Harper's New Monthly Magazine Volume 34 December 1886 to May 1887 . , and loses a lover. * To the Editor of the London Magazine: Sir,—I send you a small production of tlie late Dr. Goldsmith which has never been published, andwhich might, perhaps, have been totally lost had I not secured it. He intended it as a song in thecharacter of Miss Hardcastle in his admirable comedy of SJie Sloops to Conquer ; but it was left out, asMrs. J^ulkley, who played the part, did not sing. He sang it himself in private companies, vciy tune is a pretty Irish air called The Humors of Ballamagairy, to wdiich, he told me, he found it verydifficult to adapt words; but he has succeeded very happily in these few lines. As I could sing the tune,and was fond of them, he was so good as to give me them, about a year ago, just as I was leavingLondon, and bidding him adieu for that season, little apprehending that it was a last farewell. I pre-serve this little relic, in his own handwriting, with an affectionate care. I am, sir, vour humble servant, Jamks All ME! WHEN SHALL I MARRY ME?
