A CATASTROPHE.
Only a cyclist gigantic, Astride of a sixty-inch, wheel, Eyeing sideways a maiden romantic, As he drives on his swift steed of steel. Only a poor little tabby, Slinking slyly across the smooth street, Her mottled fur dirty and shabby, Out she darts from beneath the girl's feet. Only a sky-rocket header, While the maiden just stands still and stares ; A poor feline, who couldn't be deader, And a whopping old bill for repairs.
Pianoforte Playing.— Mr W. H. Webbes' new and original system of teaching the pianoforte (especially for adults), reading at sight made easy technical work facilitated, rhymthimioal difficuitie' rapidly overcome, good phrasing accomplished, and a delicate touch obtained. Terms and full particulars on application at the Music Stand, 198 Queen-street opposite Albert Hotel. *
