My love-locks fell a prey to Time, the thief.
Regrets are useless, unguents are in vain;
Only remains the sere and yellow leaf.

THE COMMERCIAL TOUCH.

"Presiding at the concert given in connection with the ---- Art
Club's annual exhibition of oil and water-colours, Mr. ----
congratulated the club on the quality of its paintings, which, he
thought, were remarkably cheap when cognisance was taken of the
present high prices of materials."--_Provincial Paper_.

This critic has, as the Art jargon puts it, "a nice feeling for values."

"HOW I DIFFER FROM MY MOTHER."

By A Modern Woman.

'_Women differ by the width of Heaven from what their mothers
were_.'--MR. JUSTICE DARLING.

"I do not smoke and I do not wear bare-back dresses, but I agree with
Mr. Justice Darling--there is the width of Heaven between my mother
and I."--_Evening News_.

Let's hope so, in the matter of grammar.
