A health to Wilfrid, champion dear !

Who drinks his health in ginger-beer.

Who Zoedone imbibes alway.

To hold the land in leading-strings,
By boldly banning liquors strong,
For lemonade and such sweet things.

Would English wits with water whelm,
To Toastandwaterdom’s swift rise,
Till the Good Templar rules the realm.

They ’ll quench, in water, Freedom’s fire,
What odds though Freedom’s flag should sink,
Whilst high the Temperance banner waves ?
Shall Britons bondsmen be to Drink
Through fear of being Slopdom’s slaves ?

ENGLISH NIHILISTS.
The English Nihilist is a much more cautious creature than his
Russian prototype. The Russian works with dynamite and other
explosive material, and comes out boldly as a self-evident assassin,
hut the English Nihilist skulks behind a hrick wall or underneath a
drain-pipe, and uses nothing more criminally destructive than the
forces of Nature.
The Russian Nihilist may or may not be a mechanic, but the
English Nihilist is always a plumber or a builder. He lays his
poison-traps without prejudice or favoritism in the “ eligible man-
sion,” or the “ bijou residence,”—in the “ rustic retreat,” or the
“ rus in urhe dwelling-house.” He is not too proud to work destruc-
tion in a hovel, but he is seen at his hest when he is engaged in
constructing a palace. He followed the Prince of Wat.es to York-
shire, some ten years ago, and nearly killed him in the hospitable
hut unhealthy ‘ ‘ Lodge ” of a popuiar Peer ; and after this he tried
all he could to make old Marlborough House a fever-den.
His latest triumph has been at Bagshot Heath, in the mansion
lately occupied by the Duke and Duchess of Connaught. With
thirty or forty thousand pounds to spend in porticos and stucco, he
planned and constructed the drainage system with the most perverse
ingenuity. Wherever there was a hidden pipe, he nearly always
made it communicate with filth ; and not content with the ordinary
methods in use for poisoning a household, he put on a special pipe to
carry sewer-gas into the body of the dwelling. Having nearly killed
the Duchess of Connaught at a time when she innocently thought
she was breathing the pure air of the country, and certainly required
it, he shields himself in the well-worn armour of brutal trade
stupidity. While his Russian brother is hanged or goes to Siheria
for his crimes, the English Nihilist would prohably seek for damages
in a Court of Law for defamation of character!
