Horse Marines for Hampshire.

The Hampshire Campaign would, perhaps, be improved if a Naval
Battalion were brigaded with the Military Forces. The Blue Jackets
might impart a serviceable lesson to the Cavalry in the matter of
picketing. A ship when stationary, is picketed in a way, and is said
to ride thereat, so far, indeed, unlike a horse which, whilst in tether,
neither rides nor is ridden. But your Jack Tar would very soon
teach your bold Dragoon to bring his horse to an anchor.

Teetotal Tipplers.

Bx a Liquor Law some, to curb other men, wish;
Meanwhile every man Jack of them drinks like a Fish.

A Real Hero.—Last week a gentleman named Smith saved
train by exactly fifty seconds. He is now in town.

The " Irish Element."—Whiskev.
