I beheld him mix, "be off! you drive me mad-it's | And the Vulture never flitting-still is sitting, still is striking four. Leave the house and something in it; if you go on at the gin, it sitting, Gulping down my stout by gallons, and my oysters by the score; Wont hold out another minute. Leave the house and And the beast, with no more breeding than a heathen shut the door Take your beak from out my gin, and take your body through the door!" Quoth the Vulture "Never more!" savage feeding, The new carpet's tints unheeding, throws his shells upon the floor. And his smoke from out my curtains, and his stains from out my floor, LOVE AND LUCRE. AN ALLEGORY. BY JOHN G. SAXE. Shall be sifted never more. MR. 'ARRY BELVILLE, ON THE CONTINENT GENERALLY. 'Arry Belville. "Yes! I like it extremely. I like the Lazy ally sort of feeling. I like sitting at the door of a Caffy to smoke my Cigar; and above all (onter noo) it's a great comfort to wear one's Beard without bein' larfed at!" A BIT OF HIS MIND, Edward (to his Military Cousin.) "No! I shan't! I shan't go and shoot Blackbirds; and I tell you what, Master Charley, you Dragoon Swells wont have quite such a pull upon us Civilians now, for we are all going to grow Beards and Mousta chios." Mr. George Bulpin, 361 Broadway, New York, is now the recognized authority upon the subject of American Fashions, and has made an arrangement with us, by which our readers will receive monthly reports hereafter. Our lady readers, especially, seem to desire this, and as the space occupied is not great, we hope that all "Old Bachelors" will stop grumbling, and either marry some good girl-that he may select her costume from "Graham's monthly report"-or, emigrate to Australia incontinently. This is a very superb style of dress-the shawl mantle is of royal purple velvet embroidered. It is entirely of American manufacture, and is a piece of very beautiful and elaborate work, fully equal to the costliest productions of any country. It is now on exhibition at the Crystal Palace, New York. No. 2. This cut represents a Cloak-called the Eldorado-the material is Mazarine blue velvet, embroidered with very fine needlework.
