o no more! The cost of meat is something dire, As costly, soon or late, It may be soon, will grow the fire In the domestic grate.John Bull may have to blow his nail Ere many winters roll.Lest food the Iron Horse should fail, Economise your coal! NELSONS SLY'UNS. (Trafalgar Square) The largest Lion now in the Zoological Gardens has refused to sit asa model for the fourth Lion in Trafalgar Square. This, we believe, is the fact; and not, as at first stated, that Sir Edwin Landseer, positively refused to sit for the largest Lion in the Zoological Gardens.The Noble Beast (meaning the Lion) objected to his head being takenoff.

We had just begun to play our own game, and had pocketed the red, carrying all before us, when cricket balls, stumps, and bats were hurled at us from the neighbouring thickets, and the fun began in earnest. We found ourselves in an ambush. I took this opportunity of scoring one very long run, and I shouldn't have come back again if I hadnt been induced to return by two Colwell-Hatchneyites hitting me over the shins with stumps. I waved my hand
