Hamlet, III., 2. Often as the story from which the church derived its familiar name has been told, no narrative dealing with New York would be quite complete without it. As it deals with Joseph Jefferson, let it be related in the words of the stage Rip Van Winkle's Reminiscences. Mr.

'I am not so blind, Sam, as not to have seen, a long time since, that you entertain something more than a friendly feeling towards Mrs. Winkle's maid, said Mr. Pickwick. 'You hear this, Samivel? said Mr. Weller, in the same judicial form of speech as before.

'My friends are not much in the way of this sort of thing yet, Martin, said Wardle, noticing the look. 'Live and learn, you know. They'll be good shots one of these days. I beg my friend Winkle's pardon, though; he has had some practice. Mr.
