This man was devotedly attached to his master—all menials adored him—and if Kean hap pened to be dining with a party of gentlemen, which be was obliged to do sometimes. Miller—w bo was anx ious about his conducting himself with propriety as a father could possibly be, when it was getting late, and the servants were ordered to leave the room—would take his station near the dour, and from time to thee, maLe the following inquiries of any of the party who might pass him: 'How is master getting on, sir V 'Oh, very well, Miller,' would be the probable reply.

A PASSSAGE IN HAMLET EXPLAINED There are many, passages in Sllakspeare, the.naash ing of which, is obscure, and some, vt.e believe hi sirldoh the key is lost. Few of our readers, we presonse, have understoal the sense of a portion t f the following. Ham. 0 Jephthah judge of Israel, whata insists had At. thou! Pol. Whets treasure 'indite, my Lord"! Ham. Why— Oae fair daughter, and ea mnie. 2'he scalticit he loved passing well. Pol. Still on my daughter. Heat Am I not 'i the right, old Jephthah Pol. Ifyou call me Jephthah, my lord, I have daughter, that I love passing well. Ham Nay, that follows not. Pot What follows then, my Lord ? Ham. Why, as by lot, God mot, and thou you knew? it came to pass as most like it was. • -- • ;.•• Shakspeare was seldom, if evei, guilty of writing' nonsense, and yet, knowing this, we quest - lea_ if,ontay- , have not accused him of it, in the last reply of 1 - Loskt,,, given above. As the passage steeds withoutimplanit:- tier, it seems almost hopeless to attaAg - stlp compre. ' hensible idea to it.

The meaning is explained by refetenest tC an old Mut very rare ballad, which Hamlet qttikes in the passage given, and which was for a - long time supposedtst be oar. The title of this ballad is, "Jeptha 4of Is- lael." It was current in Stiakspeare s time, enii bo s makestlatnlet allude to it in banttiring Pnionius.— The first stanza of the ballad eamtnins the verses quo• ed in the passage, and is as follisw. , : • I have read that many years ago,. • When Jeptha, judge of Israel, Had one fair daughter and nu more, Whom he loved passing well; And at brio', God wot, • .
