And walked her up before the Judge,
On charge of being a hooker.

The missus swore the girl a thief
Her property as lifted,
Which proved beyond all doubt would be
When things came to be sifted.

The girl said she'd been to a jig;
Then out spoke Judge MCCARTY,
"You must not wear the fixings of
A party to a party."

They sent her up for sixteen months,--
Oh! drop a tear to MARY,
Whose missus ne'er shall see her more
A-sweeping out the arey.

Sic Transit.

Life being in any event a transitory affair, and especially so in New
York, where, every one lives some miles from his business, our means of
transit are of interest to every one. However well the owners of those
at present in use may insist that they are, yet the public feels they
should be better, and Mr. PUNCHINELLO, having the interest of his
fellow-citizens at heart, most earnestly hopes that the undertakers of
the last new scheme will not so mistake the meaning of this term as to
suppose that their business with it is simply to bury it.
