Two Apt Anagrams.
A person once wrote this anagram of the name "Napoleon Bonaparte": "No, appear not on Elba."
When it was rumored that the Duke of Wellington intended marrying a rich heiress, Angelina Burdett Coutts, this anagram appeared:
"The Duke must in his second childhood be,
Since in his doting age he turns to A B C."

No. 19.—A Jingle of Jacks.
Pray find, without much tribulation,
Full many a neat ejaculation:
The Jack1 that flies at vessel's prow;
Before it all good Jack Tars bow;
The Jack2 that on a darksome night
May well inspire one's soul with fright;
The Jack3 that rears its massive trunk
O'er flowers that of the brook have drunk;
The Jack4 whom ev'ry butcher greets
With offers of all lean-fleshed meats;
The Jack5 whom sober-minded people shun,
So great his size he fills a tun!
The Jack6 who makes the strong and hale
Before its very name turn pale;
And now I'll tell you of one Jack—
The Jack who has the happy knack
Of making sunshine out of shade—
The dearest Jack that e'er was made!
