No doubt you'll see it well put through.
Until you've settled that small bill,
(As honorable debtors will,)
We fancy you will not keep still.
You will admit the tender plea
Of "broken faith;" but when you see
Your Red Skin, you won't let him be!
Just so with us. We don't go back
Of _our_ affair! We were not slack
In justice to this Devil's pack!
They settle with the wrong concern;
And as they never, _never'll_ learn,
We shoot 'em, and don't care a _dern!_

EDITORIAL WASHING-DAY.
Observe PUNCHINELLO'S Cartoon, in which you shall behold the editorial
laundresses of New-York city having a washy time of it all around. There
is a, shriek of objurgation in the air, and a flutter of soiled linen on
the breeze. Granny MARBLE, to the extreme left of the picture, clenches
her fists over the pungent suds, and looks fight at Granny JONES, of the
_Times_. The beaming phiz of Granny GREELEY looms up between the two,
like the sun in a fog. But the real _Sun_ in a fog is to be seen to the
extreme right. There you behold Granny DANA, shaking her "brawny bunch
of fives" in the face of Granny YOUNG, whose manner of wringing out the
linen, you will observe, is up to the highest _Standard_ of that branch
of art. Further away, Granny TILTON flutters her linen with spiteful
flourish, nettled by the vituperation of Granny HASTINGS, who hangs up
her _Commercial_ clothes on the line. The _tableau_ is an instructive
one; and it is to be hoped that all the U-Lye soaps used by the
washerwomen is used up by this time, and that they will replace it with
some having a sweeter perfume.

BOOK NOTICES.
MRS. JERNINGHAM'S JOURNAL. New-York: Charles Scribner & Company.
A very cleverly-written narrative, in smooth verse, detailing the
experience of a bride who took to flirting early in her matrimonial
career, but was saved from coming to grief by the decisive action of a
stern husband. The book contains a capital lesson for the Girl of the
Period, whose follies are satirized in it with a sharp pen.
