["A resolution on the Agenda of the Greenwich Board of Works runs as follows:—­’That, in order to enable the foreman of the dustmen in the Parish of St. Paul, Deptford, to get about that parish with more expedition, and so superintend the work of the men under his control to greater advantage than is now possible, a tricycle be obtained for his use, at a cost not exceeding L21 1s. 6d.’” Daily Chronicle.]

  BUMBLE will ope his eyes, egad,
    In hutter consternation. 
  He’d think as soon of a park-prad
    For covies in my station. 
  Our Board o’ Works knows wot is wot,
    And has a feller-feeling. 
  About the parish must I trot? 
    No, hang it!  I’ll go Wheeling!

CHORUS.

    Out o’ the road!  The highway clear! 
      OSMOND’s the Cyclist’s fust man;
    And I, by co-in-side-ance clear,
      Am the fust Cycling Dustman! 
    The happy foreman Dustman! 
      The Cycle-riding Dustman! 
    Yes, by a co-in-side-ance queer,
      I’m the fust Cycling Dustman!

  Old fogies to the papers write,
    Grumbling about their dust, Sirs. 
  They says we’re scarce and imperlite,
    Unless we’re well tipped fust, Sirs. 
  When I wheels round on my machine,
    Like ZIMMERMAN on hisn,
  If we don’t keep their dustbins clean,
    Wy, pop me into prison!

CHORUS.

    Their refuse-pails we’ll promptly clear,
      When on the wheels I’m fust man;
    And even sour old maids shall cheer
      The Cycle-riding Dustman! &c.

  Cycles for Dust-hos!  Arter that,
    It’s Hosborne to my hattic
  That Dusty BOB of the flap ’at
    Will turn haristocratic. 
  BUMBLE, old buck, I cannot tell
    ‘Ow bloomin’ proud I feel, man,
  Old Shanks’s mare I once knew well,
    But now I’m turned swell Wheelman.

CHORUS.

    Good Greenwich Board o’ Works!  Hurroo! 
      Elated?  Ain’t I just, man! 
    Show the Big D!  ’Twill bring to you
      The Cycle-riding Dustman! &c.

(NOTES ON THE NEXT CASE.)

Commencement of the Case.—­I am an enthusiast, and I am jotting down on this sheet of paper the story of my last exploit.  A few days since I saw a dear little fellow in long clothes deserted by its mother, and took quite an interest in it.  The next I hear of the sweet little boy is that he had been caught up by Dr. MARCELLUS and carried to his Home!  Shall I permit this?  No, from the view I had of the mother before she deserted the little lad (who, by the way, was called PITT WELLINGTON, after two statesmen recently deceased), I imagine she must have been a Reformed Revivalist of the New Connexion.  PITT WELLINGTON shall be brought up as a Reformed Revivalist of the New Connexion.
