Notes to Correspondents.
"Gibbon" jibes well, as the sailors say, and always keeps to the windward. Tack round and haul up this way again "ma foine fallow."
"Stoic" is informed that his last "letter from a Coal hole" has failed us.
"To a butyfull Girl."
We should recommend the author of these "butyfull" lines to take a course of lessons under our friend Peirce, who will soon teach him "whether his gramor is kor-rect or not," and perhaps thereby ease his propen-sity for inflicting others with his "eckssquissit" doggrel.
"To the Editor." This is a beautifully written article and contains many excellent truths, but the author or authoress will excuse us if we retain its compliments for our own eye.
"Piquod." There is a good deal of pi in his verses. Quod erat demonstrandum.
Where is Apelaipe? If we were a poet and were given to inditing "Sonnets to a Lady's Eyebrow," we should say
To Adelaide.
Minstrel of the joyful lay,
Whither, whither dost thou stray?
Meadows bloom with flowers free
But none are half so fair as thee!
Let me greet thy song again,
Minstrel of the field and plain,
And till flower and star shall fade,
Thou art my own sweet Apelaide!
