TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES

Dear Sir,—lam willing to bet ten guineas that no Photographer
M town can produce a more correct " group" than the following
speaking likeness, dug from the pages of " Ingoldsby Legends"
—(vide Dead Drummer)—only two or three words altered. I
think it would snake a good companion piece to the Butterman's
present advertisement descriptive of " the" place. I'm certain
Kelly will give it a turn if his regulations permit, and I remain,
dear sir, yours as usual, THOMAS INGOLDSBY.
Tapington, January 13, 1859.

PHOTOGRAPHY.
A couple of travellers * * * * * * * *
Were making their way ;
Their profession, you'd say,
At a single glance, did not admit of a query ;
The smart cap, white apron, and smooth face, worn then—
With scarce an exception, by all Edward's men ;
Blue jacket, loose trousers " bows'd up together"—all
Guiltless of braces, as those of Charles Wetherell ;
The Pigeon-toed step, and the rollicking motion,
Caused them to resemble two sons of the ocean.
The cove in advance was sturdy and strong,
With arms uncommonly bony and long;
Then his Guernsey shirt
Showed not one speck of dirt;
That—these men would think inconvenient and wrong.
He was very broad-breasted,
And very deep-chested;
And his muscular frame correspond with the rest did,
Except as to height, for he could riot be more
At the most, you would say, than some five feet four,
And if measured, perhaps had been found a thought lower.
Dame Nature in fact, whom some person or other,
—A poet - has called a " capricious step-mother,"
You saw when beside him,
Had something denied him,
In longitude what she had granted in lattitude,
A trifling defect,
You'd the sooner detect,
'Cause he never contracted a stoop in his attitude.
Square built and broad-shouldered, good-humoured and gay,
With his collar and countenance open as day,
The latter— ('twas marked with four eyes by the way)—
Had a sort of expression goodwill to bespeak ;
He'd a smile in his eye, and a "quid". in his cheek !
And, in short, notwithstanding his failuc e in height,
He was just such a man as you'd say. at first sight,
You would much rather dine, or shak, hands with, than flight.
iThe other (his much-esteemed foreman) was taller,
By four or five inches at least, than the smaller.
From his air and his mien,
It was plain to be seen,
That he was, or had been,
A something between
The real "Jack Tar" and the "Jolly Marine."
For though he would give an occasional hitch,
Sailor like, to his "breex," there was something the which,
On the whole, savour'd more of lump butter than pitch.
You will probably now•wish their two names to know,
The first is—" the" Kelly, the second is Joe.

Not baccy, but a sly hit at the flutterman's propensity for
quotations, "qui quae quod rel quid."
