/ The trustees of a certain school
hear Norwich, being i'll want of a
teacher, thought the first step to be
taken was to advertise. Having done
this, they received host Of written
applications, and the next move was to

quest to their authors for their photo

Make the little cradle ready,
Softly lay her down.
Once she lived in ease and comfort,
Slept on couch of down; ...-
Now upon the floor she's lying
Poor Jenlima Brown, aH
Once she was a lovely dolly,
Rosy checked and fair,
With her eyes of brightest azure,
And her golden hair. .g, 3D..
Now, alas! no hairs remaining
ON her poor old crown:
And the crown itself is broken
Poor Jenma Brown, T.a.z.. f+.....
Once her legs were smooth and comely,
And her nose was straight; g.. 'a....g.-
And that arm, now hanging lonely,
Had. mcthinks, mate.
All, she was as finely dressed "
Any doll in town;
Now she's old, forlorn and ragged
Poor Jemima Brown!
Yet be kind to her, my Alice!
'Tis no fault Of hers
If her wilful little mistress
Other dolls prefers.
Did she pull her pretty hair out;
Did she break her crown:
Did she tear her arms and legs OF:
Poor Jcmima Brown
Little hands that did the mischief,
You must do your best
Now TO give the poor old dolly
Comfortable rest. '-. G.. ....
SO We'll make the cradle ready,
And Wen lay her down;
And well ask papa to mend her
Poor Jemima Brown!

AS FAR as the expense of living in
Philadelphia is concerned, it all de-
pends upon the choice OF the visitor.
AS in any other city, he can live at a
high rate or he can hire a room and
procure meals at a restaurant, of which
there is no lack, at a price according
ashe can afford. Three dollars per
day will make. one comfortable, and he
can, of course, add to that, ad lib.

YIRGINIA-DAY AT THE CESrESNIAL.-The
Philadelphia Times says, editorially !:
"There appears to be some doubt whether
Virginia will have day Of her own at the
Centennial This ought not to be. Surely
the mother OF States and Of statesmen will
not refuse to join in the great celebration
in commemoration OF the achievements in
which she bore so proud part.'' 49,
In its news columns the Times says: d" It
is probable that the celebrations Of Virginia,
West Virginia (she being slice Of one Of
the old thirteen), and Delaware will be held
on the 10Th, in connection with that OF
Maryland. The 10Th %. W will be one Of
the great landmarks OF the exhibition, as it
is then that, in addition to the jubilee OF
these four States, the Centennial National
Riding Tournament is to be held. The
ladies who are to act in this tournament as
the queen Of love and beauty and the
maids Of honor are to be the most beau-
tiful and otherwise admirable that can
be found in the United States. So says
the chief marshal. S. Taylor Suit. The
fifteen knights representing the thirteen
original States, the Union, and the Centen-
NAL. are to comprise noted officers Of the
Union and Confederate armies, and among
the heralds will be, should they not decline,
Colonel John S. Mosby and George Alfred
Townsend. The ceremonies, comprising
browning of the victor by the queen Of
love and beauty, are to take place, proba-
bly,, in the Judges Hall, and those looked
to for speeches on that occasion are the
Hon. Morton McMichael, Benjamin. Harris
Brewster, and Henry Armitt Brown. It is
believed that the attendance on the 18th
will be only second to that on Pennsylvania
day:'
