1t is said of Lord Norbury that he
would at any time rather lose friend
than joke. On one occasion he be-
gan the sentence of death in this wise:
"Prisoner at the bar, you have been
found guilty by ajury of your coun-
trymen OF the crime laid to your
charge, and l must say 1 entirely
agree with the verdict, for l see
.scoundrel written in your face
Here the prisoner interrupted with
"Thats strong reflection from
your Lordship," Whereupon the
Judge, keenly appreciating the joke
commuted the sentence to transpor'
tation for seven years.

will drink to the phantoms Of love and truth,
To ruined manhood, and to wasted youth,
| drink to the woman that wrought my woe,
| In the diamond morning OF long ago;
To Q heavenly face IN sweet repose,
To the lily's snow and the blood Of the rose;
| That thrilled in the orbs Of her glorious eyes,
These eyes SO dark with the Dire OF the South,
And the ds.y wine OF her rich red mouth.
