Why is Mrs. Sturt like a young kitten?
Because she is fond of play.
Why is the Club at Brookes's like cannibals?
Because they prey one upon another.
Why is Mrs. Siddons like the late Sir Joshua Reynolds?
Because she deceives the public into a belief that art is nature.
Why is Lord Wycombe an advocate for peace?
Because his father made nothing until he put an end to the war.
Why are the Members of Opposition like the live stock of a Register Office?
Because they want places."—(Times, Feb. 9, 1793.)
