Ustiex —" The lady behind objects to your keeping your hat on, sir. ALL ON A CHRISTMAS NIGHT. LEN winter brings his chill and snow and every tree is bare, When all the wheels are running down and maids seem less than fair, A dream before a friendly hearth of early friends and young Smooths down the pulse the dreary stretch of day leaves overstrung. You, Agnes, were a pleasant romp when all the world was bright, When words were said ere fully weighed or fancied fairer flight. And boyish admiration found in Copperfield an end Of former idols, which the wits of home-kept lads attend, Uriah, too, though ne'er a friend, comes bowing from the past, And Nickleby and darling Kate, whose gentle heart beats fast. And there trips little Em'ly ; still I tremble in her eyes, For there my boyhood fancy woke and roused a youngster's sighs. Ah! Em'ly dear, that heart now throbs sedately grave and slow ; Some scores of solitary pipes have dimmed the finer glow ; But as an antique jar preserves its beauty though forlorn, So my heart glories in the love it felt ere old and worn. ‘The present age of cigarettes and clubs to show one’s birth Will make my vow a ready peg whereon to hang its mirth ; For love, it swears, is out of date, while senti- ment is dead— How many men cried a reward for Cupid when he fled ? Fond friend of youth! I view you now across the printed page. Yet, yet the charms of beardless years the pulse’s flood enrage ; I span an empty space of time, I live again a boy, I stride the mountain heights of hope, I every sense enjoy ! Dear dream of mine, you post hot haste ere grows the welcome cold ; I long to have the waking mind your finer touch withhold. ‘The times are bright, and many a bell rings out the worn and gray, And old blood has its run of luck and every dog his day. SALISOURY GREEN. AT THE LECTURE, HUM OF THE COURT. R. MANTELL becomes more famous because of a divorce- suit; but of course he cannot be guilty because, mark you! he is an actor, TWO THINGS are necessary to a man’s good name after he is dead. The man must not leave a will or a policy in a life-insurance company. DAN VOORHEES is trying to win the alliance element by smoking the worst cigars he can get and wearing tobacco-juice on his shirt-front. F ONE COULD be as wise al- ways as when he gets his first whisker there would be so much complacency that common sense would die of loneliness. THE MAN who is engaged now gives his fiancée a diamond hoop bracelet every month until the marriage. The dear old memories! How well we recall the time when we gave away every three weeks the Kohinoor at present owned by Queen Victoria. | | THE Queens] Daventers ee A DUDISH VERSION.
