Our future Premier, laughing free, I've got my eye upon,
I think you'll all agree with me—his name is P-lm-rston.
And by his side sits sleepily a lord in Scotland bred;
I think you'll all agree with me—that he were best in bed.
Chorus by the Nation.
O yes, we all agree with you that he were best in bed.
Some Lights that want Snuffing Out.
A new religious book is now being advertised under the illuminating title of "The Lamp and the Lantern, a Light for the Tent and the Traveller." If our Exeter Hall friends are in want of quaint titles, we beg leave to suggest "The Bull's Eye and the Dip," or "The Price and the Palmer," or "The Long Four and the Short Six," or "The Kitchen and the Composite."
