PUNCH'S ALMANACK FOR 1879.
[December !), 1878.
END OF COOK'S VOYAGES.
Infuriated and Overwrought Tourists "Finish off" their Conductor, QJi once more thankfully putting Footon theib^'ativeJShore.
Small Change for Silexce.—The Foreign
Office does not, in practice, acknowledge the
maxim that " silence is golden." To copy diplo-
matic records of the most momentons State
secrets, it employs writers at tenpence an hour.
At this rate, silence is copper.
HOMAGE OF THE HEART.
(To a wealthy Wife.)
My wife weighs more than good twelve score ;
She weighed scarce seven of old.
She has now grown fat—but what of that ?
She is worth her weight in gold.
Police—A South London Tradesman is pulled
up at Lambeth for using false weights and
measures. The Magistrate commits him to
prison without the option of a fine, where he is
set to learn prosody, by way of correcting his
false quantities.___
