LINES BY A LEWISHAM WITLER.

The PENN is mightier than the sword—

Of any Red-Rad whipster.

I said he'd win—doubted my word;

But I'm the O.K. tipster.

Rads roughed on me and called me "Bung;"

I've bunged them up—a corker—

At the result their heads they hung.

They whip the Witler? Walker!

We're the PENN-holders. For their man

That One-Six-Nine-Three nicked him,

Witlers warmed up "Old Warmingpan;"

PENN gave him odds, and licked him.

"Villadom" did its duty—game;

Rads jeered it; that's their mania.

Lewisham? No, we'll change the name,

And call it—PENN-Sylvania!


TIP BY A TORY.—The Star, talking of "HODGE's Political Salvation," says that Mr. GLADSTONE has given the Liberal country programme in a sentence. I will give it in a word. It is all "Hodge-podge!"


UNATTRACTIVE COMBINATION.—If a young woman is "fast," and uncommonly ugly, wouldn't she make a great mistake were she to combine the two qualities, and be "fast-'idious"?
