This evening will be presented the
sublime tragedy of David Hamlet, Jun"
Conundrum: Why did Hamlet kill his
uncle? Because he called him Dave. Yer
dict of the jury: Served him right"
Hamlet was the Prince of Duniirk /;
Dave Hamlet was bully boy with glass
eye"
David thou art the mani" ETC.
The poor typo turned crimson, and then
pale, and, as the ralery went on, he attempt
ed to explain, which caused it to increase.
Finally some imp the stick" burst out
into impromptu doggerel:
Come, tell us a story, or sing us a stave
About the pensive, piping, princely Dave;
Do not fret nor swear; never rave,
1fyou are my boy; the melancholy Dave:
The prosecuted could stand plain prose,
but wretched rhyme was more than he
could bear. He assaulted the rhymester
and an encounter ensrted, in which Dave
was worsed. During that week he had six
fisticuils; then he threw up his situation and
lie town, in hope of escaping the jeers at
his expense.
lie never did escape, poor fellow. The
melancholy Dave proved to be the ghost
Of his fathers son. 1t followed him from
city to city,. from news-room to news-room ;
it drove him to drink, delirium and the
grave.
His death was the immediate result of the
wrong letter in the right box.

she pushed open the door, the little fel,
low, sitting up in bed, Cooed to her and
put out his hands.
With the tears raining down her
cheeks, Mary wrapped the babe warmly
and started down the stairs. Out into
the darkness once more; onward with
her precious burden, through cannon
roar, through shot and shell! Three
times she passed through this storm.
The balls still swept the forest; the ter
rife booming filled the air.
With the child pressed tightly to her
brave young heart, she fled Oh. She
neither stumbled nor fell The shot
threw the dirt in her face, and showered
the twigs down upon her head. But she
was not struck. In safety she reached
the hut, and fell exhausted across the
threshold.
And the little boy thus saved by a
girls brave devotion, afterward became

Vanished.
ny EMMA ALICE BROWNE.

No star hath fallen from the sky
The moon burns on with equal flame;
And vet the nights are not the same
Sweet nights we knew in Mays gone by.
Green hillock, can you tell me why'
The Young dawn blossoms just as fair
Along the hills; and yet know
Some grace she wore year ago
Hath darkened into empty air
Green hillock, can you tell me where'
From grove and woodland, far and near,
A thousand soft, harmonious notes
Pour from thousand joyous throats--
And yet ah me wait to hear
The sweetest singer of the year
OF all the daisies on the lea
Imiss no little shining face;
Where turks the charm, the vanished grace
That made the fields 80 fair to see'
Green hillock, can you answer me?
Green aillock, whitening day by day,
Low hillock where the daisies run
Between her fair face and the sun,
know what glory Of the May
With my lost darling went astray!
