That, physically—(Pheugh! that little wheel

Is dangerous as poor old WELLER's "widder,")

I wish, with big and little wheel confounded,

That I were on a Safety, after all!)


WHISPER BY AN ILL WIND.—If Alderman KNILL cannot conscientiously attend the Established Church service, whereat it is not essential for a Lord Mayor to be present, the Court of Aldermen ought to be proud of him, and elect him "Willy-Knilly" to be Lord Mayor all the same. Whatever may be the result, of Alderman KNILL nothing but good can be said. "Nil nisi bonum."
