ON NEWGATE WINDOWS.
LL Newgate windows bay windows they be;
All lookers out there stand at bay we see.
John Heywood (1506-1565).
T was a grand scene, Mr. Artemus Ward standing on the platform; many of the audience sleeping tranquilly in their seats; others leaving the room and not returning; others crying like a child at some of the jokes,—all, all formed a most impressive scene, and showed the powers of this remarkable orator. And when he announced that he should never lecture in that town again, the applause was absolutely deafening.
C. F. Browne, Artemus Ward's Lecture.
THE REASONS FOR DRINKING.
F all be true that I do think,
There are five reasons we should drink:
Good wine; a friend; or being dry;
Or lest we should be by-and-by;
Or any other reason why.
