LIE Roc.-"TIow tho wind whistles

the mountain passes and the old

than IL is wont to do and everything
portends the coming storm. / won

undertaking to play the part of
Kings IeasTcf.~
GuIDo.-In all probabilities he will
loose his head through his own stu.
pidily twouldu't be much he'd loose
either.
LIE Roc.-It's high time, that De
La Mar should come.
GUIDo.-Probably he has been
sueaking around the domicil of some
fair Duleiua till the Kings guards
have gathered him in, Served him
right if they have,
LE Roc.-You old crow is there
no more agreeable occupation for you
than to be continually croaking of
evil? Perhaps, pulling a galley oar
with chain to thy lean limbs, would
suit thee better.
GUDo.-The picture you draw is
not very agreeable certainly; aud l
only wish that it we're no more proba-
Bile than agreeable.
Enter Juan De La Mar.
There comes the gay Romeo now.
De LIE MAR.-Good evening Senior
lie Roc, and gentlemen"
GUIDo.--Gentlemen we'll now,
thou hast spoken the truth for once
in thy life. We are gentlemen-gen-
tlemen of leisure, with great amount
of leisure. But we will be gentle.
men with leisure to let when we go to
boarding at government expense.
lie Roc.-You old crocodile if
thou wouldst but let thy lantern jaws
rest for a time, thou wouldst greatly
oblige thy friends. Hold thy spleen
for a short time, and perchance by so
doing, thou mayst be epabled to com
init decent suicide, and thus rid the
earth of disgusting parasite, and
society of decided nuisance. De
lie Mar why oomest thou so late &?
'Tis past midnight now, and we four
hours ago expected thee to join us at
the cave. Perhaps some sweet heart
did detain thee thus, whose charms
thou vert unwilling to forego. But
yet, methiuks, thy looks are sad and
glum, as though thy maid had bid
thee to be gone.
De La MARI was detained to
night to list ring dove cooling to her
mate Of constancy to him, while he
afar should leave their rustic nest.
And he to her, of never dying love,
and Joyous haste that he'd employ,
to come to her again, when fate should

GUIDo.-Gentlemen Of leisure you
see prophcsied truly. lie has
been haunting the bowers of some
fair amarantia, lowering around it,
as the moth doth about a candle till
its wings are seorched, and from the
writings, and mental contortions OF
this overgIown moth, l should say,
that his wings had been slightly
singed. ...
DE LA MAR.-Beware sir how you
triae with me. No one incurs the
hatred of De La Mar but feels its
power. Yes, jean Dubois shall fee
my vengence. Now he is of to tn,
war, and has promised Elauor Estell
that he would come again. Yes, h
shall come again; But mark m,
men, it will be as flies the wounded
bird to seek its feathercd mate, t.
, bleeding fall aud perish at it's feet
Thus shall he return to her.
