LITTLE TOMMY'S QUESTIONS. .
for january
Why does Papa look so angry when he opens his
letters P
Why does he say that Mamma must retrench ?
Why does he call the Milliner naughty names ?
Why did he want to kill the Tax-collector ?
Why does he abuse the Butcher ?
Why does he call the Grocer a cheat ?
Why does he scowl at Mamma's bonnet ?
Why won't he take me to see the Pantomime ?
HOW DID HE TAKE IT ?
"Beauty skin-deep ? An envious saw, shaped by some
, dry old stick! "
Ogling himself, quoth Pachyderm, a most conceited
elf.
" The Sage was right," his friend replied ; " but then
your skin's so thick,
That no one yet could ever see the beauty—save
yourself!
Candlemas will this year be celebrated by many
Ritualist clergymen by burning candles in broad day-
light. N.B.—" Advanced Ritualist," a retrograde
Parson—a clerical Crab who goes backward.
THE CAP-AND-BELL CALENDAR.
February.
February ! Fools again,
Rampant, constant (like the rain).
Rink,—look guys, court thumps and lumps !
Football,—ditto, bruises, bumps !
Sport? Aha! Send purchased flummery,
Crassest form of Cupid's mummery!
Prig gets venomed Valentine,
Phiz delicious to divine!
Postman swears, of Love he's sceptic.
Muffs eat pancakes, get dyspeptic.
Sport to view each fresh vagary,
Lots of fun in February!
ASTRONOMICAL AND SCIENTIFIC REMARKS.
(For Students and Examiners.)
Q. Define the Earth.
A. A round,- impudent, unprincipled, body.
Q. Why impudent ?
A. Because it is a cool body travelling round the
sun,—which is about the coolest thing we ever heard
,of.
Q. Why unprincipled ?
A. Because it borrows what it cannot repay, and
jmakes light of it.
A VOICE FROM THE LANE.
Why should corn dealers prosper ? Why, indeed !
Walk down Mark Lane and mark how all suck seed!
Characters in Contrast.-
Old Salts.
-Young Freshmen and
Splendide Mend ax.—Lying in state.
