Lisbon Items.

APRIL l3-What has become of your erstwhile
Woodbine correspondent? Has he laid aside his
pen (not his pigpen and gone into retreat to do
penance till after Passion Week. Or has he taken
"the wings of the morning to fee to the uttermost
parts of the earth" where "the lion roareth and
the whangadoodte mourneth for its first born?'

dissected for aught the readers of the Advocate
know to the contrary. Does he take it that Isl
lence is golden?" Rip Van Wrinkle finally being

for the paper they would be sure to interest some

the Church of Cornth; and also who breaches at
Morgan Chapel; and happenings in the community
in which he lives moves, and drives his black horse
