" Alone we did It."
Oh I the very type of a pert, proud prig, Is the cold, the scornful, red-tape Whig, Such as V— — M.P.
Of all that's done 'tie " mine" and " my," In all that's said 'tin " I" and " 1"— " My friends"—" myself "—and " me."
" Three great events have passed," said he; " Threeletters crushed Monopoly, Death-struck by every line: The first, Lord John's—that peer of peers; The second, Henry Labouchere's;

The Athenaeum gives an account of an unpublished poem by Ariosto, which has been discovered in the Palatine Library of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. It is called "Rinaldo Ardito," which the Athena-um translates "Orlando the Bold"— why, does not appear; for although the names are etymologically the same, in the romantic poems of Italy, Rinaldo Lord of 3lontalbano is a distinct person, and second in fame only to his cousin Orlando—" Conte d'Anglante e gran Signor di Brava." The existence of this newly-found poem was, it appears, unknown to Ariosto's own family. The manuscript compnses three cantos complete and por- tions of the two following; but it wauts the Srst canto, and is a more fragment. The handwriting is said to be that of Ariosto.
