The only Almanachs that have yet appeared are

but the hares now supplied to the Paris market are
quite diseased, resembling very much measly pork;
in addition, parts Of the body are covered with small

the Geological Gardens Society, which has no objection

flesh is not putrid.

good of trade,'' was the blubbered reply. The doctor
then laid on them with his cane, assuming the delin-
quents he acted also, for the good of trade"
