slighted, or sea-lighted heroine, known as "Dave's Daughter" (oh,
how fond Mr. W.A. ELLIOTT must be of _Dave Purvis_, the weakest
sentimentalist-accidental-lunatic-criminal that ever was let off
scot-free at R.H. first entrance before the fall of the Curtain),
and the undaunted heroism and unblushing villany of Messrs. CHARLES
DALTON, COCKBUKN, KINGSTON & Co. The title might well have been, _Good
Lights of Home, and Wicked Livers all Abroad_.

"TOP-DRESSING."--Said Mr. G. to a Welsh audience, "I might as well
address the top of Snowdon on the subject of the Establishment, as
address you on the matter." Flattery! The top of Snowdon, of course,
represented the highest intelligence in Wales.

"I pity the poor Investors!" exclaimed Mrs. R. sympathetically, when
she saw the heading of a paragraph in the _Times_--"Bursting of a
Canal Bank."

A BIG BOOMING CHANCE LOST!--Miss LOTTIE COLLINS, according to the
_Standard's_ report of the proceedings on board the unfortunate
_Cepheus_, said that, on seeing two jeering men rowing out from shore,
holding up bread to the hungry passengers, she, "had she been a
man, would have shot them." She wasn't a man, and so the two brutes
escaped. But what another "_Boom! te-ray,--Ta, ra, ra_," &c., &c.,
this would have been for LA COLLINS!
