G. Outram, Lyrics: Legal, etc.
HIS picture is a great work of art. It is an oil painting—done in petroleum. It is by the Old Masters. It was the last thing they did before dying. They did this and then they expired.
Some of the greatest artists in London come here every morning before daylight with lanterns to look at it. They say they never saw anything like it before—and they hope they never shall again.
C. F. Browne, Artemus Ward's Lecture.
THE WORLD.
HE world is like a rink, you know:
You lose your wheel, and come to woe!
J. Ashby Sterry, in English Epigrams.
