to a very small space. We had purposed to give you another peep into our literary Pandemonium, where your Editors, like Prometheus of old, are chained to their table, placed there in the attempt to supply fuel to the spark of fire which he stole from heaven. You doubtless think our path is strewn with flowers, but

"I could a tale unfold, whose lightest word

Would harrow up thy soul; freeze thy young blood;
Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres;

Thy knotted and combined locks to part,

And each particular hair to stand on end,

Like quills upon the fretful porcupine."

Soda-water, ice-cream, and woodcock suppers are words not found in our vocabulary. We deal entirely with types and shadows and devils. We spend our days in reading and our nights in reflection for your benefit. Ephraim is carefully laid away on the "tip eend" of a pitchfork, to wait his turn in administering to your amusement. Judge B****, an intimate acquaintance of his, at present represents him in the editorial corps. The Judge personates Cerberus when in his own peculiar sphere. Eph's boots have recently fallen into the consumption, by reason of which he is sore with tribulation. Soleae requiescant in pace. The remainder of the corps are enjoying good health and spirits. Our Treasurer, or, as Lean Jack would say, if he was here, our Munn-y inan, will give you ocular demonstration, in a short time, that this is the case so far as he is concerned. There! as sure as a gun we have made a pun on our friend Munn; but then it was done merely in fun. Don't imagine, however, that we are a "funny feller;" if you do, we say, in the decided language of Mrs. Jones, “We're not the individual you took us for!" Then, dear reader, for the present we must bid you

Farewell a word that must be and hath been

A sound which makes us linger;-yet-farewell!
