SONGS FOR THE SENTIMENTAL.—­NO. 7.

  Fair Daphne has tresses as bright as the hue
    That illumines the west when a summer-day closes;
  Her eyes seem like violets laden with dew,
    Her lips will compare with the sweetest of roses. 
  By Daphne’s decree I am doom’d to despair,
    Though ofttimes I’ve pray’d the fair maid to revoke it. 
  “No—­Colin I love”—­(thus will Daphne declare)
    “Put that in your pipe, if you will, sir, and smoke it.”

  Once I thought that she loved me (O! fatal deceit),
    For she wore at the dance the gay wreath I had twined her;
  She smiled when I swore that I envied each sweet,
    And vow’d that in love’s rosy chains I would bind her. 
  I press’d her soft hand, and a blush dyed her cheek;
    “Oh! there’s love,” I exclaim’d, “in that eye’s liquid glancing.” 
  She spoke, and I think I can still hear her speak—­
    “You know about love what a pig knows of dancing!”

AND THE POOR LAW COMMISSIONERS.

It is not generally known that the above gentleman has been officially engaged by the eminent and philanthropic pauper-patrons, to put his principles into practice throughout the whole of the Unions in the United Kingdom.

Knowing the extraordinary appetite of the vulgar for anything approaching the unintelligible and marvellous, we feel sorry to be obliged, by a brief detail of this gentleman’s early life and habits, to divest the present phenomenon of much of its apparent wonder and romance.
