STRANGE HUMANITY.-From grave to gay is but a step. and of this the surviving crew of the emigrant ship Northfleet, which was recently sunk off Dungeness, must be convinced Escaping with difficulty from that fearful scene of death they reached London. The news of the disaster had preceded them, the city was intensely ex- cited on the subject and d shrewd, money making discounter of the peoples taste be- guilcd them immediately on their arrival to be at his ''music hall' that and subsequent evenings. Penniess as they were they consented and the very night after the ca tastrophe, less than twenty-four hours since the terrible tragedy in real life had been enacted, these ten men found themselves seated upon a concert saloon stage, with the curtain rising and revealing them amid loud cheers to very large and uncontroll- ably enthusiastic audience. The entertain ment was repeated again and again, the contract being for twelve nights. Crowds greeted them every evening and financially it was great success. It is a singular H. lustration of the freaks of fortune that the calamity which shocked the whole news reading world and sent more than three hundred souls into eternity should have filled tue pockets of this saloon keeper with money and brought upon the nncouth, ill appearing men round after round of ap- plause for merely sitting upon stage from which forty eight hours before they would have been ignominlously driven. The temporary victory over death makes man something of hero after all, even if it is certain that the victory is really at the best but check.

 What has become of our "Occasonal" correspondent from Canaan? Ever since the apology was made for the ''Old Lady," hardly word have we heard from him. Perhaps he thinks discretion the better part of valor and has retired from the field, for we remember the old rhyme

POSTAL PoETRY.-The poetical style of address seems to be quite popular of late, and although not every man can be poet, ''no more than sheep can be go-it" there are good many prosy- minded per sons who seem to rack their brains suffi- ciently to grind out one verse of rhyme. Here are two samples which have recently been noted in this State:
