October 11, 1856.] PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. Hi
A BALLAD BY A BISHOP.
With Brass Accompaniment.
Ye clergymen of England,
Wha livings hold at ease,
Ho w little do you think upon
The troubles of the Sees!
Give ear unto my plaintive lay,
And I '11 engage to show
That a bishop's poor and needy—whom for being rich
and greedy,
Up the stormy Times doth blow—oh! oh! oh! oh !
Chorus expressive of Woe.
*Tis a law of human nature,
As you all of you must grant,
That of worldly things, the moic man has
The more he's sure to want,
Then wonder not that we, on whom
Such fatness men bestow,
Are in heart sick and sore, and in w*nt far, far more
Than you who sit below—oh! oh! oh ! oh !
That bishops who have been brought up
Regardless of expense,
In luxury must dine and sup,
Seen s merely common sense:
And neither few nor far between
Can be their wants, you know,
When in heahh and at ease their appetites incease
For th- good things here below—0 ! O! O! O !
Toen thirik ye not a bishop's less
To be envied than be pitied,
Rtmem.b'ring that lo meet distress
, So little he is fitted,
f Nor wonder he for pension wants
[ Six thousand pounds or so—
J Or I fear in a year, tho' he's lived like a Peer,
On the Parish he would go—o— o—o— Oh !
! (Re/rain) On the Parish he would go!
PLEASING DELUSION. IN RE TdE ROUND HATS.
Female. "Well! There can be no question aeout one thing!—They If wealth does not make a man witty, at all events it
certainly DO make YOU look younger ! " \ \A\uds OtfaelS to llH Shipidity.
FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER.
[From Mr. Punch's cv;n Paris Milliner.,]
The yellowing of the leaf is marked by a tendency to colour. As,
however, a 3harp contest of colour has ever distinguished barbarian
cations, and as the Emperor of Russia has been recently crowned,
1here can be no doubt that the ceremony has brought into the beau
monde a spirited, not to say a violent, display of red, blue, crimson,
green, and yellow. Indeed, the prevailing tints would do credit to the
coronation of Halequin; if we are ever to enjoy that loog-protracted
ceremonial.
The Parisian silks are of a delightfully bold design, and of charmingly
lurid tints. The soie de toreador, manufactured under the patronage of
the Empress Eugenie, is of a delightful pattern; giving in one skirt,
with most inimitable foreshortening, the whole ceremony of a bull-fight.
The ferocity of the bull is really beautiful; and may almost be said to
bellow. Some idea may also be entertained of the condescension of
the divine Eugenie from the fact that the portrait of Dominguez, the
wounded bull-fighter in the service of Her Majesty, has been introduced
in'o the piece. There can be no doubt that skirts of the soie de
toreador-will cause a g<and furore during the present season; though
we have heard the chasse de sanglier, or boar-hunt, silk very highly
spoken of. As, however, boars have not yet been patronised by the Em-
press, there can be no doubt that the soie de toreador will bear the belle.
Other silks are exhibiting, barred and striped. They are called the
soies a la Cayenne, and are supposed to have been manufactured in
obedience to Imperial orders.
There is nothing new in ball-dresses ; the same patterns that were
danced in at Moscow being exhibited for the Parisian dame. It is said
that this measure has been imperially revolver! upon, in order to exhibit
to Ihe eyes of Europe the close alliance of Russia and Prance. The
eorsage en coeur is very much cut away, evidently to illustrate the
political fact that both countries have made a clean breast of it.
Wreaths a, la Holy Virgin of Russia threaten to turn all heads.
They are composed of Russian laurelFrench violets, and English
hops; the laurels, as was to have been expected, ljirjg very thick.
Bonue.s are all to be made with an elastic edge; and have inc-eased
in s;ze. We have se?u one tbat would entirely contain a cat's-head
apple. This looks like improvement. _
Mantles, with no seam, still to illas'rate the closeness of the F^enca
alliance, with a border in gold and green of the pattern, a I'lslede
Serpens, have a fine effect; and are made diplomatically large to cover
anything. , • i • , ,
The fashion of sleeves is taking a more decided kind, with a tendency
to the sweeping. This change is also susceptible of a political inter-
pretation. . ,
\ new petticoat, the crinoline en fer, has been much admired, and
will, no doubt, be all the rage early in the season. It is made of the
finest tempered steel, and works upon the principle of the iron shutters
so much in vogue in England. The petticoat is, of course, globular, and
may be manufactured ballroom-proof. There is also an improvement otj
the article called the jupon am tubes de vapeur, in which steam may bn
generated and let off according to the thermometer.
THE EXISTENCE OE GRATITUDE.
Gratitude lives more in the Future than in the Past. It is fre-
quently a three months' bill, which we draw upon some good-natured
friend, who, we think, ought to oblige us, simply because he has
obliged us before. If the bill is taken up, well and good, we draw
another, and then another ; but as soon as one is dishonoured, a reaction
takes place, Gratitude ceases, Invective begins, and, as a matter of
course Hatred ensues. Take any twenty men who are sworn enemies
of others, and you may be sure that out of the number, eighteen at
least were bosom friends, that have every reason to be grateful to the
person they have quarrelled with. Ingratitude commences the moment
a friend, to whom we are deeply indebted, will no longer allow us to
extend our debt of Gratitude.—The Hermit of the Haymarket.
Important to Spinsters.—The elastic leather belfs, now won
rouEd the waists of ladies, are henceforth to be called " Embracelets.
