Text Appearing Before Image:
in, gently petting The new hounds ot their packs;Railway directors, sweating Neath the jobs piled on their backs;Squires great on bovine races ; Lawyers, like cabs, at call;Some great men of small places, In a large place feeling small. Tis strange how Lords and Commons, Snob and swell, squire and clown,Proclaim themselves, on summons, To the House going down.If our wise ones, who thus gather, The highest places crown,The answer should be rather, Going up than going down. But alas, to judge by quality Of measures and of votes ;By the jobbery and venality, The turn of talk and coats;By the Houses odds and evens, Its rebuke and its renown,Most members to St. Stephens Too truly do go down. For thee, my stout Earl Russell, Who preparst to face the storm,And re-test thine ancient muscle Gainst the hard knot of Reform.Thy least consideration place, On John Brights smile or frown,Lets hope that thine will prove a case Of going up, not down. PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI—February 10, 1866.

GOING DOWN TO THE HOUSE. Lord Russell. WELL, BRIGHT, WHAT DO YOU WANT? Johunt Bright. ANYTHING YOUR HONOUR IS WILLING TO GIVE ME NOW. February 10, 1866.) PUNCH. OR THE LONDON CHAKIVART. 59 fmwjrs CaMe-ftalh. 385.I Hope to see all the Water Companies swept away, and Londonsupplied, on the non-intermission principle, from the Bala Lake, orbetter, from the head waters of the Severn, by Plinlimmon. It is dis-graceful that the metropolis of the world should be worse off thanGlasgow, and half a dozen obscure cities in the north of England.Every house in it could have water up to the garret, and the naturalfall would send up a fountain in Smithfield to the height of St. Pauls. 386.In St. Kilda all the inhabitants catch cold when a stranger arrives.I usually catch one, which confines me to my room, when a strangerproposes to arrive, and I dont want him. 387.Grammar is thought to have improved. Yet many rich but honestpeople are not cured of writing that they will have much pleasure inacceptin
