PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.
HUMBUG IS DEAD!
Pan is dead !—The Pan of the New World!
" Wbat, and Hermes? Time enthralleth
All thy cunning, Hermes, thus,—
And the ivy blindly crawleth
Round thy brave caduceus?"
Even so. We know how the news, according to Plu-
tarch, came to the ship driving towards " the isles of
Paxes," and that, too, when the passengers were taking a
cup after supper; a voice that called unto one Thamtjs
and that with so loud a voice as made all the company
amazed. Then the voice said aloud to him, " When you
are arrived at Palodes, take care to make it known that
the great God Pan is dead." The coincidence is strange !
But when the Persia quitted New York, a voice followed
her, calling upon Captain Judkins, and saying, " Oh,
Judkins ! when you anive at Liverpool, take care to make
it known that Barnttm, by a speculation in clocks, has gone
to almighty smash : Humbug is dead ! "

Oh, dear ! what can the matter be ?
Oh, dear ! what shall we do?

Oh, dear ! what can the matter be?

But we are too late for the fair.
