Chorus.

The things will much please which you 're
going to hear
(They 're English, you know ; quite Eng-
lish, you know).
Legality banished must soon reappear
(That's English, quite English you
know).

What one Congress does can't another
undo ?

(That 'sEnglish, you know; quite English,
you know.)
The Eternal Republic has gone all askew
(Not English, you know; not English
you know).
'Twill presently get quite incurably queer,
And then will the Monarchy promptly
appear.

I fancy myself that the moment is near.
(That's English, youlknow ; quite Eng-
lish, you know.)

Chorus.

Mark the things which you Bee and the
things which you hear
(That's English, you know; quite Eng-
lish you know).
There's nothing that's solid or stable, I fear
(That's English, quite English, you
know).

Direct, universal, free suffrage, my friends,
(That's English, you know; quite Eng-
lish, you know,)

"Will vote—well for Me, and all trouble
then ends

(That's English, you know; quite Eng-
lish,' you know).
The King, with the Chamber's concurrence,
will rule.

The Deputies then can no" more play the
fool,—i

Clemenceau, Boulanger, and men of that
school

(That's English, you know ; quite Eng-
lish, you know).

Chorus.

Heed the things which you see and the
thin?s you now hear
(That's English, you know; quite English,
you know).
Economy, Order, and Justice sans fear!
(They're English; quite English, you
know!)

The Soldier and Citizen then will agree,
(That's English, you know; quite En-
glish, you know,)

The Press and the Priesthood alike will he
free

(That's English, you know; quite En-
glish, you know),
I hen will France to her ancientpre-eminence
rise >

The German will watch her with reverent
eyes;

All the Powers rush forward to be her allies
(That's French, you know; very French,
you know).

Chorus.

These things you shall see which you now
only hear

(That's certain you know; quite certain,

you know):
•u only you '11 let my new System appear.
(That's English; quite English, you

know!)

Constitutional principles, these, my good
friend 1

(They're English, you know; quite En-
glish, you know)—
Ahey Conservative needs and Equality blend,
(That|s English, you know; quite En-
glish, you know).

THE STATE OF THE GAME.

Lady Customer. "How much are Gkouse to-day, Me. Jiblets?

Poulterer. "Twelve Shillings a Beace, Ma'am. Shall I send them-"

Lady Customer. " No, you need not send them. My Husband's out Grouse-shooting,

and he 'll call for them as he comes home ! ! "

Do at my new lloyal rig-out take a glance I
In this to the front I shall proudly advance,
As the true King of all, and first Servant of
Fr&ncG

(But English, you know; quite English,
you know).

Chorus.

The things which I say it is time you should
hear , ., _

(They're English, you know; quite Jing-
lish, you know).

The principles these to make France without
peer

(Though they're English; quite English,
you know)!

Aphorism.

{By a Snubbed Poet.)
"A Thing of Beauty is a joy for ever • "
Except a pretty girl, who thinks she's clever.

Nomenclature - Somebody calls the
Thunderer's" daily fulmination against

Mr. Gladstone an ignis fatuus, or foolish
°y.?lTt,y Journalism. Would not " Whip

poor Will" be a more suitable title ?

Lovers' Leap "—Marriage.
