We trust that when Mr. FAGAN revives the "original cast" he will not omit to provide also against the inevitable call of "Author!" and settle the BACON-SHAKSPEARE controversy once for all.


THE VEGES ON STRIKE.

(A Dream.)

A noise arose of earnest men

Refusing imitation duck;

It was a dreadful moment when

The Beetroot-eaters struck,

And all around untasted stood

Rations of Mr. Kilo's favourite food.
