LYRICS OF LOCOMOTION.

SONG or THE EXCURSIONIST.
(Prom Fun.)
Away 1 for the season has ended,
Away, all who think to improve,
The health which in London expended,
Comes back when you get on the move.
Steamer and railwfty and yacht, in
Omnibus, "Hansom," and train,
Are filled with the folks who will not in
Town be till October again.
With smoking, and steaming, and smother,
Packing and snacking and crack,
All go off smewhero or other,
Too often to wish themselves back.

Members their mansions forsaking,
Rejoiced that its "up" with the House,
Are down to the moors to be taking
An aim (not in vain) at the grouse.
Our artists, for scenery wishing,
Go rambling and scrambling about,
Alternately sketching and fishing,
It's sketching a tree or a trout.
With their smoking, etc.
Delighted " the season" is over,
Life's partners, the husband and spouse,
Are cutting for Deal and for Dover,
And Hastings and Brighton and COTTOB.
Boating and bathing and swimming.,
Time never hangs on their hands,
Whilst Margate and Ramsgate are brimming
With juveniles out on the sands.
Smoking and steaming, etc.
Though once you would have to dip deeply
In purse if your fancy was set
On a trip to the continent, cheaply
you
lanthitherdladyget;You
warning
She's not to sit up after nine,
At seven start off in the morning,
And
jdus cituiekl give y
your
At six you in Paris may dine.
Smoking and steaming, etc.
Barristers, journalists, judges,
Now take their holiday turns,
(Nobody ever begrudges
The leisure an editor earns).
On the wing is the whole population,
And all who can take flight from town,
Go out for a six weeks vacation,
Or in for " a run up and down."
Smoking and steaming, etc.

All off on their yearly excursion,
Where Londoners go may be seen,
Their rise from the briny immersion,
Or bathing their eyes in the green.
The busiest, cleverest, funniest
Folks from the town disappear,
But welcome the prettiest, sunniest,
Pleasantest time of the year.
Though travel brings worry and bother,
And spending of money, good lack I
And all who go somewhere or other
Are glad when they find themselves back.

Pains in the Limbs.--Aluscular pains are sometimes insuf-

general health at first, ultimately such must be their effect
if permitted to continua unrelieved. It should be gene-
rally known that after fomentation with warm salt and
water, Holloway's ointment, well rubbed upon the affected
part twice a day, gives infinite ease and secures ultimate
recovery. Holloway's pills should also be taken to assist
in the cure ; they prevent all weak and numb feelings, so
apt to prevail after neuralgic attacks. A lady writes—
"After suffering a martyrdom from ticdoloreux, and ob-
taining no relief from the faculty, I tried your ointment
