TrrTO TIIE PUBLIC —As there are many Gift
Rook Stores advertised throughout the Country, Mr.
Eva.. deems it just to loinseif and his duty to the
public—inasmuch as he originated the Gift Book bu
siness—to state, a- evaleace of the instability of many
of such concerns, that they conceal their rat name
from the public, and are advertising their business
under‘assumed ones. Mr. E. is aware that these. nn
111011S concerns published n, Gift Book SlOre%, are
calculated to bring the business established by him
self into disrepute. He asks of the public a correct
judgment in regard to bin Gift Book Enterprise, for
the honor, integrity, and success, of which he refers
to all the prominent publishers in the United States.

A NIGHTMARE. DREAM DV DAYLIGHT.
Do you know the Old Man of the Sea. of the Sea?
Have you met with that dreadful old MUM
If you haven't been caught, you will be, you will be;
For catch you he must and he can.
Re doesn't hold on by your throat, by your throat,
As of old in the terrible tale;
But he grapples you tight by the Coat, by the coat ;
Till its buttons and button-holes fail.
There's the charm of a snake in his eye, in his eye,
And a polypus-grip in his hands;
You cannot go back, nor get by, nor get by,
IC you look at the spot where he stands.
Oh, you're grabbed! see lus claw on your sleeve, on
your ,lee ye!
It is Sinbad's Old Man of the Sea!
You're aChristiam no doubt you believe, you believe!—
You're a martyr, whatever you be!
—Ts the breaktust-hour past? they must wuit, they must
wait,
While the coffee boils sullenly down,
While the Johnny-cake burns on the grate, on the grate,
And the toast is dose frightfully brown.
—Yes, your dinner will keep; let it cool, let it cool,
And Aludwn may worry and fret,
And children half-starved go to school, go toschool,—
Ile can't think of sparing you yet.
—I lark! theliell for the train! "Conte along! Come along!
For there isn't a second to lose."
nosun!' (Ile lio!ds ond "Fran! ding•dong! Fehr?
ding-slung!"
You can follow on foot, if you choose.
—There's a maid with a cheek like a peach, like a peacl
Tina 14 within for you in the churelt;—
But lie clines to your rule like a leech, like a leech,
And you leave your lost bride in the lurch.
—There's n babe in n fit.—hurry quick! hurry quick!
To the doctor's as fast as you can!
The baby is otT, while you stick, while you stick,
In the grip of the dreadful Old Maid
—I have looked on the face of the fore, of the Bore;
The voice of the Simple I know;
I have welcomed the Flat nt my door, at my door;
I have out by the side of the Slow;
I have walked like a land, by the friend, by the frien
That mock to my EL irts like a burr;
I have borne the male talk without end, vvithout end,
Of the sitter whom nothing could stir:
But my hamstrings grow loorm.and I shake, and ! shake.
At the sight of the dreadful Old Man;
Yea, I quiver and quake. nail I take, and I lake,
To my logs with what vigor I can!
Oh, the dreadful Oki Man of the hen, of the Sea!
Ile's come track like the wandering Jew!
lie has lind his mild claw upon me. upon toe,—
And be sure that bet! have it on you!

gtltztion,s.
From the London Journal
Half-an-hour with a Pugilist
Some months ago, I was walking up and
down the Lime-street station at Liverpool,
in company with a friend, awaiting the de
parture of the evening mail, by which we
were returning home. As it wanted but a
few minutes of the time, we selected a com
partment in a second-class carriage; but
before we could enter, we had to wait some
little time to allow of the egress of two or
three of the porters, who were deep in con
versation with two passengers already seat
ed, while sundry other porters were clus
tered round the carriage -door, peeping in,
with looks of admiring curiosity.
Surely, thought I, we are to have distin
guished fellow passengers. Who can they
be? Are they the Siamese ambassadors?
who were then daily expected. There were
to have been two of them—one from each
of the kings. No; it is second class; itcan
not possibly be they. Could it be Spurgeon
and one of his deacons " doing it cheap ?"
No; hardly likely. So we entered the car
riage with doubt and curiosity.
At the further end of the carriage, with
his back to the engine, sat a man, whose
closely clipped hair, bullet bend, and bro
ken nose, plainly told me what his profes
sion was. Facing me, on the opposite side,
sat his companion, a person of much more
prepossessing appearance and manners. A
glance convinced me that they were both
prize-fightlicrs.
To say that that the first-mentioned indi
vidual's head was bullet-shaped, is very
much to malign that projectile ; for surely
no piece of metal shaped as that head was,
could by any possibility, be got down a gun
barrel; nor, even supposing it to be once
down, could any known means get it up
again. No geometrical term with which I
am acquainted could possibly convey any
idea of that head.
It was not a decahedron, and it was not a
duodecahedrom and its only claim to the
title of an " oblate spheroid" would arise
from the fact of its being flattened at the
pole.
My friend glanced at me, and I at him,
They were literally, and figuratively,
" ugly customers;" and I scarcely hoped
that they would not attempt to "improve
the shining hour" by practicing their art
upon us. However, I soon found that there
was no cause for alarm on this head; for the
" spheroid" was very soon in a slumbering,
passive state; and as I am naturally rather
partial to eliciting information from pecu
liar characters, such as ono does not meet
with in the daily walks of life, I very soon
got into conversation with my opposite
neighbor, whom, despite his profession, I
found to be a very polite, I had almost said
gentlemanlike, man. Ire spoke in that pe
culiar tone of assumption common to most
Londoners, and I soon learned] that his
name was say Jones; that he was a
prize-fighter, and had never yet been bea
ten; that he held himself liable to be chal
lenged by any man alive, no matter who, or
what the amount of the stakes; that, at that
moment, ha was acting as "trainer," or
professional tutor to his entnpanion "George,"
$1,50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE; $2,00 IF NOT IN ADVANCE
858.
its he called him; that they were just re
turning front "George's" first prize-fight,
which bad come off three days before in the
vicinity of Liverpool, that hia_adversary's
title to the honors of victory was open to
dispute, there being reason to suspect foul
play and bribery, and that it had therefore
been decided that the battle should be fought
over again.
All this information led on, of course, to
further conversation; and on my making
some remarks as to " George's" present per
sonal appearance, he assured me that he
was very decent-looking now, compared with
what he had been two days previously; for
then his head was double its present size,
and that he had brought it down to its pres
ent dimensions by the copious external am
plication of castor oil, and that in a few
days time he would look quite respectable.
I thought to myself that his idea of re
spectability must certainly differ very much
from my own ; for, as I glanced at the
physiognomy in question, I was much in
clined to doubt whether all the castor-oil in
creation, let it ever so "cold drawn," could
possibly impress the stan.p of respectabil
ity upon it. But as I considered that tastes
differ, and that it was not for me to set up
my own as a standard, I did not dispute
his statement, but led hint on to further
conversation. He informed me that in early
life he had been a carter or a drayman in
London, and that he had never but once
come into collision with the municipal au
thorities, and that occurred when he was
pursuing the comparatively peaceful calling
before named. It appears that he had a
difficulty, as brother Jonathan would ex
press it, with a turnpikeman, relative to an
alleged act of extortion on the part of the
latter.
In writing the biography of all groat
men, it is custowery to relate anecdotes of
their early life, to serve as a foreshadowing
of what their future developments were ex
pected to be. So in the case in question,
that latent fire of that genius which in after
years was to shine forth so brilliantly,
flashed out gloriously on this occasion. In
his own expressive language, " be jumped
off his cart, tqurtred at the man, and gave
him one fortis knob."
He was about to resume his seat, with the
pleasing consciousness of having resisted
oppression, and done his duty like en En
glishman, when ho was suddenly seized by
two myrmidons of the law, was brought up
on a charge ofassault and battery, for which
he got certain days in durance vile, and re
turned to the bosom of that society ho was
afterwards so much to adorn—a wiser and
a sadder man.
This appears to have been the turning
point in his life: disgusted with common..
vial pursuits, for which ho felt that he was
in no way adapted, he entered into his pres
ent profession, which he appeared to have
followed with that success which invariably
attends perseverance and assiduity.
His conversation and remarks being of n
somewhat desultory nature, I found great
difficulty in getting lit anything like a con
secutive account of his life; but from his
curious remarks, I gathered that ho had
worked very hard at his profession.
His first introduction to his companion,
George, struck me as having some claims to
the credit of originality, to say the very
least of it. He:said that Geor,go was brought
to his house by a mutual friend, with a re
quest that he (Jones) would take him in
hand. I rather liked his looks, so lup with
my fist and hit him a blow on his nose.
Upon this, George began "to show fight"
in good style: so, seeing him to be "gamey,"
I undertook to train him, and make the best
I could of him."
On making some remarks about George
and what his future prospects were, he re
plied that he could hardly make up his mind
as to how he would he likely to turn out.
Tapping his own forehead, ho remarked
that "George was rather soft there"—
" that he had no head," and thatfighting•
man should have a "good bend," so as to
know when to take a " liberty"—that the
success of a fight often depended as much
upon the head as thefiste; and that, though
George was the " gameyest" .fellow going,
he was fearful that want of head, and fond
ness for drink, would prevent his rising to
the dazzling height attained by some others
of his profession.'
For himself, he furnished a strong argu
ment in favor of teetotalism, by saying that
although lie kept a public house in London,
ho never drank anything when going
through the fatiguing operation of training,
and very little upon any other occasion, ex
cept now and then, when on an out of the
present kind; and he instanced it as a proof
of the goodness of their Liverpool friends,
that he had been kept in a state of partial
inebriation fur nearly six days without its
costing him a penny.
This was their first visit to Liverpool, and
he expressed himself much pleased with
the kindness they had received, and like
wise with the general urbanity of the police
authorities hi that town, who had never
once molested them during the engagement.
r asked him whether men in their profes
sion ever saved money. He replied that it
was quite impossible. When a man had
been fortunate, he was made a good deal of
by his companions, who kept him in a Con
stant whirl of drunken excitement until his
money was all gone, and then he had to get
up another fight to make more; while if he
was beaten, the whole of the expenses fell
upon him, besides the lost stakes, and then
[WHOLE NUMBER, 1,475.
he got into debt; and he advised me—paren
thetically and in confidence—never to make
a match for so low a sum ns twenty-fee
pounds sterling, as it could not possibly ray,
for the trade expenses alone amounted to
over thirty pounds; the principal items of
which he enumerated—one of them, I re
member, consisting of a "trainer at three
pounds a week and his keep, for seven weeks
at least." Only fancy letting one's self out
to be punched and hammered at by a prize
fighter day by day for seven long weeks!—
For the trainer's office consists of a series of
daily encounters with the trainee, so that ho
may be in good practice when he comes be
fore the public.
Ile intimated to me that, however much
I might be fascinated by the outward show
and glitter of their kind*of life, it was in
reality a very hard one, at least until a man
had obtained a position; and that nothing
but the excitement of popular applause, and
having a public reputation to keep unsullied,
could possibly carry them through IL
I have often remarked, in all public pro
fessions, the great amount of brotherly leer
ing that pervades the whole body. See with
what generosity and willingness authors,
actors and musicians come forward to 'the
aid of a needy brother—by benefits at thea
tres, by public readings, by concerts, and
similar means. And the same feeling ex
tends, strange as it may seem, even to the
profession in question, as the following in
stance will show: and in spite of the horrid
and revolting circumstances attending the
affair, it yet shines like a streak of sunlight
through the awful moral darkness—a proof
to my mind that, let a man debase and bru
talize himself to the lowest possible point,
lie cannot entirely eradicate his manhood;
that now and then it will flash up and re
claim it lost throne, let the rein be every so
short.
My companion casually inquired whether
I was acquainted with Ede. I replied that
I had not that pleasure, and. moreover, that
I was never at a prize-fight in my life. At
first, he seemed not disposed to believe me;
but on my assuring him that such was really
the case, he looked at me more in pity than
in anger, but still seemed hardly able to con
ceive how in this enlightenedinineteen th:een
tury any one could possibly have gone so far
on life's journey as I had without having at
least heard of the hero in question He
therefore endeavored to recall him to my
my mind by enumerating some of his more
celebrated acts of personal prowess. "You
surely must remember Ede—he who killed
`Jack' Somebody in his last fight."
"Killed his man;" I replied in horror.
"Yes," he said. "It was a bad job, poor
fellow;" and then he told me all about how
the man received a hit on the jaw after four
hours' fighting,; how he was carried off the
field; how he never spoke a word after the
fatal blow; and how by six next morning
he was dead.
"But how about his poor wife and chil
dren?" said I.
"Ah, poor woman!" he replied, "it was a
bad job; but we all did the best we could
for her. We got her up a benefit, and man
aged to raise about three hundred pounds
sterling, which put her into a good public
house; and we all do our best to make it
pay. But what," ho added, "is all that,
compared with the loss of such a husband
as she had? For my part, I would not lose
my wife for three millions of pounds ster
ling. She is everything to me; and I have
my good old mother to keep, and I have
brought up my two little brothers without
its costing anybody a penny;" and then
went on to say that there was nothing like
civility and kindness—it cost but little, and
he had always found that they made him
friends wherever he went.
Bravo! thought I; there is a green spot
yet left even in this rough debased heart—
one little thread yet remaining to connect
it with human nature. Imagine fur a mo
ment that son:tending his aged mother—a
mother to whom, perhaps, he owed no debt
for early lessons of love and kindness; of
whom, in the recollections of his early days
he can recall few pleasing memories, few
early admonitions from her lips, which
might have stood him in good stead through
life as his counsellor and guide.
Even the poor brutalized George, who
all this time had been dozing away in a
state of battered stupidity—even he had
some one who loved him, and whom ho
loved in return.
Of Nero, it was said, that over his tomb
some loving hand was seen each day to drop
a newer; so poor George found it impossi
ble to keep away from a girl in London
whom be loved, and who felt lonely without
him, although he had to return to Liver
pool in a few days to have another mauling,
for his friends wore going to get him up
another fight fur his own peculiar benefit, to
reimburse him fur sundry losses sustained
during his last engagement.
And so I drew near home: and on leaving
the train, my companion shook me warmly
by the hand, and expressed a hope that
when I next came to London I would give
him a call.
So he went on tits way, and I on mine;
and as I walked I thought; and the more I
thought, the more I became confused.—
Wrong seemed to be getting right, end right
seemed to have no merit attachable to it.—
My conscience told me that I ought to hold
that man and his profession in utter and su
preme abhorrence; but when I thought of
the little streaks of sunlight which ever and
anon broke through that dark and heavy
