And waits for the tardy beauX;
She plays With her little fingers,
And trots with her little toes

Some delicate kind Of treat,
OF creams and various jellies,
For her daughters beaux to cat

MORAL PHmosoPHY.-A western paper makes
the following suggestions in relation to Capital
Punishment:
There is one serious objection to Capital
Punishment that we have never seen presented,
and that is query of this kind What bust
ness has this world to rid itself of nuisances at
the expense of some other world? We COM
plain of the old countries for sending the scum
of their population here, and make it a law in
this country that every town shall support its
own paupers; and is it not then scurvy trans
action to ship bad men to foreign shores in the
unknown world! If hanging were humiliation,
it might be justifiabe on the principle of sacri-
fcing the less TO the greater but If it only turns
the man loose somewhere else, we should find
out first whether he is wanted where he is sent
1t is possible, at least that he is forced on soc-
ETY. that have no more relish for him, than those
who see fit to expel him. We should have too
much regard for this possibility to vote for Cap
ital Punishment.

Yesterday body of police, consisting Of sim
gle constable, acting on his own warrant on be-
half of the Secretary of State, entered Punch's
office, to search for a quantity of explosive mat
ter. l
He was informed that the periodical was not
a magazine, and contained nothing calculated to
cause an explosion more dangerous than burst
of laughter
On wanting to know if any gunpowder was
concealed on the premises, he was offered a cup
of tea, which-oontained all that was left in damp
state.
Demanding whether there was in the estab-
lishment any composition for filling rockets, he
was answered in, the negative, and assured that
the only fireworks dealt in at 50 Fleet street,
were squibs.
Having with some difficulty apprehended a
joke, the police retired.
