THE CURATE TO HIS SLIPPERS.

Take, oh take those boots away
That so nearly are out-worn;
And those shoes remove, I pray--
Pumps that but induce the corn;
But my slippers bring again,
Bring again--
Works of love, but worked in vain,
Worked in vain!

Our Own First-Class Clipper sends us the following from the
_Manchester Guardian_, Dec. 11th:--

GROCERY.--Wanted, a live Sugar Wrapper. Apply, &c.

SHOE TRADE.--Wanted, good Hand-sewn Men. Apply, &c.

DRAPERY.--Wanted, for the first three weeks in January, several
Men, for sale. Apply by letter, stating experience, &c., to ----.

Would a Spirit Rapper be accepted for the first? and a man who had got
a stitch in his side for the second? As for the third, there are so
many people sold at Christmas time, that to provide a few men for sale
would be no very difficult task.

NOTICE.--Rejected Communications or Contributions, whether MS.,
Printed Matter, Drawings, or Pictures of any description, will in no
case be returned, not even when accompanied by a Stamped and Addressed
Envelope, Cover, or Wrapper. To this rule there will be no exception.
