WHAT HAPPENED ON THE 21st.

That terribly long- bill of Taxall and Trapueigh's was delivered
to Croomby—defendant in the suit of Kidderforth v. Croomby.

Aunt Eliza came to spend her long-promised long day with
Edward and his Wife. Aunt Eliza is very deaf and very inquisi-
tive ; and Mrs. Edward Bannatyne found the day rather long.
Edward was unusually late in returning from business that
•evening, only arriving in time to see his Aunt, who was afraid of
staying too long because of the dew, to the omnibus.

Major Boregrave dined out, and repeated his celebrated South
American story. The Major was more long-winded than ever.

Mrs. Carington Cowdray chaperoned her nieces to Lady Fisker-
ton's ball, and found the night very long, especially as Edith
would dance so much with Arthur Yungerson.

Mr. Drawtlings imposed one of his long speeches on the House of
Commons.

Jack Doddington made a long arm at Mrs. Westborough
Beaumont's pic-nic, to reach Eleanor Darlington the salad
dressing.

Gushbrooke's long engagement to Emily Cherringworth was
brought to its natural termination by the Venerable the Arch-
deacon of Camberwell, assisted by the bride's grandfather and
uncle, and the bridegroom's brother-in-law.

In the long-talked-of match between Helsingham and Anderby,
Broxbourne's batting was more splendid than ever. Blewker,
the long stop, found Friday about the longest day he ever passed.
Long odds were laid against Taradiddle for the Northumbrian Cup.
Bessie Callenby wrote one of those long, very loDg, but not at
all too long (for the favoured recipient) letters out to India.

Henry, who is staying at the Rectory, was taken by Lucy in the

tankards, and long credit; drew long breaths and long cases ; paid
off long scores, and owed long grudges; were long-sighted and long-
headed ; made long excuses, composed long sermons, took long
naps, read long articles, received back long-lost relatives, and were
a long time coming and going.

BALLOT BILL AND HIS BAITERS.

Boohoo ! See what they've been and done,
Them there, them Lords, a maulin' one.
They've tore my coat, and slit it, crack!
Bight slap in two all down the back.

Out of my trousers where I sit,
They've also snatched a woppm' bit;
They've knocked my 'at in too, and they
Has cotched my cumfurter away.

Oh ! Ah! Yes ! Why ? 'Cause they suppose
1 'm flummoxed now they've spiled my clothes,
But I shall go and tell my friends,
On witch for substance I depends.

They '11 do my things up good as new,
And send me back, my Lords, to you ;
And we shall see if you '11 have then,
The cheek to serve me so again.
