Had Shakespeare Been Country Editor.

Miss Juliet Capulet will celebrate her fourteenth birthday on Lammas Eve. I’rettv big girl to have a nurse, your correspondent thinks. Rev. Mr. Lawrence preached at the meeting-house last Sunday, his subject being. " Love thy neighbour.” Mr. Romeo Montague and Miss Juliet Capulet are keeping steady company now. Looks like Paris was cut out. How about it, Rosaline? Mr. 'Capulet’s hired man. Peter, expects to finish his fencing this week. Too much skylarking on the streets. Somebody will get hurt next. This means you. Meivutio. A word to the wise, ete. Your correspondent attended a sur-prise-party tendered to Mr. and Mrs. Capulet Saturday eve. Among the other merry revelers were Mr. Anselne and sister, Mrs. Vitruvio, Mr. Placentia and nieces, Mr. Mercutio and his brother Valentine, Mr. Valentio and his cousin Tybalt. Miss Lucio, and Miss Helena. The table groaned under all the delicacies of ye season, an I all agreed that an enjoyable time was had until ye wee sma’ hours. Fresh lot of ice-cream soda at the Apotheearv’s. All new flavours. —Puck.
