DICKQUE DOUT. * * * * * RECOGNITION OF NILSSON. Not that we mean to "patronize," fair Swede; No, no, indeed! 'Tis homage, honest homage that we bring; For you can sing! Pray, do not think we build you any throne On _skill_ alone; There's nothing regal in a music box-- In simple _vox_! But when an ardent spirit warms the strain-- When it is plain The artist feels the passion of the scene-- She's then our Queen! But, dear CHRISTINA! we should still declare The Fates unfair, Unless she lived as chastely as the rose; As NILSSON does! Still, still we hesitate!--We will confess, (For _you'd_ not guess!) We'd have her--that the likeness be complete-- Young, fair, and sweet! In fine, (and now we'll tell you everything,) If she can sing, And act, and feel, and look, and _be_ like you, Why, that will do! * * * * * [Illustration: THE YOUNG DEMOC-RATS, ENCOURAGED BY THE OLD RAT DANA, COME TO GRIEF IN TRYING TO PUT OUT THE HOFFMAN LIGHT.] * * * * * A New Pierian Spring. The Principal of the "Student's Home," at V------, N.Y., advertising the advantages of his school, makes the following telling appeal, which we should think would be hard to resist by such as find study interfere with digestion. "COME TO V------. Its Mineral Water strengthens the body, and its Seminary the mind." The hope of eventually leaving those classic shades in such a state of two-fold invigoration, should prove inspiring to the dyspeptic and studious. Whether this constant cramming of the mind and purging of the body be the true secret of longevity as well as of scholarship, we know not; we should judge, however, from the appearance and conversation of students in general, that a system directly the reverse of the above mentioned process would be more certain of turning out the real article. * * * * * Spare Us!
