SONG OF MARS.

I’m the reddest of the stars,

And my Latin name is Mars,

Whose alias is Ares, if you speak to him in Greek:

So a martialist in red,

May be often seen, it’s said,

Descending of the Areas like a milingtary sneak.

Spoiled Stamps.—Let Mamma give in to her darling in
nineteen cases; then call in Papa to say “no” in the
twentieth, and in all probability you will find no end of
spoiled stamps on the nursery floor.

ADVICE FOR ALL FOOLS.

Hark how all the donkeys bray 1
It is All Fools’ festive day.

Now, my boys, contract your debts,
Now then, lay your heavy bets.

Now for friends accept bills, please;
Now become your friends’ trustees;
Now, poor fellow, start your carriage,
Now make promises of marriage,

Or, with barely means of life,

Go at once and take a wife.
