even greater eyesores than those Of
Whitechapel. There are labyrinths OF
narrow old streets, bordered by the
most uninviting novels, and from the
saualor of these abodes spring the
components of the ferocious mobs
which are the bane Of the city Even

pointing in appearance; the palaces OF

a wish.
Blame once attached to men who
spoke
SO frequently and at such length.
For verbiage Is too oft the cloak ..
OF weakness rather than Of
strength.
But since the noise Of battle shook
The sphere we tenant, through and
through,
And sorrows rose where'er we'd look
Apologies are surely due.
Oh, gentle, filibustering sprite,
No more your dullness you rehearse.
We once regarded you with fright,
We not confess things might be
worse.
So, patriot men Of north and south,
While chasing Spain and watching
France,
Make haste to close the cannon'l
mouth
And give the orators chance.

get up in the night for cough medicine,
and, not having time to light the gas,
hit upon the, wrong bottle, which IS
usually found by the Coroner's ply
sician to contain carbolic acid. 1t
would appear that bottles containing
poison have mysterious power of pre-,
senting themselves before all others to
the; cropping hand. To obviatf this
source Of mortality various schemes
have been suggested, among them the
use Of corrugated glass bottles, easily
distinguished by the touch, for poisons.
and the employment of luminous paint
to warn the midnight searcher from
