5 o’clock.—I’m sure we shan’t srwive this night, therefore I av determined to put my heavy log into an M T rum-bottle, and throw it overbord, in bops it may be pickd up by some pirson who will bare my sad tail to my dear Sally. And now I conclewd with this short advice:—Let awl yung men take warning by my crewel fate. Let them avide bad kumpany and keep out of the Palass; and above all, let them mind their bissnesses on dri land, and never cast their fortunes on any main, like their unfortinet
Servant,
THE BOY JONES.

THE TWO MACBETHS.
OR THE HAY MARKET GEMINI.
O,
Gemini-
Crimini!
Nimini-
Pimini
Representatives of the Tartan hero,
Who wildly tear a passion into rags
More ragged than the hags
That round about the cauldron go!
Murderers! who murder Shakspeare so,
That ’stead of murdering sleep,
ye do not do it;
But, vice versa, send the audience
to it.
And,
oh!—
But
no—
Illustrious
Mac-
Beth,
or -ready,
And
thou, small quack,
Of
plaudits greedy!
Our pen, deserted by the tuneful Muses,
To write on such a barren theme refuses.

THE ADVANTAGES OF ANIMAL MAGNETISM.
The experiments of M. Delafontaine having again raised an outcry against this noble science, from the apparent absence of any benefit likely to arise from it, beyond converting human beings into pincushions and galvanic dummies. We, who look deeper into things than the generality of the world, hail it as an inestimable boon to mankind, and proceed at once to answer the numerous enquirers as to the cui bono of this novel soporific.
