Since, that in all one sceptrelcss may claim
Of true nobility to suit the name,
She is right royal, and so approve
My loving homage. All tliut painter’s art <
And poet’s fantasy delight to find
In cpieeulincss is hers : the noble mind
The stately hearing, and the gracious heart;
The voice most musical; the brow serene.
And beaming benediction—like a queen ;
And oh ! sueli peerless beauty, that 1 swear

Hath found or icigued beneath a jeweled

I flatter qeens to call her queenly fair! ”
FUN AND FUN MAKERS.
BY MARY K. BRYAN
Comic writing. like skating. seems a
very easy thing to do. The cureless m
souciuuce of the style, the lightness of the
matter, the off-hand, spontaneous character
of this kind of composition, make it seem
as ea v y us blowing soap bubbles. Those
who read it are apt to entertain a rather
contemptuous idea of the thing as brain
work, and imagine they could do quite as
well, or better. It is only when they at
tempt it that they find out the difference
between easy reading and easy writing,
and learn that in literature as in dress, the
studied negligence of demi-tollette requires
more art than full costume, But the ait
must be well disguised. The moment
there is a suspicion of elaboration, or oi
starch or stilts, the laugh dies a premature
death. But care must be takeu tliut ease
does not degenerate into slipshod slack
ness, nor happy audacity into coarse
ness. Comic writing requires also sim
plicity of expression and a terse, cpi
grammatic style, for the best jokes
aie weakened if we must peer through
a cloud of words to discover the
p,int. And all this refers ouly to the
mode of expression—the outer hull—hut
unless there is a sound kernel of humor
within, the joke will not be worth crack
ing. So some writing is not so easy as it
seems, and if the fun-making talent is not
inherent, then mauling rails or reading
y[,- 8 's novels through without
skipping is a light pastime compared to it.
Yet the great corporation of Goosequill
embraces many such regular ticklers of
the public mind, aud scores of pens arc
employed in filling the comic papcis,
comic almanacs, and tliejjokers’ column of
weekly aud daily journals with wit, or
what purports to be wit. It is consoling
to know that these are also sure of read
ers. There will always he a large class
who go to the play for the sake ot the
farce, and who seize upon the funny col
umn of a newspaper first of all, aud peruse
it to themselves with quiet grins of appre
ciation, or aloud to their friends, (if so
cially inclined,) with guffaws of enjoy
ment.
llood, and Lamb, andMaginn wrote for
the humorous columns in their day ; and
Elia, in his inimitable way gives us a pic
•ure of himself eking out his slender sala
ry by manufacturing witticisms for the
Morning I’ost at a penny a joke. Writing
them, too, at 5 o’clock in the morning,
without so much as the stimulating cup
of bohea that was so dear to the wits of
that period. Had ho ouly had a cup of
geunine cafe noir, one cannot help fancy
ing that the Jokes would have been of bet
ter quality than they rosily were, if we
judge by that one specimen about the
•• pink stockings,” which he has given us
as the best of the batch. Such as they
are, he frankly owns they cost him a deal
of trouble, and one can imagine him sav
agely scratching his head over their con
coction, as was said to b his habit when
composing. And par parentheic, I re
member noticing when a cbild that every
circus clown I chanced to see had a bald
head, and wondering if this was the nor
mal condition of clowns, or if they rubbed
their pates bald in the efforts to originate
funny things. Poor motley knights of
the sawdust ring ! they earn their wages
without doubt, in having to make people
laugh as a business, when often, most like
ly, their own hearts are heavy enough.
But the jokes of the Charles Lamb pe
riod, and of an era preceding it, consist
ed principally of quaint conceits that sound
attecled aud far-fetched at this day, for fun
lias its phases and fashions as well as any
thing else. The quirks aud quibbles, and
plays upon words that constituted wit in
tue Elizabethan era would hardly be tole
rated now. The old British dramatists
(Slinkspearc not excepted) must have used
tip a deal of good brain material in origi
nating the smart sayings aud quibbling
retorts of their dramatis persorue which
are now looked upon as blemishes rather
than beauties, and usually omitted in stage*
representations. For one tiling, they are
by no means delicate, or even decent.—
They jar upon the modern sense of refine
tsent, and smack ol the pot house or the
kitchen. They contain double meanings
and coarse allusions thattwould not be rel
ished by the least fastidious among a mod
dern audience. But the rouged, diamonded
court belles of that day, listened to these not
only witli complacency, hut with applause.
From which it appears, that though mel
ancholy moralists groan over the degen-
cracy of the day, aud sigh for the “good
old tißies,” yet, iu mot respects, we are
taller than our aucestors. If not more
modest iu fact, we are certainty so in ap
pearance. Tbe truth is, there is not so
much evil abroad as police reports would
twd us to believe. The people of “the
good old times" covered up their wicked
and eds with darkness and silence ; ours are
trumpeted abroad by the thousand tongued
prees. while senatorial artists and report
ers show them up in the highest colors of
imagination. Progress has set a sentinel
t tie of telegraph around the world, aud
the press has lit a watch tire upon every
height of civilization. There isnot nm
WKikedneas than of old, there is only more
told u* lU&t °a SLakB P earo has
yiliaiD.'’ y, as a jreuerjd"" 1 ' 6 an<l be a
laughs heartily an/has a frank’ ° n ° wUo
* r™. .if, „„ ; £***?£
vho has out a drachm of folly i n his m w
kas pounds of worse matter in his
composition." Who can imagine Lady
Macbeth laughing a genuine out-ringing
laugh, though there is no doubt she could
smile like a syren.
After all, the genius of fun finds fullest
expression through the pencil rather tliau
the pen—through pictures, rather than ep
igrams. Not sueli lame caricatures as
adorn the columns of the “ Little Jokers "
and “ Pkuiniy Fellows ” of (lie newsdeal
ers, but the exquisite farcical creations of
Cruikslmnks, the whimsical originalities
of Hogarth, the grotesque dreams of Hol
bein. Hus the mantle of these comic
masters descended upon uny of our coun
trymen ? Surely not upon Mr. Naat—
prolific illustrator of many newspapers
He lias caricaturing talent, but uo comic
originality.
Next to pictures, the truest exponent of
fun is the pantomime—that rare panto
mime, whicli is a gesture ; a distoriion of
the face expresses volumes of drollery.
Hare indeed is the “grand grotesque” of
pantomime farce—the quaiut, wild bunior
of the imitative mimic, who transfixes his
shape aud countenance infinitely. Muu
den was said to he its originator ; and the
critics of that day* declare that the school
begun and ended with him. ”He stauds
single and unaccompanied as Hogarth.
I Hogarth had uo followers mid uo
predecessors ; so with Munden.” lie
is said to be the only one who
could literally make faces; who had a
gallery of physiognomies at his com
mand, eacli differing in toto front
the other, and each more droll titan the
precoding. Munden, however, lias had
followers, though no equal. Once I saw
an individual in privutc life who might
have rivalled even Munden had the stage
been bis sphere. Oh! the irresistible
drollery of Hint man’s slightest word or
gesture, the faces lie could make in quick
succession, like an elfish panorama—faces
of Buch all-conquering oddity that the
most rigid of risible muscles were thrown
into convulsions of laughter. And,
strangest phenomenon, this mull had so
widely mistaken his vocatiou as to be a
Methodist preacher .'
Are the Americans a witty people? is a
question often discussed, and formerly
rather contemptuously negatived by our
American cousins, who would credit us
ouly with a dry kind of conversational
humor, made up chiefly of eccentricities
of speech and manner, each as character
ized the late Mr. Lincoln in the telling of
his “little anecdotes." But since the ad
vent of the lamented Artemus Ward, of
Bret Hnrle, and Mark Twain, it is being
conceded that Americans possess a humor
ous vein, original and vigorous, if not
subtle and classical. But why have we
no such paper as Punch? We have
comic sheets by the score, why is not the
best wit of the nation concentrated upon
some publication, that would bo felt to
have a national character, that would
make itself successful as an instru
ment of ridicule, scourging with
the keen lash of satire—the cryiug polit
ical and soeini sins of the country ? Such
a paper, while dealing in the most gro
tesque humor, the mast cutting sarcasm,
might be at once poignant and polished.
It is in these qualities that newspaper pbil
lippics too olteu fail. They are too much
in the bludgeon and battle-ax order ; they
make to* little use of the small sword of
ridicule, so effective in the hands ef
French journalists—the delicate Damascus
blade, all point and polish, that glitters as
it wounds. Instead, they fall to work with
the butcher knife of abuse and billingsgate,
intent upon hacking their adversary out of
existeuce.
But if we have no Punch, we of the
South have at least one comic institution.
We have Mardi Gras day in our represen
tative city —Mardi Gras the festival of fun
—when our fun-makers may each be as
original as he like* ; may each bestride his
favorite hobby, aud dust bis bells to what
tunc he pleases. Who will not say with
Elia, “ Beshrew the man, wko, on such a
day, should affect to stand aloof. I am
none of those sneakers. 1 am free of the
corporation, and care net who knows it. —
He that meets nte to-day shall meet no
wiseacre, I can tell him. No need of cer
emony among friends; are we not all
friends ? Have we not all a touch of that
same —you understand me—a speck of the
motley ?”
Courage at the Last.
T he excellent Sir William Forbes, the bi
ographer of Beattie, uttered this : " Tell
those," said he, “that are drawing down to
the bed of death, from my experience, that
it has no terrors ; that in the hour when it
is most wanted, there is mercy with the
Most High ; and that some change takes
place which tits the soul to meet its God."
When the loyal Karl of Derby came to
bis execution, although he hud said in
previous times, that lie could die iu fight,
but knew not how it might be on tbe
scaffold, lie now said lie could lay bis
bend on the block as cheerfully us on his
pillow. " Let my people know," said the
pious Archdeacon Alymcr, “ that their pas
tordied undaunted, and not afraid ofdeath.
I bless my God that I have no doubt, no
fear, no reluctance, but an assumed confi
dence in the sin-overcoming merit of Jesus
Christ.” 80 said President Finley : “Give
my love to tbe people of Princeton ; tell
them that I am going to die. and that I aui
not afraid of death.” “Oh Ido not fear to
die,” said Mrs. East in dying ; “you will
find the word of God sure, all will be ful
filled, and you will find it so." These
were the words of Haliburton : “I, poor,
weak, timorous man, once as much afraid
of death as any—l, that have been many
years under tbe terror of death, come now,
in tbe mercy of God and the power of His
grace, composedly aud with joy to look
death in the face.”
It often appears that those from whom
constitutional courage or philosophic firm
ness could least b expected, go down to
the valley of death with most complete
triumph over their past apprehensions. In
the recollections of many, some such ex
ample of a dying friend will occur with
convincing power and tenderness. They
tell us that this absence of fear is no fruit
of nature, of habit, or of strenuous effort,
but tbe gift of Him who gave to death Us
terrors when he made it the doom of sin,
and who takes those teirors away when
sin is blotted out through the blood of tbe
Lamb.

Tea.
The people of the United Slates arc
enormous consumers of ten. and the
repeal of duty iu last July will no doubt
iucrease the sales. It is, however, becom
ing a question witli physicians, if the ner
vous system of many persons, especially
women, is not as much injured by excess
ive drinking as by the improper use of
liquors. This is accounted for by the
excessive adulteration of the tea generally
used. In a recent test of teas in England,
out of twenty-seven samples of black tea,
six only were genuine, and one had not a
tea leaf iu it. The greeu teas suffer most,
A light blue powder of four parts of plas
ter of Paris amt three parts of Prus
sian blue is mixed by the Chinese
with the teas during the roasting process,
when the leaves are to be removed from
the pan. and then the workmen rapidly
turn them over until the proper color is
obtuined. About an ounce of the coloring
matter is used for fourteen pounds, so that
every hundred pounds of the green tea
usually sold at the highest price contains a
half pound of the blue aud gyuipsum and
goes down the throuts of the drinkers.
The black teas are usually purer, but
from some cause the best qualities are
not easily fouud, and command high
prices, especially first-class Oolong, which
by many is regarded as the best of (lie
varieties used. Thu black tcus are also
greatly adulterated in China, and espe
cially iu this country, by mixing teas
damageJ on the voyage or unsaleable
in China, and imported for the express
purpose.

Tlio Savannah Dally Morning News is ac
