TO MANKIND IN GENERAL--

THEREFORE TO MR. GLADSTONE IN PARTICULAR.

(_See Speech by Miss Cozens at Meeting of Woman's Emancipation
Union at Birmingham, Oct. 27._)

The time is come, beware of "us,"
There's thunder in the air;
Your future's in the care of "us;"
Beware of "us"--beware!

We'll cease to coax and "Cozen" you
By fascinating smiles,
And gaily now impose on you
By dynamitic wiles.

A JUDGE'S LAMENT.

[Q.B.D. = QUEEN'S BENCH DIVISION.]

After the labours of Vacation,
Ten long weeks with nothing to do,
I feel that I need some recreation,
