_Dragons' Blood._--A peculiar custom exists amongst a class, with whom

unfortunately the schoolmaster has not yet come very much in contact, when

supposed to be deserted or slighted by a lover, of procuring dragons'

blood; which being carefully wrapped in paper, is thrown on the fire, and

the following lines said:

"May he no pleasure or profit see,

Till he comes back again to me."
