On the Late B.L.

Bob! has he gone above the sky?

We hope that it is so.

Yet when above, however high,

He'll always be B.-LOWE.

I've seen nothing to equal this; at least, being a judge of such things, I may safely say so, adding humbly, "A poor thing, but mine own."

Yours, L.S. PRIT D'ESCALIER.
