 A GORILLA LOVE SONG.
TranIslated from thl original Gorinill'se by iT-Mi 'T'-V'-t, Eso,.
 Gt i'Il, (Gori'lhi,
 Bristling young fay,
 Sweet slumber-killer,
 \Whither awny ?
 List to my wooing,
 1 Iazel-haired girl,
 A lie' nothing doing
 To thee I'll unfiurl.
 Distending yonir figro
 By day and by niii'ht,
 With slices of nigger
 And underdone while,
 Who comes here to chain un
 And take us away!
 Fair quadrimnnnonsl
 What do you e ay ?
 Lazily dozing
 On the green Esward,
 Idly reposing
 Under a broad
 Plantain umbrella,
 When sun is too bright,
 Crunching black feller,
 And venturesoen white
 As butelher and klnalker
 Contented I'll le,
 As cocoa-nut cracker
 I'll labour for thee!
 Gentle Gorilla,
 Bristling young foy,
 Sweet slumber-killer,
 What do you say?

 A VALENTINE (FROM ORSON).
YOUR face is fair, your eyes are bright,
Their splendour's like the stars at night,
A lovelier form I ne'er did see ;
List! dear one, while I swear to thee-
 I'm a young man from the country,
 But you don't get over me.


 PENNY WISE AND POUND FooiISi.- Cheap things are always tho
dearest in the long run, andl FuN's advice to everybodly- i i.e., his
readers-therefore is, Get tihe best of all persons with whlioi yol
have any dealings."-[Even FuN is no exception to this general rule';
being-although, in one sense, so chetip-atl the sae;c time, and at all
points of the compass, so highly priced--highly prized !]
 AN Irish paper says, "We publish a bulletin about the gentleman
that was shot the other day." We should have thought that, ono
bullet in rendered any others superfluous.
