THE Poet of the Asfaltus contributes the
following on Manhattan's shock:
The shock that shook Manhattan Isle,
And all the fair adjacent land,
Was not Of the old fashion style
Came not from the destrOyer's hand:
Twas of such fun as care derides,
And makes old Laughter hold his sides.
There are some things that shake the earth
Phenomena that bOde no i'll.
Mere outbursts of the natural mirth,
Which rock the valley and the hill.
we find such things IN This and That
While nature laughs and wakes fat
This last CONFUSION, long suppressed,
Was natural in every way;
Originated in the jest
Announced by wire the other day,
That Halstead would his bar'l uncork
And start paper in New York.
