Truth, August 2, 1883.
The following description of an unpleasant nocturnal adventure has been written especially for this collection:—
The shades of night were falling fast,
One mile from town was Knightsbridge passed,
We found ourselves (it was not nice)
Tripped up by two men in a trice,
And felt so sore!
Our brow was muddy, as beneath
Their pressure we could scarce draw breath,
