A-kultting iu ray oasy chair,
My thonguts are fluttering hera anl there,
My feet are on the fender;

My iavorite "tabby" on the rug,
Fills me with fancies tender.
I think Low in tho3e days of yore
I reckoned lovers by the score;
How now my fortune varies !
To-night I sit in lone despair,
And now bestow my love and care
On kitti'U3 bd1 cuorie3.

HOOKS NOT VET IN THE PHE3S.
"A Spendthrift Tight." A Wove!, by the
Author of "A St raw Loose."
"Fish all Alive." A Tale of thrilling inte
mt, by the Author of "Dead Sea Fruit."
"Hate the Forgiver." A Romance, by the
writer of "Love the Avenger."
"Gone to See." A Sensation Story, by the
Author of "Run to Ktn-lh."
"The Death Strugnle." A Sequel to "A

"Sion no Moke, Ladies: Laues, Sinn no
More." An indignant "advocate of her sex"
writes to us, denouncing the Pull-Mull as a
'brute of a paper," which Las always treated
Ihe softer and swee'er Hex in its articles "as
the dirt nridr ita feet," and complaining
tspecially of that ucgalhmt ogau for having
tlarei to call ilia claim of ladies to vote at
common law, a "mare's nest." mch btgs
Ills indignant correspondent to be comforted.
The Pull-Mail U very rude. It wasn't a mare's
test. It wa3 a lady-mayoress'.
Too Lad. The brigands, a week or so ago,
took oil Mr. Campbell, Vice-Rector of tha
Scotch College iu Rome. Mr. Campbell was
returned by tho brigands, ou compulsion, safe
and sotmd. Now what was the observation of
Ihe 2'tW.s correppoadeut on this matter? Why,
will it be believed, an unfeeling pun; he ac
tually wrote to the leading journal to say that
"brigandage- in this province is not killei,
though Scotvhui." We shouldn't ha' thought
it of him.
A ia Bonne IlErni'I The Tories spread
rumors that Mr. Gladstone fs a Catholic. Ha 1
Mr. Punch is reminded of a verse of an old
ballad, wherein it is said to the enemies of a
flouting Bishop:
"Right heavily upon your heads
He'll lay his hand in steel,
And with liis trusly Partisan
Your absolution deal."
A constituent's question.
When Candidates, to gp'n your vctes,
In urgent mauner sue,
Their importunity denotes
That they've some end in viow.
Do Railwaymen at publio good,
Or private objects eimf
Of all such customers you should
Ask "What's your little game ?"
Candidates voa tiik County CRor. Cads,
intending to satirize chignons, have taken to
insult ladies in the street by crying, "I'll have
your hair !" It never occurs to them that
their own hair will, peihaps, be shortly taken
ly the ehaver to the House of Correction.
POEM KOK A RAILWAY PLATFORM.
Ideas, into trains of thought
By running, hurt no brains
Hot 0 when passengers are brought
To grief by luggage trains.
A Pastokal Idea. A Bishop's crook re
minds him that he is. as it were, a Shepherd;
and then, if there are any Ritualists iu his
diocese, he must regard them as so inauy silly
theep that have got the 8taggnrs.
JIEDICO l'IIiIiUKniCAL flASTKOXOMY.
Examiner. What is the best local applica
tion lor gastritis I
Candidate. Bread saaco.
A Sayino in th e City. The npw Viceroy of
Tndia is only Lord Mayo, but Mr. Alderman
Lawrence i3 Loid Mayor.
"In Medio Tuti.im.e." The county all
BtrcDg-minded females ousht to vote iu Mid
dlesex. To the TuoronTFCL. Not every man can
grow Coll'ee who has cotlee grounds in his cup.
Hioii Cuci.i ii Noted. The Ritualists b0r7

. Ex rr.rMEs Meet. So did Mr. Bright and the
Gun Trade.
Toast of Female Suki-aoe. The Chignon at
the l'oll.
From "Fun."
Sthange ip True. The Police News is
determined to make on "horror's head horrors
accumulate." The other day, in the aooount
of an ir (jctst upon a child killed in a coal
mine, it stated:
"The deceased was seven years of age, and
Lad been employed as a hu trier in Messrs.
Charlesworth'3 Castle Fit, Robin Hood, for
tight years."
If this sort of thing is allowed, the Factory
act will have to be amended in the interests of
the babe unborn.
"Beets to tub Sweet." The New York
Tribune remarks, "Beet sugar is the child of
protection, but has now outgrown the need of
parental nourishment." This would seem to
be a complete auswer to those who wish to
abolish Hogging at schools. If beet sugar is so
improved by the process, it is clear that to
spare the red is to ppoil the child. It may.
however, be urged on the other hand that
sugar at its earliest age is enpported by the
cane.
An "Active akd Iktbilkjent Officer" so
Doudt. A gentleman residing at Malvern, ia
giving his experience of the recent earthquake
in a letter to the Times, naively states:
"A policeman on the road not one hundred
yards from my house knew nothing of the
shock or its accompaniments."
The idea that a mere earthquake is sufficient
to attract the attention of a piliueman on his
beat is rather too rich to le passed over without
notice.
Time was there rIM not come a post
But brought of "billets donx" a host,
From wr.ters fond and clever;
But now 'tis bills the postman brings,
Vi circulars and Rich like things,
But love-letters oh, never 1
Once every morning brought its gue3t;
My knocker (scarce had any rest,
My "Haines" were always calling;
'Tis "Taxes" dow or "Water Bate,"
Who turns tho handla of my gate,
And knocks with zjpI appalling !
I was a jolly dancer then,
A Iavorite partner with the men,
Iu waH.icg I'd no equal.
My dancing now is all aloce,
WLtu with rheumatic pains I groan
Oh, what a bitter Eequel I
Instead cf rides to covrside,
At "Clothing Clubs" I now preside,
And serve oa "Tract" Committees;
Instead of "parties" without end
I Dorcas Meetings now attend,
Yet who my sad lot pities ?
I flirt, d till it was too late,
O'ci taken by avenging fate,
Behold iu mo a warning 1
Yonrtg maidens, do rot always flirt,
Be wise, and Nemesis avert,
And waste not Life's bright morning.
AN I'NFINISnED OPERA.
The following fragments are all that I have
at present written. Here is a picturesque bit
for the girls to sing on the slopes of the Alham
bia third act, lirst scene:
"Come away to tho Sierra Nevada,
To the dance:
On the vine-covered hills of Granada
Gaily prance." (Tivice.)
Then my castanets come in. Boabdil won't
play them, leirg a Moor. He could have a
battle-song inteud; Eot long, but characteris
tic. This is how it should go:
"Our steeds are lightly bounding,
La, La !
Hark ! hark I the clarion sounding,
Ta.Ta! (tiuyUtail.)
To conquer or to die.
Djiug brrrr'm." (Drum.)
Hp goes oil anywhere to this trine, the others
crowding around him and weeping real tears.
I have a Venetian bit in my desk, but i
won't come iu just Lore. This is how it go3
(in B flat, it pctoible), with xrppling busiues3
underneath:
"TLe gondolier glider on the something lagoon,
Luraliety !"
Thf n a passing allusion to the moon only
for a i Lyme, but, the people in front of the
house like it. Star3 cannot be b.-ought in,
because they require cars (Irish jaunting cars)
to make it all right. If we could have cars
(Irish jaunting ones), perhaps the word
"P'hilaloo" might be employed, or "Musha
Gramachree" echo doing the "hree" all
about the stage, and the orchestra taking it
up with llagtoltts. This might come in the
piison 6cene, if 1 introduce one.
Tho girla ought properly to say as they
come on
''Mi'rry, merry mountain maids are we,
(tcho) are we-e-e-e 1
Brantiful, happy, careless, respectable, aud
free.
(Ditto) Ree-e-e-e!"
Then a spy in a mask says, "From Lithua
nia's plains I come," nud everybody says (in
imitation of echo) "Um-uru." This can be
made a powerful bit of sarcasm by putting the
footlights nearly out, and making the musi
cians hide their instruments under pocket
hsndkei chiefs to deaden the sound. The
Lithuanian is then carried off by guards, and
the scene changes to something more gloomy
say a dungeon. Chorus of under-gaolers,
clankiug keys major ai;d minor.
Boabdil is pardoned at the last moment,
because he saved Olozaga's life in the quarrel.
This is all that I have written, but there is
plenty more where that came from. I have
it here (lapping my forehead).
The Perversity ok Man. Writing from
"The llorsepools," near Stroud, Mr. Samuel
Bowly, the well-known temperance advocate,
informs the public, through the medium of a
letter to tho Times, that he is not a member
of the United Kingdom Alliance. We fully
agree with Mr. Bowly, thrt moral suasion is
better than legislative action; but is it not
painful to think that iu the majority of in
stances, although you may lead a man to
'J he llorsepools," you cannot make him
drink water 1
tiie majority.

Eras in piano-forte nmnuficturo are now
marked by mouths mbtfal of years, improve,
incut trending ou the heel ol'tiDptoveincnt. Wo
deem itour eiliiorlul duty to keep our readers
informed ot every tmpoitimt imorovcmeiit in
the musical world, and the la'.c-t invention
of Stcinwuy & Sol. s is of meli novelty aud
value tUut we ghully record the resull of our
examination.
T lie tirst point of importance was the iutro
duc'ton el I lie double ii on Iraim-, whirli is the
vital strcii?th ot the f.'thnc, tuid sustains the
whole M ruin ol tho striniis, imp initio a capacity
of stmidim: in tunc hit licrto unknown, to such
an c xtrnoidiiiary degree nircly met with even
in the bobt tiraul aud Square Pianos. Between
the front and back iron frame the sounding
bijnrd la inserted, and snppoited by a simple
nppnrntus (Patent Resonator) compi-i-Si-liis; the
sounding-board, which, while i.foljtiiii; it iroiu
the iron triune, regulate the tenston of the
s(Mimlni!i-bfiird with the greHtnst nicety, givlni?
lull play to its incrca-ed vibrnlion and placing
it forever under control. For this itiiojrtunt
improvement Letters Patent were !r.uncd to
Villiam Stein way, June !, 1800, and tho result
1m a wondei I ii 1 1 y increased power and purity of
tone tln o'igh the entire scale of the Instruments,
piacintr them above the host square pia'.ios In
rebuenient, sjnipn'liy, and volume of tino, aud
almost equal to the prauda in point of power.
The extraordinary success of tho Patent Ke
f-omitor in upright pianos caused Messrs.
Stcinwny to apply the improvement to tuuir
grand pianos with equally unppv results.
At the Taris exposition, in 107, these newly
improved (irand mid Upright Pianos caused
the greatest wouder aud excitement in musical
circles, and, as will be remembered, Messrs.
feteluway were nwiudcd the First of the Grand
tiold Medals of Honor. It may not be out of
place to quote the language of the Official
Beport of the Intel national Jury (published by
the Iuipuiiul Commission a lew months since),
in com paring the iclative merits ot the pianos of
the two great American exhibitors:
"The pianos ot Messrs. Siein way & Sons aro
equally endowed with the splendid sonority of
their competitor; they also possess that seining
largeness and volume of tone, hitherto unkuo wu,
which till the greatest space. Biilliaut iu the
treble, singing in the middle, and for.nidahlc In
the base, this sonority acts with irresistible
power on the organs ot hearing. In regard to
expression, delicate shading, variety of acccp
tuuticn, the instruments ot Messrs. Stein way
have over Iho.-o of their American competitor
an advantage which cannot be contested. The
blow of the hammer is heard much less, and the
pianist feels wrder his hands un actiou pliant
and easy, which permits him at will to be' po.v
eiful or light, voulnent nml graeeful. 'Ihese
pianos aio :u the same time the Instrument of
the iituoso who wishes to astonish by the eclat
of his executions nr.d cf ihe artist w ho applies
his talent to the music of thouebt aud sentiment,
Ixquea'lird 'o us oy the, illustrious masters in
one word, they are at the same time the pituio lor
the concert loom and the parlor, pojsessiuir au
unexceptionable sonority,''
Put to return to i ho very latest improvement
which Messrs. fctemway have iirroduced in
their Upright Pianos, viz.: their "Puteut Tubu
lar Metallic Action Frame," lor which Loiters
Patent were granted to Theodore Steiuway, in
July ol this year. The result ol this invention
is the perfecting Tot an action of such mathe
matical precision that it can be placed iu any
upright piano of the tame slyle made by this
firiu, working as perfectly as if it had beea
specially made lor it. Iu fact, the actious can
be changed Irotu oi c to another, or in case of
an nccident to one of them in any part of the
wrrld, a perfect action can at once be forwarded
to supply itsplaee. the whole machinery ofinsert
ing the action berncr the placing of it in four
metal sockets, and turning the four screws
which seeuro the action direr ly to the iron
frame, all of which a child could do with cae
' - , i T
aim b......r; .
The action is iiQ compact and unchangeable as.
the iron fiiimc itself; lot' where in othor instru
uients the whole mechanism rests upon woocieu
bars, which are liable to atmospheric influences,
this is sustained bj hollowed brass tubes. MV.ou
with wood, which are of immense strength,
and cannot be injured or affected. The compact
solidity of the construction produces a corrc-s-poicling
cimnefcs and precioion iu the action
itself, together with rare promptness of the
dampers, placing at the disposal ot th plavor
an aciion in every respect equal to that of the
best Concert (iiand.
Iu conclusion, we find that the report of the
Jury of the Fans Fxlubition istully sustaiuod
by the scientific bodies of Europe, the Koyal
Academics ol iieibn, Prusria, and Stockholm,
Sweden, having created two of the brother?,
Theodore and William Steiuway, Honorary
Membeis, for their valuable inventions aud
nuinirous improvements. Ar, 3. Tribune,
