But will remaine in former Will,
and be not over set,

By any light conceite,

which doth procure unrest,

So bring disdaine, whereas delight
should build within the brest.
No, no, I am disposed

to speake this by the way:

But Trust me Will, beleeve me now,

I doubt not as I say.

For I am firmly fixt,

thy friendship will not faile,
Although that absence might procure
the same for to prevaile.
Well, for a vauntless vow,

accept this at my hand:

As I have beene so will I bee
good Will to understand.

Could Yates's "friende W. S.," his "onely Will," "who went to dwell in London," have been young Will Shakespeare, who, at the publication of those verses was in his eighteenth year.-FENNELS'S Shakespeare Repository, p. 6, 1853.

THE LATEST SHAKESPEARIAN" FIND."-Mr. Savage's discovery of a hitherto "unknown play by Shakespeare," bearing the title of Irus, has already vanished into thin air. Mr. P. A. Daniel had no sooner inspected Mr. Savage's pamphlet than he identified the passages from Irus as belonging to a comedy by Shakespeare's contemporary Chapman, entitled The Blinde Beggar of Alexandria, which was published in London in 1598, "as it had been sundry times publickly acted." The original possessor of the note-book had simply confounded the title of the leading character with the title of the play; or possibly it was acted under more than one title, according to a not uncommon practice of that time. No doubt, says the Daily News, the "Secretary and Librarian of Shakespeare's birth-place" will be more cautious in future about finding "an unmistakable Shakespearian ring" in passages of common-place prose. The history of the "find," like that of the discovery of rich treasures of Shake

spearian documents in a lumber room of the Stratford Guildhall the other day, shows the necessity for submitting questions of this kind to the judgment of experts.-Birmingham Times.

PETRUCHIO'S HORSE.-Medical Classics, a purely Esculapian publication, in its October number unwittingly supplies a capital illustration of Petruchio's horse. It hits it off by means of a "Chart of a Horse, Showing at a Glance many of the Diseases to which it is Subject.' ." Unluckily we can not give here the cut itself, suffice it to say, that this sectionally numbered sketch of equine woe-be-goneity represents a beast that might be fitly named " Baelbec " like Mark Twain's, because it is" such a magnificent ruin." As for the key to his distresses, a sorry list given below the chart, here it is:

1. Caries of the lower jaw.-2. Fistula of the Parotid duct.-3. Bony tumor of the lower jaw.-4. Swelling from pressure of the bridle.—5. Pollevil.-6. Inflamed parotid gland (commonly called mumps).-7. Inflamed jugular vein.-8. Fungus tumor, produced by pressure of the collar.—9. Fistulæ in the withers.-10. Saddle gall or sit fat.-11. Tumor of the elbow (shoe-boil),-12. Hardening of the knee.-13. Clap of the back sinews (swelled sinews).-14. Mallanders.-15. Speedy cut.-15 a. splint. -16. Ringbone.-17. Tread on the coronet (caking).—18. Quittor.-19. Sandcrack.-20. Contracted foot (ring foot of a foundered horse).-21. Capped hock.-22. Sallenders.-23. Spavin.-24. Curb.-25. Swelled sinews. -26. Thick leg (caused by interfering).-27. Grease.-31. Rat's tail.-32. Injury from pressure of the girth.-33. Atrophy or wasting away of the muscles of the shoulder (Sweenie).—34. Shoulder joint lameness.

Compare this with Taming of the Shrew, III, i, 49-57, and take your choice.
