It is believed that there is room for such a periodical, if conducted on the old principle of giving slashing articles, instead of mere essays or puffs. We believe the name has not yet been fixed uion.” Wc have the greatest pleasure in presenting the intending Slasher with a name- “The Givenoquarterly Review.” But it will come a Crasher. “The world is weary of the past,” as Shelley says. The cry of the arena bores us. An old lady whe’was in the habit of declaring, after the occurence of any event, that she had predicted it, was one day ck-verly “sold” by her worthy spouse, who, like many others wc wot of, bad got tired of hearing her eternal “1 told you so.” Hushing intp the house, breathless with excitement, lie dropped into a chair, elevated his hands, and exclaimed—“ Oh, my dear, what do you think? The old cow has gone and eaten up our grindstone !” The old lady was ready", and hardly waited to hear the la-.t word, she screamed out at the top of her lungs—“l told you so ; I told you so ; you always let it stand out o’ doors.” DAMS’ NEW PATENT DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVER.
