What a comfort to view as we sucked up the turtle!

Because we should hail in that union a token

Of a tie to be never undone, cut, or broken;

And a pledge that, as long as the Crown stands unshaken,

From Reform London City shall save its fat bacon.

An Old Maid, who confesses to thirty-five, says: "She doesn't believe—not a bit of it—in the nonsense that men talk about breaking their hearts! It's her firm belief there never was a man yet who broke his heart—or if there was, that he broke it as a lobster breaks one of his claws, another one shooting up very quickly in its place."
