KITCHEN CONUNDRUM. "Come Thomas," says Kitty, "pray make us a pun,-- You're goodnatured and never refuse;" "Ask coachee," says Tom, "_he's_ the fellow for Fun,-- For he knows the way to _a-mews_." Says coachee, "Why Thomas you puzzle my brains, For you never can bridle your wit;" "But how comes it, that I, tho' exposed to the _reins_ Ev'ry day, never _suffer a bit_?" * * * * * DEAR TIMES. After the union with Ireland, when the Irish members had taken their seats, one of them, in the heat of his maiden speech, blustered out, "Now, dare Mr. Speaker," which, of course, set the house in an immoderate fit of laughter. When the tumult had subsided, Sheridan observed, "that the honourable gentleman was perfectly in order, since, thanks to the ministry, everything at that time was immoderately _dear_." |
