PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.
[Mat 18, 1889.
NOT MUCH, BUT BETTER THAN NOTHING AT ALL.”
Britannia (to Vulcan). “ Hebe’s an extka Four Millions to go on with ; so get to wokk at once, and mind you let me
HAVE THE VERY BEST IRONCLADS YOU CAN TURN OUT.”
Tip to Termagants.
A “ Sense of Humour ” is so much bepraised
By critics, that one might suppose it raised
To the high rank of a new Cardinal Virtue.
Well, ’ tis a gift that helps and cannot hurt you.
But if you’d cultivate this gift delightful,
You must abandon hate, and cut the spiteful;
For whatsoever angry fools may rumour,
You can’t be humorous when you’re out of humour!
Hot Sweet on It!—After reading Sir Thomas's “slashers” on
the Sugar Convention, some of the Ministerialists, it is understood,
are inclined to drop that political hot potato, or at any rate, “ let it
slide.” They fear that they may go Farrer and fare worse.
“What the Dickens!”—Yes, Charles Dickens reading selec-
tions from the Dickens’s works at St. James’s Hall. “Likefather,
like son.” Of course you do the first, but to do the second you must
go and hear him.
