Some day, perhaps, when I have made my pile,

And can from ostentatious show refrain,

Without the Greengrocer to purchase "style,"

I possibly once more may entertain!

And so,—I know not how it came about,

But if by chance, it is a happy fluke

That I at length without the slightest doubt

Have lived to bless that Greengrocer's Rebuke!


QUELCHING QUELCH.—Mr. QUELCH, before the Labour Commission, is said to have expressed his opinion that "the liberty to combine should not involve the liberty not to combine." Doesn't Mr. QUELCH see, that without "liberty not to combine" there cannot be any "liberty to combine." For if a man is not at liberty to abstain from combination, it is obvious that he is compelled to combine; and compulsion is hardly liberty. Freedom lies in choice, and Mr. QUELCH would leave the workman none.
