And though these bankers care for gold, it never can be said

Matter-o’-Money it will be if ever they are wed.

Fun, 1879.

Shakespeare at Paddington.

I know a bank whereon foul road-slush flows,

Where passing one hath need to hold one’s nose;

Where the familiar slop-carts do combine

To store malodorous muck in fetid line.

There drowses heavy Bumble day and night,
