Notes On Literature, Science, And Art.
Messrs . Jarrold and Sons , of Norwich and Paternoster Buildings , have just issued a neatly got up volume , to inculcate humanity to animals , from the pen of Miss Anna Seive ' lCdaughter of the Avell knoAvn poetess , Mrs . Sewell . The book deseri'es a very Avide circulation , as I hope to Shoiv by a fciv extracts in another Note . It is entitled Blade Beauty , his Grooms and Companions ; the Autobiograph y of a Horse . As no novel is more eutertainiugits fine humanity ought to recommend it to parents and teachers ,
, and also to all who have to do with the training , riding , or driving of horses . Where Miss Sewell has picked up all her information about horses I know not ; but I have read her book with immense pleasure , aud as a friend of the poor brute creation , I thank her for writing it ; hoping to do it fuller justice at a future time . Rose Cottage , Stolcesley .
She Would Be A Mason.*
SHE WOULD BE A MASON . *
THE funniest story that ever I heard , The funniest thing that ever occurred , Is the story of Mrs . Mehitahle Byrde , Who wanted to be a Mason . Her husband , Tom Byrde , is a Mason
true—As good a Mason as any of you ; He is Tiler of Lodge Cerulean Blue , And tiles and delivers the summons due ; And she wanted to be a Mason , too , This ridiculous Mrs . Byrde . She followed him round , this inquisitive wife ,
And nagged him and teased him half out of his life ; So , to terminate this unhallowed strife , He consented at last to admit her .
And first to disguise her from bonnet and sboon , This ridiculous lady resolved to put on His breech—ah ! forgive me , I mean pantaloon , And miraculously did it fit her ! The Lodge was at work in the Master ' s degree ;
The li ght Avas ablaze on the letter G ; High soared the pillars J and B ; The officers sat like Solomon , wise , The brimstone burned amid horrid cries ; The goat roamed wildly through the room ; The candidate begged ' em to let him go home , And the Devil himself stood up in the East , As proud as an alderman at a feast , When in came Mrs . Byrde .
