_Croker's Legends of the Lakes_. * * * * * PATHETIC REJOINDER. A celebrated literary character, in a northern metropolis, had a black servant, whom he occasionally employed in beating covers for woodcocks and other game. On one occasion of intense frost, the native of Afric's sultry shores was nearly frozen to death by the cold and wet of the bushes, which sparkled, (but not with fire-flies,) and on which, pathetically blowing his fingers, he was heard to exclaim, in reply to an observation of his master, that "the woodcocks were very, scarce," "Ah, massa, me wish woodcock never been!" * * * * * WHO TOLD YOU? "Lady Racher is put to bed," said Sir Boyle Roche to a friend. "What has she got?"--"Guess."--"A boy?"--"No, guess again."--"A girl?"--"Who told you?" * * * * * The supplement to VOL. XII., containing Titles, Preface, Index, &c., with a fine Steel Plate PORTRAIT of T. MOORE, Esq. and an Original Memoir, is published with the present Number. * * * * * LIMBIRD'S EDITION OF THE _Following Novels are already Published:_ s. d.
