THE PHANTOMS.
The faces that meet me night and

Are wizards to hide the soul below;
And masquer guesses at each

But the phantom folk that never were
born
Are the only folk really know.
Never one half flesh or bone;
But each to the full his fame will
quaff,
When time at our poor conceit will
laugh
And the longest life that ever was
known
Is edited down to an epitaph.

Edie and Oldbuck, Picxwick, Sam,
Beckey and Poyser-these are they,

closely by District Attorney Baker as TO
a series of letters. which he described as

yate Office and were dictated to her with
out names added, presumably 20 persons
