What a wunderful thing is Music! It didn't seem at all
strange to me that not one single word was spoke all the heavening,
but ewery word sung, and in a forren tung, too, that I didn't
hunderstand, the bewtiful story kep my atention fixt the hole time,
and I warked home in the poring rain, werry thankful, and jest a
leetle prowd, that in one thing, at least, I was not xacly like BROWN,
who slept carm and content thro the hole of the larst hact.

THE FATE OF SALVATION ARMY GENERALS.
"Each General is, by a deed of appointment, executed and
placed in safe custody with certain formalities, &c."--_Gen.
Booth's Letter to the Times, Nov._ 27.
This is dreadful! Why should the Generals be executed? What have they
done to deserve this cruel fate? And what is the use of placing them
in safe custody _after_ they have been executed? And what are the
"certain formalities"? We pause for a reply to all these questions.

SEASONABLE.--CHRISTMAS IS COMING.--In the _Morning Post_, one day last
week, appeared an announcement to the effect that Madame NOEL had
left one residence in the West End for another in the same quarter.
Odd this, just now. But go where she will, _Le bon pere_ NOEL will be
in London and the country on the 25th instant; so the best way is to
prepare to receive Father Christmas.
