A Revolutionary IrEM.-The Troy Times
having advertised for several boys to carry
the paper. the Revolution, woman's paper,
thus comments;
We have noticed this advertisement for
s,me time in the Press, and infer that boys
are scarce in Troy. Why not advertise for
girls? The Revolution has half dozen
girls, gaily dressed. with red and green caps
and shirts, who sell dozen papers where
ragged boys do one. Madame Demorest will
furnish this beautiful costume for twenty
FIVE dollars each, and we assure you, MIR.
Press, it pays to make half dozen poor
girls comfortable as we'll as ornamental to
the city. In all things we need Revolu.

The QUEEN's BooK.-Queen Victoria has
written book-or procured the writing OF
one, which all the Johnbulls are praising
extravagantly. 1t embraces a sentimental
detail Of Victoria and Alberts honey moon,
which appears to have lasted n good deal
longer than usual. together with the incidents
and doings of their domestic life 1t is very
good book. and obtains its chief interest,
like the Queens numerous progeny, from it,
royal paternity. 1t is observed that several
American literary toad eaters are also doing
their devoirs to the royal book, among whom
is the garrulous old crone who does the
drivel for Harpers' g Easy Chair"
We might feel great satisfaction at the un-
speakable happiness of the royal lovers, if it
were not that most of the time Famine and
Oppression stalked in portion of their
dominions-Ireland. While the buxom sov
ereign was tripping among the Scottish
heather, and toying with the affectionate
Albert. Erin still wept in detection, over her
broken harp on the Shannon, and
" The poor died mute, with starving gaze
On corn-shps in the ofing."

throat as tried to speak, and say that, after
all, it might not be so bad as felt sure it
was. Last of all, with regular wall, the
old lady burst out
