I.uoIFEa. Not since have been lord and master
here,
Which has been many, many long year,
Ger since | was from the Garden driven
Because Eve devoured the fruit forbidden,
And told, like all women prone to tatte,
persuaded her to eat the appe,)
Have been so happy as now am
At my late advces by telegram
From agents in the North; who write to tell
That all my plots and plans are working well
To spread my infiucnce--my power to swell
Till earth is turned into a second He'll
BY Ned that was splendid scheme, swear
When for the South began TO despair,
TO send minions Of the X g. G. forth
To breed war and dissension in the North.
I'll be twice paid for the lucky trial.
For the South is mine beyond denial
And as for my favorite X. G. C's.
The fault will not be mine Is they eer freeze.
Some Of the Order must soon be consigned
To US, and they must a warm welcome find.

For the first visitor who shows his face.

And my reputation as host is at stake;
Then heat up He'll to ten times present heat
Blow every flame till red hot is my seat

Some other fuel of a hotter kind
Than that we use it gives so little heat,
That I frequently suffer of cold feet.
Well; now it is time for my accustomed doze,
But first I'll take horn-aud now here goes

Great guns what's up? It's hot. BY the

I'm all in state Of perspiration--
Open some window, or open some door,
Or shall faint right here upon the floor.
Enter Sydney Johnson
SYDNEY. If your majesty's face doth truth con-
fess,
You have now heat enough for once guess.
When left you, my lord, at yoar request,
To make the place right hot, did my best;
But it seemed in vain that | fired and fired,
could not make the heat that you desired.
just at that time heard the great hall bell
Reverberate through the courts of He'll;
went to the gatcs--let in two three,
Who introduced themselves as IL. u. @.
told them to come in and seats to take
While / commenced again the iiucs to rake.
As / continued still the flames to feed
Two drew from their coats paper each TO read:
But sitting near the fire, the draft made strong
By gust of wind drew both papers along.
Instantly, such cracking and
never had heard in He'll before.
The heat was such, the thermometer plate
Could not the temperature indicate.
And I'm afraid if it hotter grows
1t will melt our furnace of asbestos.*

names--the names.
