The attention of the world is now ex

hereditary family has before attained in
modern Europe and that whole continent
is watching her with an eye Of jealousy,

the line between them.
In comparing Russia to most Of the
great powers of Europe, she is still in her
infancy. England, France and Austria

COMIC MISERIES.
By JOHN O. SAKE.


My dear young friend, whose shining wit
Sets all the room ablaze,
Don't think yourself 'happy dog"
For all your merry ways; @
But learn to wear sober phiz,
Be stupid if you can,
It's SUCH a very serious thing
To be funny man!
You're at an evening party, with
A group of pleasant folks
You venture quietly to crack
The least of little jokes
A lady doesn't catch the point,
And begs you to explain
Alas for one who drops a jest
And takes it up again
You're talking deep philosophy
With very special force
To edify q clergyman
With suitable DISCOURSE
You think you've got him-when he calls,
A friend across the way,
And begs you'll say that funny thing
You said the other day.
You drop pretty jeu-de-mOt
Into q neighbor's ears,
Who likes to give you credit for
The clever thing he hears,
And so he hawks your jest about
The old, authentic one,
. Just breaking off the point of it,
And leaving cut the pun!
BY sudden change in politics,
Or sadder change in Polly,
You lose your love, or loaves, and fall
A prey to melancholy,
While everybody marvels why
Your mirth is under ban,-
They think your very grief 60 joke"
You're such funny man!
You follow up stylish card
That bids you come and dine,
And bring along your freshest wit,
Ito pay for musty wine,)
You're looking very dismal, when
My lady bounces in,
And wonders what you're thinking of,
And why you don't begin!
You're telling to knot of friends
A fancy-tale of woes
That cloud your matrimonial sky,
And Danish all repose,--
A solemn lady overhears
The story of your strife,
And tells the town the pleasant news;
You quarrel with your wife!
My dear young friend, whose shining wit
Sets all the room ablaze,
Don't think yourself "a happy dog"
For all your merry ways;
But learn to wear sober phiz,
Be stupid, if you can,
It's such very serious thing
To be funny man!
