You could never be young as the fairies are
And never as old.

RARA AVIS.
From a cigarette-card:—
"REED WARBLER.
"Acrocephalus streperus.
"This bird is found in nearly every part of the British Islands. It builds a nest about a foot off the ground in the reed beds, and is formed of grass, horse hair and sometimes feathers."
From a list of medallists of the new Order of the British Empire:—
"G. P. Hamlet.—For courage in persisting with dangerous work, with a certainty of suffering from poisoning as a result."
