FIFTY CENTS PER COPY,

and it initiates a series OF the best non-copy-
right works in the English Language, under
the distinctive title of the Chandos Classics"
all of which are to be published at Il price
heretofore unequaled. The great popularity
of Warne's Shakespeare in England may be
judged from the fact that the first edition of
Fifty Thousand copies was taken up immed-
lately upon publication, and that the second
edition, also Of Fifty Thousand, is now near
ly exhausted. Since other standard works
similar in style are to follow this, the trade
and the public will appreciate the Importance
to order Warne's Shakespeare in preference
to any other.
n. -Warne's Shakespeare is printed up
on white paper, and no attempt is made to
save space by running in" the Dialogues
The page is therefore clear, open, distinct,
and perfectly legible.

FIGHT BETWEEN WAsPs AND RATS.
A couple Of farm servants on
plantation in the southern part Of
Alabama, who had been asleep in a
loft Of a large barn, were awakened
one morning recently by a great
commotion in the hay-mow be-
meath, and on looking down saw a
scene which, probably, is without a
parallel. Swarming in through an
open window was perfect cloud
or wasps, who were attacking a
young army of rats, whose squeal-
ing had aroused the two farm hands.
The rats stood upon their hind
legs, IN a perfect paroxysm Of rage
and fear, and gnashed their teeth at
the Wasps, who stung them re-
mOraelessly. The bodies Of the
rats we're terribly swollen by the
poison Of the insects; and In their
rage and fury they turned and bit
each other. The hay.loft WAS
strswn with the dead bodies of the
rats, until at last the survivors fled
from the scene and left the wasps
masters Of the situation.
