THE GREAT MAGICIAN.
by JOHN @. SAKE.

Once whom a lad, IL was my hap.
To gain my mothers kind permission
To go and see II foreign chap
Who called himself "The Great Magician"
| recollect his wondrous skill
In divers mystic coniurations,
And how the fellow wrought at will
The most prodigious transformations.
recollect the nervous man
Within whose hat the great deceiver
Broke eggs, as in a frying pan,
And took em smoking from the beaver!
| rccollect the lady's shawl
Which the magician rent asunder,
And then restored; but best Of all
| recollect the Ribbon Wonder!
| mean, of course, the funny freak
In which the wizard. at his pleasure,
Spins lots of ribbons from his cheek,
Where he'd hid 'em Mt his lcisure);
Yard after yard, of every hue,
Come blazing out, and still the fellow
Keeps spinning ribbons, red and blue,
And black, aud white, aud green, and yellow
| nc'er shall see another show
To rank with the immortal Potters
He's dead and buried long ago,
And others charm our sons and daughters
Ncars-vcars have fled-alas how quick,
Since | beheld the Great Magician,
And yet I've seen the Ribbon-Trck
In many u curious repetition
Thus, when an author | have read
Who much amazed the world ot letters,
With gems his fluent pen has shed,
All nicely pilfered from his bettersG
Presto It's done land all complete
As in my youths enraptured vision,
I've seen again the Ribbon Feat,
And thought about the Great Magician!
So, when a sermon | have heard,
Made up of bits of borrowed learning,
Some cheap mosaic which has stirred
The wonder of the undiscerniug-
Swift as flash has memory then
Recalled the ancient exhibition
| saw the Ribbon-Trick again,
And thought about the Great Magician
So, when some hippant man-o' jokes,
Though in himself no Ounce was duller-
Has dazzled all the simple folks
With brilliant jests of every color
I've whispered thus-(whie fast and thick
The jewels flashed across my vision r.
" How well he plays the Ribbon Trick
BY Joye he beats the Great Magician!
ne'er shall see another show
To rank with the immortal d" POtters;
He's dead and buried, long ago,
And other wizards take the quarters
Years-years have fed--alas how quick,
Since beheld the Great Magician,
And yet I've seen the Ribbon-Trick
In many a curious repetition!

The SeCesh and German.

Among the patients in the General Hos
pital at Philadelphia, some months ago, was
a Scccsh soldier. He was grabbed and ill
natured, and when he was convalescent his
burlyness began to show itself in manner
not at all pleasing to his comrades.
In the same ward with him was a Union
solder-an adopted citizen, from the Old
Fatherland. One morning the German said
something to Secesh. Secesh vouchsafed
only to reply
go to hell!
DO yat?"
Secesh repeated his remark.
The German was not at all eXasperated.
