Whether tip-toppy swells or poor shop-girls. But all that is trumpery talk.

What I arsk is, why shouldn't the 'Buses be kept a bit reglar, like Cabs,

In the matter of fares and of distances? Oh, a old woman it crabs

To hear of Perprietors pinching pore fellers as drive or conduck,

While the "Pirates" play up merry mag with the poor helpless fare, as gets stuck

Betwixt Dividend-grinders and Strikers? It ought to be altered, I say.

Whilst they talk of what 'Bus-folk should earn, they forget the pore Publick—who pay!


LE PRINCE S'AMUSE.

An Apologetic Idyl.
