40 PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. [July 23, 1864.
Miss Lou1 (His Youngest Pupil, and fond of chaff). “Oh, Mb. Triflitz, I Vote we try something else. I shall never be able
to Shake like that till the Winter Time ! ”
HINT FOR CLEANING WINDOWS.
{From our Colwell-Hatchney Housekeeper’s Companion.)
Window Cleaning.—Be careful not to stand outside the windows, but
sit down upon them, pulling up the lower sash, and pulling down the
upper one at the same time. Take out each pane separately, and clean
it. This should be done quickly. If the windows are of plate glass,
then- appearance is much improved by throwing stones and dust over
them. Clean the corners of each pane with a sharp-pointed stick, which
you can easily push through, so as to remove the dust from the
interior and exterior simultaneously.
The Housekeeper’s Companion also contains the following excellent
Rules for establishing Libraries in villages and village towns :—
1. That every subscriber be allowed to take out all the books at a
time.
2. That he may not keep them away for more than a month, except
after special application to the Librarian, which shall be invariably
refused; but which refusal, to avoid all offence, shall not have any
effect on the subscriber.
3. That all persons paying nothing a-year, half in advance, shall
become life-members, and be admitted to all the privileges of a full
member.
4. That a member shall be only a full member after dinner.
5. That for the purpose of diffusing useful knowledge in the village,
all the books shall be in Hebrew, Sanscrit, Syro-Chaldaic, and ancient
Hindu characters.
6. That the library shall be open ouce a-year, from ten till four, during
which time the Free list will be entirely suspended.
7. No restriction as to evening dress, which will be worn by all sub-
scribers throughout the current year.
Yet Another eor Banting.—“ Farewell, a long farewell to all my
greatness.”
THE WICKED LITTLE ONES.
The Evangelical Alliance, as it modestly calls itself, has been holding
a fonr days’ conference at Edinburgh. The discourses were not re-
markable for anything but length. But the Alliance felt itself bound to
do something to promote Sabbath Observance, and we are privileged in i
being allowed to state that a devout man, the Rev. Dr. Jenkins, was
inspired with a revelation, which if it be properly heeded, will prevent
all Sabbath desecration for the end of time:—
“ The Rev. Dr. Jenkins said, that he, greatly feared that parents were not suffi-
ciently careful to put the children's toys outrof sight on Saturday night."
Now we have it. The children do it all. Wicked little wretches!
If they had their way, we believe that instead of going three times to
chapel, and learning catechism between “ worship,” the profane little
heretics would sit out in a field, and string flowers and sing, and even
play cup-and-ball. It is awful to think of such juvenile depravity, and
we heartily thank the stern Jenkins for pointing out the crimes of the
lisping generation. Now we shall know how to prevent Sabbath dese-
cration. Little did we imagine that the real authors of so much evil
were crawling about our knees. But for the future let them look out for
birch and Calvinism.
Notice to Correspondents.
It is not true, as has been absurdly stated, that the National Dis-
count Company discounts Parliamentary Bills.
We cannot undertake during the hot weather to supply our readers
regularly with iced Punch.
The Opposition whip does not give any of his party the whipping
that some of them deserve.

Pictures of Eruit and Vegetable subjects are quite in keeping with
dining-room ornamentation. Hang up your cucumbers in their frames.
