He was caught by a Cab Act so awfully stringent,
That it caused all the tricks of the cab stand to fall.
But would this old Waterman feel proper sorrow,
For all his old tricks, and turn honest to-morrow;
And should this old Waterman act with more care,
He'll be licensed, and never impose on a fare.
The American Cupid.
A young lady calls Mr. Hobbs, Cupid, because Cupid is Love, and Love, as the proverb says, laughs at locksmiths, and so does Mr. Hobbs.
