MUSIC RATE HARMS.

A spitfire little woman, Now looking most inhuman, Who bounces right across the room with fury in her glare ; Who madly shakes her ruffs up, And threatening pulls her cuffo up, While vengeance Beems to stand up in her ev'ry rampant hair. As you survey the Gorgon, Chill terror fills each organ Of your palpitating, paralysed, and scared anatomy ; You find your knees a-knocking, Your heart is in your stocking, And you feel a, wild, insane imputee to turn right round and flee. You feel still wusser then as She shakes her hands in menace, And looks as though she meant to start to tear and scratch and bite, In mad Satanic revel — ! In fact, to play the dcvil — A fury who for carnage has no end of appetite. Who is this f emafe terror ? Tell me if I'm in error ; Is she some low-bred fish-hag on a horrid rowdydow? Is she some wild virago, That lowest female plague, oh ? A filthy-tongued and slangy haybag itching for a row? O ! Btow your hanky-panky, You're surely going cranky, To Bpoak of this harmonious meeting in that horrid way, You ignorant gohanno, You see that there piano ? — Well, she's a well-bred, modern beHe preparing for to play. ,■-'", I thought all people knew it, ''*'- The women always do it; ; I'll own her manner need make nervous folks ' hysterical — j But do not let it fright you, She really will not bite you, When not piano-thumping she's a very gentle girl

" Out of little things -what great things arise " is an old saying, and, in the case of tho boarding of the steamer Pathan by tho police on arrival at Melbourne, was fully exemplified. On searching the vessel for the Irish Informers, Detective Mackay— one of the moßt intelligent members of the force— arrested a man named Butler, who indignantly denied that he was, or had been, in any way connected with the Phoenix Park tradegy, and stated that at the time it occurred he was in New Zealand, to which place he was returning. Macky asked, "What part of New Zealand?" and Butler replied, "Auckland." "And who do you know there P" queried the detective. " Why, G&rrett Bros., of Wakefield-atreet ; and, as a further proof* I have a pair of their everlasting boots on," And in consequence . of that convincing statement he was allowed togo at large.
