PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.
21
VERY MUCH CARED FOR.
Chorus of Ladies {to comely Curate). “ 0, Mr. Sweetlow, do take Care ! Don’t go up !—
so Dangerous ! Do come down ! 0 ! ”
Hector (sarcastically). “Really, Sweetlow, don't you Think you’d better let a
Married Man do that ?!!”
£< Facit Indignatio Versus.”—Juvenal.
“ The Times' Correspondent from India states that the Orientals desire that Her Majesty should bear
the undermentioned titles, which are her right.”
Punch loves his Queen, the Queen of Ind,
But stoutly swears that he
Won’t call her Shahan-Shah-i-hind,
Or Zil-i-Sabhani.
Her name ’s Victoria and Regina,
So shut up, India, likewise China.
\Brinks frequently to H. M.’s health.
A CASE OF CONSCIENCE.
The Times, the other day, announced a
very decided case of—
“ Conscience Money.—The Chancellor
of the Exchequer announces the receipt of
a ten-pound note from ‘ B.,’ for Income-tax.”
“ B.” stands for Boohy. That, in all
probability, is all that needs he said about
that initial, in the above place. And yet
may not “B.” possibly mean “Brick-
layer,” or some other description of Work-
ing-man, in the receipt of wages amounting
in the year to a sum far above the annual
income of many an official Clerk, many a
Clergyman, Solicitor, or Medical Man ?
It is certainly just conceivable that such
a member of the working classes may
feel ashamed of going untaxed by an im-
post which subjects other, and poorer, if
cleanlier and more respectable - looking
members of those classes, to peculiar
taxation. The sense of being thus un-
justly favoured may, perhaps, embitter the
tea which such an one drinks the cheaper
for the direct taxation of those others.
“B.” can hardly signify “Bibax” in the
sense of a tippler; because, Working-men
who consume intoxicating fluids do, at least,
in a measure, tax themselves, and con-
tribute something, if not their share, to
the national expenses.
TABLEAUX VIVANTS.
Mrs. Dorington Chilworth presenting
her husband with a few more little Christ-
mas bills.
Masters Horace and Alfred, and, Miss
Mabel Sweetington, the morning after a
large Juvenile party—arrival of the Doctor.
Miss Eva Bellisle in the study with
Papa and Mamma—she has just announced
her determination not to accept the pro-
posals of Mr. Matthew Wossiter, the
wealthy hanker and brewer, and intimated
her partiality for Mr. Montagu Gordon
Teyiot, a third Secretary in Her Majesty’s
Diplomatic Service.
Unexpected return home at 10 p.m., of
Mr. and Mrs. Starveleigh — a large
servants’ party in the kitchen.
The reading of the will of Mr. Josiah
Grimrod in the presence of his assembled
relatives—bulk of the property left to the
Commissioners for the Reduction of the
National Debt.
Mr. Chippingill, a young and inexperi-
enced performer, playing a rubber with
three old hands—he has just made a revoke.
Miss Charmion receiving the congratu-
lations of Mrs. Lockerby and the girls on
her engagement to Sir Hastings St.
Leonards—Sir Hastings, who has twelve
thousand a year, was conspicuously atten-
tive to Sophy Lockerby last summer at
Gayborough.
The Tichborne Jury—the moment of re-
lease.
A Problem Solved.
About the Queen the Bart. C. Dilke
Vents talk as acid as sour milk.
Punch wants to know if this be true
Which, v .id to him, he tells to you.
How a great Lady deigned to wonder
At Charley’s anti-Windsor thunder.
‘ ‘ His father was so kind and mild—
I knew this gentleman a child:
I ’ve stroked his hair. I sometimes say,
I must have stroked it the wrong way."
