PUNCH’S ALMANACK FOR 1864

!

ANSWERS TO CONUNDRUMS.
(The Questions will be given in our
next—if they are wanted.)

1. Because it is an act of negro-
man-see.

2. Because they are a pair-o’-
little-bipeds (parallelopipeds.)

3. He would say simply “Ink-
y ou-bus.”

4. Because the one may be
a mealy one, but the other is
Amelia.

5. When he went to tell-em-a-
cuss (Telemaclius.)

6. Because the one is a bat and
the other is a bat-too.

7. The difference is merely that
the one is an-ut, while the ocher
is an-ovel.

USEFUL FAMILY RECIPE.

To make Bread ar J, Butter go a
long way.—Take o slice of bread
and butter, playd it in an enve-
lope and post it to your cousin
who is living in New Zealand.
If you do this in London and it
reaches him in safety, your bread
and butter clearly will have gone
a long way.

Note for the Month.—Dec. 28.
Innocents. Winter Baby Show at
the Crystal Palace. There are
present 100 children whose united
ages amount to 100 years.

From Smithfield.—At the last
Cattle Show a stout farmer whose
old-fashioned continuations did
not reach to his ancles, was taken
up for exhibiting his calves in
the street.

Umph !—Of two hunchbacks of
unequal height, which would you
select as an arbitrator? The one
you’d call the hump-higher.

A WATERING-PLACE PLEASURE.

This is the Eighteenth Old Fish Fag wj-to has Screamed and Shrieked, but by no means the last
who will Shriek and Scream, under poor old Mr. Tomkins’s window.

Lastly The Fishes, as of course you’d think,
Invite the Driver of the Sun to drink ;

And having circled this terrestrial ball
His Brightness orders Punch to wind up all.

A STANZA FOR WINTER.
Now Christmas comes: of all the year
The time, my son, to man most dear ;
For then, ’mid other costly ills,

He has to pay his Christmas bills.
