TO THE EDITOR .
June la , 1847 . DEAR SIR AND BROTHER—I lately dreamed a dream ! there was much mystification which I scarce remember ; but 1 thought that the statue of the late Grand Master and Brother Benjamin Bond Cabbell were hob and nob over a flagon . — " Bro . Cabbell , " said the Statue , " that wasn ' t a clever trick of yours after all on the 9 th of June . " Would you believe it ? the statue winked knowingly and touched the tip of his own nose ; but that was not all , for he intimated a doubt whether Bro . C . ' s mother knew he was out—Credat Judeus—non . ego . FIDUS .

SIR AND BROTHER , —Looking over the papers a few days since , the following struck my attention . I thought of enclosing it to a certain Brother , but 1 was fearful he might find me out and pounce upon me instead of yourself . The Jackdaws and the Nightingale . —Once upon a time all the wild beasts of the forest were assembled at a concert given by jackdaws , who pretended they had some great secrets to reveal in the Art of Music .
The ass vociferated loudly in praise of the chattering choruses of the new musicians , and all the audience were in raptures , except the lion , the elephant , and the horse , who after listening awhile , departed silentl y together , and took the nearest way to the forest , where a nightingale was singing all alone amongst the trees . And whilst the foolish herd were regaling themselves with the noise and grimaces of the jackdaws , these noble animals were first transformed into the likeness of gods by the
wondrous melody of the invisible stranger . " Plow strange , " said Pan , who understood these things very well , and came up at the moment of the transfiguration with his water pipe" that all the beasts should run after jackdaws , when they might listen to nightingales . "—G . S . P . But oh , pray be careful , for I hear that a Cowan has been bribed to turn Queen ' s evidence against you . A GOOSE THAT DREADS THE Fox .
