260 PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. [December 19, 1868.
REMINISCENCES OF THE FARM-YARD.
“ My dear Children, what are you doing with those Ninepins?”
“ Milking the Cow, Mamma ! ”
SEE THE CARTOON OPPOSITE.
Well, tell us why should he not dance in the hall,
A right welcome guest at his Mistress’s Ball ?
Because he 5s a Quaker ? Such bosh makes us ill.
William Penn would not turn from a gracious Quadrille.
Does n«fr Steady himself bid the lady be gay,
Join the Lads of the Village, and caper away ;
And does not the song tell us how to the fife
So merrily danced both the Quaker and wife?
Those who think him a Scowler, with brow black as night.
Don’t know our new Minister, jolly John Bkigiit,
Whom Punch was delighted to see Kissing Hands,
And loyally taking his Monarch’s commands.
He’s as ready as Punch with a laugh and a joke,
A slayer of salmon, a smoker of smoke.
And wre don’t know a man, be he lion or lord,
We’d be gladder to see at The Circular Board.
We’ve fought him right often, and fought him right hard,
But never denied him the name of trump card ;
We may fight him again, and the fight may be tough,
But to say we don’t love him were nonsense and stuff.
We rejoice he embarks for a spell with the Crew,
Fox the good will be done him, the good he will do.
And like John of the Funnels, though fond of his ease.
He ’ll work like Gumdragon in battle or breeze.
And when the Panurges are howling and beat,
He’ll be heading the boarders, or hauling the sheet.
But when he’s ashore, and in elegant dress,
Why shouldn’t he dance with our lovely Princess,
Ana tread the proud halls of his Mistress’s Sires,
As welcome at Windsor as now at Whitefriars ?
_
Punch’s Perfume.—“Essence of Parliament.”
UP AND DOWN TRAINS.
“ Those who had assembled to speed the parting Ministry remained to
welcome their successors, and scarcely had the one train fairly left the station
before the other arrived.”—Times Report, “ Ministers at, Windsor,” Wed-
nesday, December 9th.
Two trains that bore two Cabinets
Alet close to Windsor town ;
One was the in-train tip.
And one the out-train down.
This train urns two-eiglit-six,
That two-seven-two horse-power;
And the fares in this looked sweet,
And the fares in that looked sour.
Steam shrieked, and brakes were busy,
But they kept time with precision ;
And, thanks to down-guard Dizzy,
There wasn’t a collision.
Shortly will be Published.
Lectures from the Library. A Companion Series to Sermons from the
Studio.
Cupid's Box of Lucifers. An interesting Sequel to Love's Matchless
Might.
Ea f a Dozing. A Tale for the Fireside, by the Author of The Dream
Numbers.
Just 0ns. Mouthful More. A Gift-Book, by the Author of Fitting up the
Chinks.
To the Musical WtouLD.—“A Bewildered Musician,” who has
been constrained lo hear a great deal about the Cattle Show, would be
glad to be informed what sort of an instrument the “ Scotch-Horn ” is.
