L'ENVOI.
Friend, if you wish for happiness complete,
Look for it in some hamlet distant far.
Forget—where catkins blow and lambkins bleat—
Globe, Evening News, Pall Mall, St. James's, Star!
QUEER QUERIES.—FISH-DIET.—I am writing an important historical work, which takes a great deal out of my brain, and I shall be glad to know what is the best kind of diet for nourishing the brain-cells. Fish has been strongly recommended to me. Would a herring and a half for breakfast take me through a chapter on the Norman Conquest? If a herring and a half does for WILLIAM the Conqueror, how many would be necessary for ELIZABETH? Would a whole salmon or barrel of oysters be best for tackling our early Constitutional History?—MACAULAY JUNIOR.
