A Speech in the Lords is worth two in the Commons.

(For Lord Northbrook.)—" Marinum est errare."

(For Use in the Soudan.)—Nothing fails like failure.

One Spouter can send, an Elector to the polling-booth, but twenty
can't make him think.

Too many Cooks spoil the Excursion Season.

(A propos of most Temperance Drinks.)—One Swallow spoils a
whole Summer.

One man's meat is another man's horse-flesh.

Nobody knows what the Czar's up to except the Editor of the
-Pallski Mallski Gazettikoff.

(For Cricketers.)—It's a long score that gives no chances.

A still match makes a wise Burglar.

What's Wajited.—New Ship3, not new Peers.

Highlands he would see " some fine Moors and several Bonny Lassies."
