A Study of Hamlet.

The more we study Hamlet the more convinced we become that he was insane. He hated the idea of having a stepfather, os most children do, and brooded over it until his brain lost its balance. Some children accuse their stepfather of stealing the affections of their mother, but Hamlet went a step farther and declared that he had pat bis father out of the way. And all because be had partaken too heartily of the funeral-baked meats that he had warmed over into hash for the marriage supper. This gave him the nisiSr mare, in which he thought he saw liis father’s ghost, though it was pfobably nothing more than a portion of the family washing flapping in the moonlight. Hamlet had been a gay youth up to that time, as Ophelia could testify, but after that he dressed entirely in black, covering himself with an “inky cloak” to enhance the prevailing gloom of his appearance.— Cincinnati Saturday Night. , , “I believe St. Jacobs Oil to be the very best remedy known to mankind," says Mr. Huberts, business manager of this paper.— Milwaukee, Win., Sentinel.
