Times London correspondent concerning Palm
erston: A persistent otlice-scckcr found an
appointment that would suit him, and he had
political influence. It was necessary, however,

seeker returned, when the noble Lord had to
regret that there was now no opening in the
direction in which the oflicc-secker sought pro-
motion. "And have been ut the trouble Of
learning Spanish for nothing,'' said the disap-
pointed applicant "No," said Lord Palmer

THE BLACK CROOK.
When Richard Roe, the sable crook,
Swore loud and long upon the book,
And steepcd his perjnred soul In sin,
To save his whisky bloated skin,
lie little thought that Emery Staws
Would scratch hin with his legal claws,
With peaked stick his steps would urge,
And ply him we'll with puke and purge.
Till, spite his Fuckers and his swallcrs,
He'd fain disgorgc million dollars.
So thus shall Richards piercing squea1
Bring back unto the Commonwea1
The sheke1s he eretwhile did steal.
What though success had for j time
Quite gi11c1 o'er Dicks dirty crime,
Now, poor, despiscd, and Come to gr1ef,
He's, after all, vulgar thief:
MORAL.
The honest policy's best, by gosh!
For It's the only one will wash.
QUEKCus,
