Mum's the Word!
[Mr. CHAMBERLAIN presided lately at a Deaf-and-Dumb Meeting.]
JOSEPH reflecteth:—
Deaf-mutes make the best audience, I see;
They gave me no rude flood of gibes to stem.
True, they were deaf, and so could not hear me,
But they were dumb, so I could not hear them!
MADAME ROLAND RE-EDITED (from a sham-Japanese point of view).—O LIBERTY! what strange (decorative) things are done in thy name!
