MR. PUNCH'S HISTORICAL PARALLELS. No. 2.

THE LORDLY CECIL ENTERTAINS HIS SOVEREIGN. HATFIELD, 1573 and 1887.

with this/eu de mot, which I fancy I've heard before, that he is oft
to tell his friends in the Pare, and, as I pass a group, I overhear him
explaining the point of it to a French lady and her husband, with
whom he has a speaking acquaintance. For Pdxlee likes what he
oalls " airing his French," and is not a bit shy.

The Band is performing another new tune! How is this? I
oan account for it. It rained nearly all yesterday, and so the
musicians didn't come out. How did they occupy themselves'( In
rehearsal. "Well here's one good effect of rain at lioyat, it brings
out the new tunes.___

A Pretty Plate to Set Before the Queen.

" The Queen's Plates are henceforth to be devoted to improving the breed
of horses."

A most wise change that sense for long has wished,
But, Phcebus! how the " Platers " will be dished!

AN INVITATION.

(To a well-known Air.)

" Mr. Frederick Maude, Honorary Secretary of the 1 Liberal Union ' has
resigned that post in consequence of his disapproval of the attitude taken up
by the leaders of the 'Liberal Unionist' party towards the leaders of the
Liberal party, and of his inability to support the programme of a Torv
Government." '
Come back to Hawarden, Maude

For the Tory black flag's flown!
Come back to Hawarden, Maude
Leave Haety and Joe alone • '
For the Government plainly is all abroad,
And the Unionist game is blown.
