Changes.—Ned Morris has changed his collar, but continues his shirt for the present. Among the other changes we have to record one effected by Sam Smasher, of a counterfeit sovereign.
It is a remarkable fact that the weathercocks have recently changed their quarters, and have left the West in favour of the East: a predilection of astounding vulgarity.
Timothy Tomkins has had another splendid turn-out from his lodgings, the landlord having complained of want of punctuality in payments.
A LETTER FROM AN OLD FRIEND,
SHOWING HOW HE IS GETTING ON.
Clodpole, Dec. 23, 1841.
MY DEAR PUNCH,
Here I am, you see, keeping Christmas, and having no end of fun amongst the jolly innocent grubs that vegetate in these rural districts. All I regret is that you are not here. I would give a ten-pound note to see you, if I had it;—I would, indeed—so help me several strong men and a steam-engine!
