THE NEW BABY.

"That'. done it!" said Mr. Punch,

_
Tbe fact is, that be warn breakfasting in his elegant
and luxurious apartment in the shadow of the starch
of Saint Bride, the bandsoniest spire bar one In Lon-
don. And he does not read the papers until after
breakfast, for be gets so indignant with bad English,
brutal relieving °Moor; base husbands, and puffing
advertisements, that it is not giving fair play to his
cook to mix such things op with an artistic breakfast.
Bo he takes them with his subsequent cigar, and
meantime reads Burton's "Anatomy of Melancholy."
The bells of Bt. Bri.le suddenly dashed out in a wild
chorus of metallic jubilation.
" Hobo r' said At. Poisick, recalling his flne mind
from Burton's celestial devils to terrestrial
" tHave I been publishing another new volume that
tbe world is in ecataciesT'

His secretary entered.
This young nobleman, who Is the heir-apparent to a
dukedom and is qualifying himself, under Yr. Peach's
training:to be Prime Minister when Pam resigns in
1884, had divined his chiers pusriedom, and at once
said, with the most highly-bred composure, and as if
continuing a conversation,
'fl. Princess of Wales presented us with a Prince
about nine o'clock last night."

"The telegram must have been sent to my private
residence," said Mr. Peach. "How is the deer yoisag
lady going on r
_Kxceuently "

" Hooray And a Prince?'
"A Prince," said the young nobleman.
"That's done it," said Mr. Punch.
"I see what you mean," said the young nobleman.
"I should be sorry, my dear marquis, if you did not
explain what I mean."
" You would say that this most opportune event hes
clinched the nail. That we previously felt it • duty to
prevent King Christian from being robbed by the
saussges. but that now it is also a pleasure to aid him.
That the darling Prince. having given the queen a
grandson, the Prince • eon, and the nation a pet, we
are not going to let Schleswig be taken from her father."
"Very well said, Marquis, but call it SlPsvick for
the future. That is the good old tide, and we won't
have the duchy Germanised, even in name. Fend beer
to those ringers. I must write • nursery song for the
new baby."
The secretary withdrew, and in ten minutes had
made • beautiful copy, on pink paper, of the following
ditty, and was hurrying away with it to Frogniore

NO SSSSS SONG 701 1117 NW 11A1IY.

0 slumber my darling, thy sire lee Prince
Whom Mamma beheld skating not quite five hours sines.
And Orandpapa Christian is off to the fray
With Germans, who will steal his nice duchy away.
But slumber, my darling. the English are true,
And they'll help him for love of Mamma and of you,
And the Channel fleet's coming with powder and shell,
And the Germans must run, or they'll (etch it all ha*.
We have only to add that the infant Prince will be
christened Edward Christian Punch Alezander John
Bull Slesvich.—Pancli.

ere now perfection. The same is the case with Herring's
Magnetie Brushes, which are now so perfected, that
failure with them is all but impossible. They are the
true remedy for Grey Hair, Neuralgia, and Nervous
Headache.

This Is an age of Improvement, therefore all changes
should be in that direction. Time WU when good tee
was readily obtainable—pure wholesome tea—Dr.
Samuel Johnson liked such; and people generally seek
cosh now. John Chinaman has not been slow in lading
out that be can pane off his Mown wadi imam by
colouring all qualities alike, thus greatly ineressing his
own and the merchant's profits, at the sommenses ex-
pends. It is highly requisite that good tea be Win
readily obtainable; Hernias= and Co., London, there-
fore import it pure, without any mineral powder on its
surface, being the strong, delicious, mid luvigora
spring sorts; the green • dull olive—not bassi*
the black not made intensely dark; this every ffoldbill
tea drinker admits is a great desideratasi. Supplied
only in packets, through Horniman's own issents.—ffev
