H^ had not bssn gons very long before he returned, with cash in hand for all the tick- ets for Holland's bsnafit. And thus was the objjct gained for which George Holland tumbled into the water. Holland, unlike most Englishmen, did not put the H's in the wrong place, but navar used them at all. He was very sansitive upon this point. He was reminded of this defect once, by Bengough, the scene-painter, in the most pointed manner, but so that it was scarcely possible Holland could have noticad, wha...tever his feelings of chagrin might have been. Bongough, meeting Holland one morning, sa- luted him thus—" Ah, 'Ollanl, my boy^ 'ow are you ? 'ow is Mrs. 'O. .''' The effect upon the .bystanders was irre- sistible. Who does not remember poor Harry Marks, the violin- ist, or rather, who could forget him, that ever saw his little round,, dumpling figure, or have heard him discourse most eloquent music with his violin .' We profess to be no judges of musical excellence ; but, for our own uncultivated tastes, we would at any time have gone farther to have heard Henry Marks than we would Ole Bull.
