P.S.—The Baron says he is not going to be let in for a disquisition on the merits of various Pocket-books; but, if asked which he affectionates most as a genuine book of pockets, and for pockets, he puts his finger to the side of his nose, and wisely replies—"Walker."


Survival of the Fittest.

(At a Trial for Murder.)

Oh, glorious outcome of the Course of Time,—

The watchful, well-attired Old Bailey ogress,

Still finding sweetest stimulus in—Crime!


SEASONABLE GREETING FOR SPIRITUALISTS.—I wish you a rappy New Year!
