PUNCH’S ALMANACK FOR I860.
“ Sweet-cheek ” was a pretty term of endearment a couple

ateness ; for not only are the checks of our young ladies
quite as sweet as those of their ancestors, but to do some of

Zoological.—Naturalists tell us that such a thing as a
mouse is not now to be found on the Catskill Mountains.
Theatrical.— Not the least important part of the ma-
chinery of the modern stage is the lever de rUleau.

Holman Hunt’s picture of The Pot of Basil were all over
