Selina's savings kept me for a year,

In skittles, gin-and-water, pipes and beer.

COORABUNDY.

(Rousing himself from a lethargy

into which he has fallen),

You two big fools—you talkee here all night;

Black fellow got de stakes—him hold 'em tight.

(He decamps with the proceeds.)

A FAMILY EPISTLE,
FROM A CHINESE EMIGRANT TO HIS WIFE.
