TOUCHSTONE FOR THE TIMES.

Midas (we read) with wond'rous art of old,
Whate'er he touch'd, at once transformed to gold;
This modern statesmen can reverse with ease,
Touch them with gold, they'll turn to what you please.

That he should leave his office quite,
He only is _suspended_.

EPITAPH

_On a man of the name of Fish._

_Fish's_ bait for worms--is that not passing strange?
