"How pleasant," one murmurs, "'Old Times!'"

Times equally good, we'll engage,

Have others who go with "The Age."

Though outlooks to-morrow be livid,

Hold tight now a joy that is "Vivid."

"Post equitem?" Ah! his reliance,

At least, wasn't placed on "Defiance."


Rather Familiar!—It was announced in the Times that "Canon G. F. Browne will lecture at St. Paul's, in January," on "The Christian Church before the coming of Augustus." The Canon ought to have said "Sir Augustus." Of course there is only one "Augustus," i.e. our "Druriolanus."
