Lotta's recent benefit for the New Orleans
newsboys witnessed an affecting little cpl
sode. At the close of the second act the cur
tam was rung up, and amidst the widest
cheering a representative newsboy stepped
on the stage, and in handsome speech 'en-
dered to Lolita a gold medal, appropriately
engraved, and magnificent bouquet OF dow
ers' During the delivery of the address Lotta
was so deeply affected that her emotions
found vent in tears, and she actually kissed
the young orator, to the uproarious delight
of the assembled gamins.

Take them up tCndcrly,
Lift them with care
Fashioned so slendcrly,
A beautiful pair.
Look ut those number twclves,'
A sight OF themselves!
Made from two OK hides,
The truth shall tell !
Made for young bride,
A Terrc Hautc belle.
Touch them not Scornfully,
Think of her mournfully,
Who has to wear them;
To naught on land or sea,
Under the canopy,
Can we compare them.
How were her fathers feet?
How were her mothers
How were her sisters feet:
How were her brothers?
What has the maiden done,
That she should merit it?
Was il Judgment,
Or did she inherit itg
Alas for the rarity,
OF christian charity
Scarcer than pearls;
Oh! it was pltiful.
To see whole city fun
OF big footed girls,
Bhi those huge bridal shoes,
Look ut their soles.
Laces like clothes lines,
Pass through the holes.
Take them up tenderly,
Lift them with care
Fashioned so slendcrly,
A beautiful pair.
If such her slippers,
What were her stOgas;
Fabrics of leather, like
Two Saratogas."
Droves Of horned cattle,
While passing around,
Look at her brogans,
Then paw up the ground;
Believing all the while,
Knowing full fell,
The leather required
For Tcrre Hautc belle.
She has got good understanding,
That's morally certain;
Her footing is proper
So let's drop the curtain,
aud pledge in bumper,
With proper solemnlty,

There is ''shoddy' in glass, as woll as in

sene arc sometime almost discouraged, so
frequently do chimneys break, without
any apparent cause. rendering the cost OF
chimneys about equal to that OF oil. Cheap
ness being the order Of the day, n great
many manufactures make chmhpys from
silicate of lime, instead of from lead. The
initiated may tell the different qualities OF
glass by ringing them; t o vibrations OF
