or anythin'! How would it do to go back? No,
too much of a grind. Daresay I can manage to fox up somethin'. I shall
tell the Chief what he said about my system. Chief don't quite know
what I _can_ do yet--this will open his eyes a bit.

[_And it does._

THE HARE APPARENT.--I forgot to record last week that Saturday, the
14th, was the hundredth night of the _Pair of Spectacles_, and the
silver wedding of Mr. HARE'S stage career. The occasion was celebrated
at the Garrick with a supper given by Mr. HARE to old friends and
comrades. It was an illustration of "_The Hare and many Friends_,"
only it wasn't a fable--it was a fact. As closely associated with HARE
at various dinner-tables, I beg to sign myself,

CURRENTE JELLI CALAMO.
