Tho Death OF Puck.

H..
] fear that Puck is dead, 1t is so long
Since men last saw him; dead with all the
OF that sweet elfn crew that made their nest
In hollow huts, where hazels sing their song;
Dead and forever like the antique throng
The elves replaced; the Dryad that you
guessed
Behind the leaves: the Nalad weed be-
The leaf-cared Faun that loved TO lead you
wrong.
Tell me, thou hopping Robin, has thou met
A little man, no bigger than myself,
Whom they call Puck, where woodland bells
are wet?
Tell me, thou woodMouso, hast thou seen
an elf
Whom they call Puck, and is he seated yet
Capped with snail-shell, on his mushroom
shelf
The Robin gave three hops, and chirped, and
said:
"Yes, knew Puck, and loved him; though
He mimicked oft my whistle, chuckllng low;
Yes, knew cousin Puck; but he is dead.
The Wren and J. half covered up with snow,
AS we hoped where the berries grow.
We think he died of cold, Aye, Puck is dead"
And then the wood-Mouse said: I'VE made
The old, blind Mole-dig deep beneath the
moss,
And four big Dormce placed him in the holo.
The Squirrel made with sticks little cross;
Puck was a Christian elf, and had u soul;
And all we velvet jackets mourn his loss"

A violated Contract.

An important case was heard by Jus
tice Smith this morning. Ii was suit
brought by Harry B. Miller, contractor,
against w. jerks Fell of Falkland, to
recover the cost of the erection of a
house for the latter near Rrandywine
Springs. w. s. Hilles, ESQ,
represented the defendant. Mr..
Miller testified that he made a
verbal agreement with Mr.. Fell to erect
the building with the understanding that
the latter was to supply all the material.
The house was built and everything com
pleted except the roof, when the con
tractor stopped work He stated that
the work had been delayed SO often by
the scarcity Of material that
he had given up the job Mr.
Fell then employed another man to com
plete the work. The only evidence that
contract had been made was letter re-
ceived by Mr.. Miller telling him to 60 on
with the work. The justice said that
Miller's failure to complete the work was
a violation of the contract He gave
judgment for $32.6O and costs, in favor
of the plaintiff.
