LOVE AT TWO SCORE.
Ho pretty page with dmpled chin,
That never has known the BARRIERS shear,
All your aim is woman TO win;
This is the way that boys begin.
Wait till you've come to forty year!
IA Curly gold locks cover foolish brains,
Billing and cooling is all your cheer,
Signing and singing of midnight strains
Under Bonnybells' window pancs.
.s, Wait till you've come to forty year
Forty times over let NIichaemas pass
Grizzling hair the brain doth clear;
Then you know boy is an ass,
Then you know the worth Of lass,
Once you have come to forty year.

ALI good fellows whose boards are grey,
Did not the fairest of the fair
Common grow, and wearisome, ere

May pray and whisper and we not list,
Or look away and never be missed,
Ere yet ever month was gone

How / loved her twenty years Syuet
Marian married, but sit here,
Alive and merry at forty year,
Dipping my nose in The Gascon wine.

fall of the curtain says the Times applause OF
the audience was tumultuous and cries for Mrs.
Mowatt, who had not acted in the piece, were
raised on every side. She was led on by Mr. Da.
venport, and seemed much overcome by the en-
thusiastic reception of her work. The house was
crowded in every part and from the novelty of its
character, and the evident satisfaction it gave,
there is little doubt that Fashion will for some time
prove attractive"
Miss VANDENHoFF, after several years retirement,
has returned to the stage, having appeared at Drury
Lane in her fsvorito character of Pauline, in Sir
