Z ANEW POET LAUREATE.

Thackeray's Magazine, in London, paid
Tennyson, the Poet Laureate of England,
sixteen hundred dollars for poem, and
the following two stanzas are just one
half of it, or eight hundred dollars
worth:
What docs little birdie say
In her nest at peep OF day!
Let me fly says little birdie
Mother, let inc hy away.
Birdie, rest a little longer,
Till thy tiny wings are stronger;
So she rests little longer
Then she hieS away
What does little baby say,
In her bed at peep OF dayt
Baby SAYS. like little birdie,
Let me rise and haste away
Baby, sleep a little longer,
Until your little legs grow stronger;
And after waiting, like the birdie,
Baby, too, shall fly away.
Isn't that grand? Isn't it the quint-
essence of poetry? Here's sixteen lines
of our own, says an exchange. same style,
same measure, and embodying about as
much sentiment, for which we will will
lingly take quarter:
What does little froggie say,
In his pond at peep of dayf
Let me swim, says little troggie-
BullfrOg, let me swim away.
FrOggie wait little longer,
Till your little legs are stronger
So he mounts upon chunk,
And then into the pond keT-ch.u II X.
What does little pggie say,

Let mo go and root to day.
Pigge, wait a little longer,
Till your snout grows hard aud stronger
If yOu suck a little longer,
Piggie then may root away.
