n't the fashion
To write of such things in so high flown a style.
Yet maybe I'm entitled to so much of passion
As to say that you won me outright with your smile.
Though a merciless fate may not let it befall so,
For we know not at all what there may be in store,
Yet next year, if you're down there--and I am there also,
Shall we do what we did in the summer before?

"TO ERR IS HUMAN."--"Even I am not always infallible," observed _Mr. P._,
on noticing that, in the dialogue under a picture, last week, the spelling
of "cover-coat" for "covert-coat" had escaped his eagle eye. Just as he was
wondering to himself how such things could be, his other and eagler eye
caught this line in the correspondence, _per_ "Dalziel," from Chicago, in
the _Times_ for Sept. 23:--"Great Britain has chosen a sight for her
buildings at the World's Fair." If "taken" had been substituted for
"chosen," the mistake might have borne a satirical meaning. No doubt Great
Britain has not made any error as to the site she has selected, from any
point of view.

MEM. IN COLOURS.

Man's life is in two colours, simply told:
Green while you're young, and grey when you are old.

DOMESTIC COOKERY.--(_For a future New Edition of "Mrs.
Glasse-with-care"_)--It will contain suggestions for new dishes, to be
arranged according to grammatical divisions of gender and number, as "case"
already exists. A specimen of the first will be _Une Femme-lette_, a female
companion dish to _Un 'Ommelet_. Another example proposed is _La Petite
Marmite_ and _Le Petit Pa'mite_, two dishes most suitable for a very small
family party; say of dwarf Troglodytes. "Number" of dishes must always be
"a party question;" though at the same time politics will be rigidly
excluded from the new publication.
