... ong!ink'' 92.'trg. THE LADIES' TAX.' BY MISS WEBSTER. To make a spoon or spoil a born Is a proverb that implies That men to different fates are born, Some fall; some level keep, some rise; While some engage in bloody lights, Like our friends across the water, Some spend their days in seeing sights Mdore innocent than slaughter, Though not worth going to be seen, But only like the crinoline, ...

... HEN1t', MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE, BORN JULY 2, 1780 ; DIED JANUARY 31, 1863. (FaLOM PUNre.) Low lies the gray head that had borne so well Its weight of years and hoisour, from far days That seem as alien to our blame or praise As days whereof books only live to tell. How one by one Time's tooth eats through the chain Whose links unite our lives to that gray past ! A golden link was this, that ...
