Motley Reflection.—What better name for an historian than "Motley"? Not in the buffoonic sense of the term; not when, to change the spelling, "Motley is your only ware"; but as implying a variety of talents as equal as the patches in the perfect dress of a harlequin. Of course the pen is the wand. What transformations cannot the Motley historian bring about! A monster becomes a man, and a man a monster.

Air—"Little Ah Sid." (With Apologies to Mr. Louis Meyer.)
