
Thalia too her spirit gives to thee
In scenes that wakcn VISIONS seIfto g'ee

apollo hears. and givea the Dramas art
Superior praise DER all. The Nine DEPART

Some to fair Tcmpc's lonely valley Zee,
And while their fingers ply their golden Tyres,
