KLOTZ-ROUSSEL.

A New Ballad to the popular Trench air—“ Cadet Roussel,”

Cadet Roussel is a famous man.

At Ma bills, Chaumiere and Pre Catalan,

But Paris and London now see the bell
Borne away from Cadet, by AVoG-Roussel—
KIotz-Roussel, Klotz-Roussel,

Is John Bull so green—Here Klotz-Roussel ?

The Liverpool Merchants, as notable fools,

In Punch’s sheets, sat on penance-stools;

But their foolscaps, sheets, and stools as well
May now be transferred to Klotz-Roussel—
Klotz-Roussel, Klotz-Roussel,

Bare your back for the rod, Herr Klotz-Roussel !

We all of us know what chef d'ceuvres they are.

Those neat billet-doux of the honied Mocquabd,
When there’s fool to gammon, or knave to propel;
Which head do you come under, Klotz-Roussel ?—-
Klotz-Roussel, Klotz-Roussel,

Take your choice of the two, Herr Klotz-Roussel.

Our Volunteersyou kindly invite.

In Paris to make themselves a sight,

In hopes that credit and cash may tell,

On the pride and the purse of a Klotz-Roussel—
Klotz-Roussel, Klotz-Roussel,

What a bright conception of Klotz-Roussel !

When the British Lion is armed to the teeth.

He’s asked to put tushes and claws in their sheath,
And with bated breath and bare belts, pell-mell
To follow to Paris a Klotz-Roussel—

Klotz Roussel, Klotz-Roussel,

What a Leader of Lions is Klotz-Roussel !

There’s a being in England known as “a snob,’
And a thing in England known as “ a job : ”
The. .

Leave Ireland to send Volunteers to Rome*.

Our Volunteers we’ll keep at home.

Nor be lured to Paris by e’en the spell
Of a Mocquard backing a Klotz-Roussel—
Klotz-Roussel, Klotz-Roussel,

Go home to the Tuileries, Klotz-Roussel,

And say, with John Bull’s best compliments theie,
He’s not to be stroked the right way of the hair.
E’en British Asses will scarce don the fell
Of British Lions for Klotz-Roussel—-
Klotz-Roussel, Klotz-Roussel,

You had best shut up shop, Herr Klotz-Roussel.

“WITH VERDURE CLAD.”

Among other curiosities, we see advertised a sort of “Vegetable
Leather Gaiters,” of which a hundred thousand pairs are expected to
be sold in London ere next spring. This announcement has, we own,
sadly puzzled and perplexed us, and eleven of our hairs have prematurely
been turned grey by it. By what process any vegetable can be made
into a gaiter, is a problem our best powers are unable to resolve. _ But
supposing it accomplished, there would clearly be advantages which in
certain circumstances might perhaps result from it. Eor instance, we
have heard of shipwrecked sailors having to subsist upon their boots ;
and if they had been supplied with Vegetable Gaiters, they doubtless
would have relished the addition to their fare. A still more painful
story has moreover reached us, of how a newly-married couple went to
Paris for their honeymoon, and, arriving there at 3 a m., could get
nothing served for supper, and so, to save themselves from starving,
had to devour their slice of cake. Now if the husband had but worn a
pair of Vegetable Gaiters, they need not have committed this almost
cannibal act.

We are not informed if Vegetarians use these Gaiters, nor whether
any Vegetable in particular be chosen for their manufacture. This
latter is in some degree a point somewhat important. For instance, it
we purchased our Gaiters of a tailor, it would never do to ask him if
they were made of Cabbage!

The Bourbon and the Black Prince.

We have the best authority for stating, that Francis II., the Ex-
King or Naples, has declined, with * (tanks, the asylum which has
been offered him by the Queen a Spain and the Emperor or
Austria. The dethroned monarch wnl reside at the Court of a Royal
brother, where he will feel much more at home than he probably would
even in the Imperial Palace at Vienna. His Majesty has decided on
accepting the hospitality of the King of Dahomey.

A TUN FOR POOR CREATURES.

The partisans of the Pote and the other tyrants of Italy, call
Garibaldi a Filibuster. As that hero is fighting for the freedom of
the Italian boot, might they not as well content themselves with calling
him a Freebooter?
