FROM DARKEST AFRICA.
Mrs. SHELDON is back from her travels abroad.
Were she only a man, we should hail her as manly!
As it is, there are some who, in wishing to laud,
Are accustomed to call her the feminine STANLEY.
But now this adventurous, much-daring she
Through such perils has gone, and so gallantly held on,
In time that's to come Mr. STANLEY may be
Merely known to us all as the male Mrs. SHELDON!
MOTTO FOR THE OPPONENTS OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.—No noose is good news! (But what will grim Lord GRIMTHORPE say?)
The Cheapest Insurance Office must be the Fee-nix.
