V J THE SCHOOL FOR IDLERS. DT SIMON IT RE. Tiic School for Idlers is suddenly "played out." I have arrived at the end of the Records. Bro. Penn. whose letters have enlightened the wondering community upon the subject of sea voyages towards the sunny Softtli, came fb an untimely end. He arrived at Port Royal and landed without a proper pass, cimugu of Post Commandants having just taken * place,) and as he was taking notes on one of the principal streets, was arrested as a spy, and sent North on the return of the " Diogene s Tub." 80 chagrined was he, that he did not report to the School, and was expelled by the members. He had many friends in the School, who at once took offence at so summaiy a proceeding, and voted themselves no longer Idlers. A new draft hiking place at this time, swept what remained of the institution into the ranks of the disabled, &c. The President, willing to stand his chance, refused to commute, but was rejected on account of not being able to masticate "hard tack" satisfactorilyt ieveral trials were made, but the venerable man was obliged to stifle his patriotism. Several members of the School immediately remembered that they were British subjects and adopted a foreign accent in their speech, a few had pressing business in Canada, and only one, unable to pay the commutation fee or procure a substi-1 tute, went willingly into the ranks of the Union army, and is now serving the coun* * *1 Ktila try gallantly, m one 01 mow; m uvu? offices at the Provost Marshal's. This is all I have to relate of the final termination of the School. A dozen pages following the regular Records are taken up with Brother Shorthand's essays on Pho" nography, which are too dull to be re- j pea ted here. The final thing is a short poem, which, the marginal notes say, Bro. Penn picked up in a Restaurant at Port Royal. See if you like it: HAM AND EGGS. The latter portion of a swine. The produce of a hen. Combined and cooked with proper care, Will please the most 01 men. John Ball may eat his fill of beeC And Pat his mutton lege, But all I eat from week to week . Ia simply ham and egga. Perhaps It Isn't just my choice, But down here where I board, ' We get the best of ham and eggs, The country can afford, So, quite contented, every day, > J stir my luster pegs, "1 For fear some Interloper*? get *5fy share of ham and eggs. The other day we bad a change, Some thought it rather good . To leave their wonted ham and egga , For any other food; Bo I submitted to toe n?* As meekly as a lamb, And when we took the cover off, Twas simply eggs and ham. How modi of these I've taken in, I'm sore I hardly know, But every morning now I feel Inclined to grant and crow. Pre drank the cup of pleasure dry. And sucked its very dregs, But, oh i I fear there's ne'er an end To Jones's ham and eggs.
