FRIGHTS AND FASHIONS.

Men laughed, when wearing Pig-tails was the rule,

At one who wore no Pig-tail as a fool.

She that hair-powder, patches, paint, eschewed,

Was funny to the female multitude.

When womankind their waists made long or short,

Whose waist was Nature's waist, she moved their sport.

In days of Crinoline's extent immense,

Attired in skirts of just circumference,

Amid the modish throng if one appeared,

The others at her for a " dowdy " sneered.

Now Chignons are in vogue, they deem her odd

Who fails to pile the fashionable wad

Aloft, like towers of CybSle, and groan

Beneath a load of hair that's not her own.

The crowd, their ears with pendants who adorn,

A lady without earrings hold in scorn ;

Who fish-bones through their nostrils thrust, so those

The fair who wears no fish-bone in her nose.

" Because he had Too much Cheek."

The Spaniards are getting up another agitation to regain Gib-
raltar. At a time when she cannot even lock out her brigands from
her railway-stations, but allows those scoundrels to tear up the rails
and murder the passengers, Spain asks to be trusted with the keys
of the Mediterranean ! If a Spaniard could read Bleak House, we
should refer him to Mr. Bucket's answer to his own question " why
they killed the pig."

Another " Balance of Comfort."—At your Banker's.

" There are some people with plenty money but no brains, and
other people with plenty brains but no money."—The Ex- Claimant.

Manchester is most classical. In her hours of relaxation slut
seeks Pomona, hut in the pursuit of business she is ever faithful to
Vertumnus as the God of 'Change.
