NEVER DESPAIR.

Nimrod. " They won't Find a Fox here, Master, will they ?"

Old Man. " Well, I canna* Tell, Sir. Them Places which seems less Likely is werry oftens more Likelier nor them
Places which Looks most Likeliest ! "

He may farther ranee,

THE LITTLE BEAR. And may reach the Exchange,

Not Exeter 'Change—'cos t'ain't there.
[Ine other morning it was reported that a small Brown Bear, belonging to . ~But perhaps in some spec

the Landlord of the Welsh Harp, Hendon, had escaped, and was wander- '
iiig about the country.]

0 where, and 0 where is my little Bear gone,
0 whereabouts can he be ?

Should anyone meet him,

If Bruin don't eat him,
He '11 bring him back kindly to me.

I hears as them messers,

The London hair-c/ressers,
Are all about everywhere ;

With cakes, bread, and buns,

With pistols and guns,
To catch and to kill my poor bear.
Oh, where, &c.

He 's invested a cheque,
Or else of Consols he's a bear.
0, where, &c.

0, if he is pilled,

With a bullet and killed,
I hope as they '11 send me his skin.

There are two bears I've heard,

In the sky, so a third
They '11 admit,—just " a little one in.
0, where, &c.

He was an attraction !
And what satisfaction
He '11 give, when once more in my care.
What grief still to see—
While he's roaming and free—
No bear in the cage ! the cage bare !

They hopes to increase,
Their stock o' bears' grease,

A harticle now werry rare ; °> wneTre> ™r.e 1S ™? httie ^ear "one ?

So if they've once got him, . ! Just look at this notice.-N.B.

And shot him, they 'U pot him, Should any one meet him,

To shine up their customers' hair. „ ^V™?011* e?\^

0 where &c bring nim back kindly to me.

To ax p'raps how wos

The poor Rhinoceros,
When pretty nigh drownded was he,

To call this poor friend on,

If Tie went through Hendon,
Why, there's a hend on him for me.
0, where, &c.

A Quotation from Long-fellow.

Topham Bankes was at a ball on the 6th, where the ladies' dresses
were excessively and inconveniently long. His remark at supper
was, that he understood now what the American poet meant by
" the trailing garments of the night."
