HOLIDAY FARE IN CORNWALL.
A roll on the billow,
A Loaf by the shore,
A Fig for fashion,
And Cream galore!

"WHAT'S IN A NAME?"
Mr. AUGUSTIN DALY says, "I have never found, as CHATTERTON did, that
SHAKSPEARE spelt Ruin." Perhaps he has been more inclined to think
that SHAKSPEARE spelt REHAN, eh?

TURNING THE TABLES;
OR, THE BEAR AS LEADER.
["The French believed so implicitly in Russian friendship,
even when there was nothing whatever to indicate its
existence, that they may be excused for rating at more than
they are worth expressions of goodwill, which, after all, are
as ambiguous as they are tardy.... The success of a Russian
Loan is not dearly purchased by a little effusion, which,
after all, commits Russia to nothing. French sentiment
is always worth cultivating in that way, because, unlike
the British variety, it has a distinct influence upon
investments."--_Daily Paper_.
