but very little attention on that particular

Konon was here in his right element. At
once he proceeded with a piece Of chalk to
trace the constellation in the form we are
still acquainted with a rich ~frisure, with
plaits and locks.

locks and placed them in the armament on

Some time after, on a clear starry night
the King, in company with Konon, examined
the skies, and was perfectly convinced that
all was as the clever astronomer had said.
Konon received very handsome presents, and
up to this day the constellation bears the
name of "Berenice's Hair" A countryman
of the Queen, the Poet Kallimachos of Cy-

about Cd. decline on refining kinds, from
2Os. to OPS. 3D., but no reduction in price
can be quoted for other descriptions. At
Liverpool the unfavourabIe features in the
trade, to which we drew attention in our
last, have ~prejudiced the market, and, with
increased competition from foreign makers,
and a home production in excess of the
current wants of consumption, the ~refners
there have again limited their purchases.
This falling off ia the demand, occurring
simultaneously with large arrivals of raw
sugar, has led to a decline of ed. in the finer
and Is. per cwt. in the medium and lower
grades, at which reduction the market
closes tameIy, with a weak appearance.
At Glasgow and Greencck prices remain
about the same, while at Bristol a reduc.

THnggAssHOpPER RALLY.
Air, We are Comiag FATHER Abrdha,n. g
by J. j. Marvin.
We are coming Uncle Samuel, three hun
dred billions more,
To devastate your fertile land from th,
mountain to the shore;
We have whet our hungry bills and greas
ed our supple thighs,
And we are bound TO eatwhatever across
our pathway lies.
We are not the sons of sea-cooks that
made King Pharaoh mad,
But you bet your bottom dollar we are
Just three times as bad;
We've been studying Progression since
the Pyramidal age,
And loftier flights and broader fields
our efforts now engage,
We left the land of Palestine as soon as
we heard the news
That the Bible gave the privilege to
those lank and hungry Jews,
On whose grain we rallied, and expected
to bel fed,
That they might roast our tiny carcases
and turn them into bread.
We've no use for John the Baptist, or
ft any of his crowd;
We would rather have our hop out than
honey for shroud;
So we're coming, Uncle Samuel, to show
each eager bill,
And, as you will not molest us, we're
prepared to take our fill.
We have famished on the mountain, for
want of fruit and grain,
And now we turn to migrate, and travel
Ger the plain;
So don't be stingy, Samuel, but SOW
your choicest seed,
And though the people are ''Aus ge
spiel, pray letUs have some feed.
You need not think to check us-we are
not afraid of fire;
When you talk determination, your
courage we admire.
But try to put us through, and we will
do our level best,
And egg your prairies over, hundred
to the nest.
You need not think the lice are going to
hurt us much,
They only raise our appetites, as lager
serves the Dutch.
We are not a going to leave you, until
we've played you out,
And then well spread our gauzy wings,
and take another route. n
