What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements and literary content** rather than political cartoons. The visible material includes: - **"L'Ingenu"**: A poem about nature and romantic encounter, likely a reprinted literary work - **Advertisements**: For steamship lines (North German Lloyd), jewelry stores, silk merchants, furniture retailers, and other commercial businesses typical of the era - **A small illustration**: Shows an ornate chair, accompanying the furniture advertisement The page lacks the satirical cartoons Puck was known for. Instead, it reflects how 19th-century magazines mixed editorial content with paid advertising to sustain operations. The advertisements themselves reveal period consumer interests—jewelry, fine fabrics, transatlantic travel—targeting middle and upper-class readers. No specific political satire or identifiable caricatures are visible on this particular page.

L'INGENU, ' I had never thought of her; we walked With June underfoot and overhead, I had never thought of her; we talked; And I never noticed what we said. I fell on flowers with my lout’s long feet, I shocked the solemn old oaks with laughter; I droned of weather, the way, the wheat; Her glance said shyly: And what comes after? Kind counsels dropped from a clement sky; ‘The way was made, as it were, for two; I could only hear the crickets cry; She heard, higher up, the white doves coo. I—eighteen, crude, and ashamed to please; She—eighteen, ripe, with a looking-glass! The birds sang love to her in the trees, And the crickets hissed me in the grass! She rifled berries in many a bush, ‘The white arm flashed in many a turn; A sunbeam broke on it like a blush, I watched a plover rise from the fern. A brook ran rollicking on our way; We stopped a moment, and as we stood ‘The sweet, warm, amorous air of May Hymned Hymen, Hymen throughout the wood, Her voice had tender and timid tones, And a frightened laugh, and a laughing scream} Her fine feet flew on the stepping-stones; I watched the trout turn against the stream, I found not a thing to say—and talked; I heard her sigh and I saw her smile; She was beside me, and as we walked I wished it'was over all the while! We had left the woods ere I saw the red, Meek mouth, and the face's sea-shell tints; “Let's think no more of it, then,” she said— And I have thought of it ever since. x —London Fun. A pentist in Bristol, Vt., recently received, by mail an order for a set of teeth which read as follows: ‘My mouth is three inches across, five-eighth inches through the jaw. Sum hum- mocky on the edge. Shaped like a horseshoe, toe forrard. If you want me to be more par- tiklar I shall have to come thar.”—A/bany Argus. Ir Courtney and Hanlan do not quiet down, why wouldn’t it be a good thing to take them out about six miles from shore and throw them into the water? ‘They would naturally put in their “biggest licks” for dry land, and the public would at last have a race from them, and then after they got ashore they would be too tired to talk for a month, and that would be something to be grateful for.— Hawkeye. Mrs, Grorce Martin, living near Hunts- ville, Ala., had been speechless for more than ayear. A few days ago she knocked a loaded revolver off a table and the bullet struck her in the leg. The woman at once began to talk and has continued to do so ever since. Of course Mr. Martin deeply regrets his careless- ness in leaving a loaded revolver lying about the house; and husbands who have speechless wives—and who read this—will place such wea- pons ten miles out of their reach. No husband ae his wife shot in the leg.—orristown He- rald.
