'd, and worse than that, with thirst and cough beside, sirs; Skin dry, and breathing difficult, and pains in epigastrium, And watchfulness or partial sleep, with dreams would strike the bravest dumb. To cure--restore the balance of exhalants and absorbents, With squill, blue-pill, and other means to soothe the patient's torments. GRINDER. Sure this is not your climax, sir, to save from Davy's locker! STUDENT. Way, no,--I'd then with caution tap--when first I'd tied the knocker. Sing hey! sing ho! if you cannot find a new plan, In Puseyistic days like these, you'd better try a New-man. TYMPANITIS. The swelling here is different--sonorous, tense, elastic; On it you might a tattoo beat, with fingers or with a stick. There's costiveness and atrophy, with features Hippocratic; When these appear, there's much to fear, all safety is erratic. Although a cordial laxative, mix'd up with some carminative, Might be prescribed, with morphia, or hops, to keep the man alive; Take care his diet's nutritive, avoiding food that's flatulent, And each week let him have a dose of Punch from Mr. Bryant sent. Sing hey! sing ho! &c. * * * * * ALARMING PROSPECTS FOR THE COUNTRY. It appears that no less than _one hundred and sixty-four_ Attorneys have given notice of their intention to practise in the Court of Queen's Bench; and _eleven_ of the fraternity have applied to be re-admitted Attorneys of the Court. We had no idea that such an alarming extension was about taking place in [Illustration: THE RIFLE CORPS.] * * * * * "ONE GOOD TURN DESERVES ANOTHER." A poor man went to hang himself, But treasure chanced to find; He pocketed the miser's pelf And left the rope behind. His money gone, the miser hung Himself in sheer despair: Thus each the other's wants supplied, And that was surely fair. * * * * * We understand that Mr. Webster has solicited Sir Peter Laurie to make an early debut at the Haymarket Theatre in the _Heir_ (hair) _at Law_. Madame Vestris has also endeavoured to prevail upon the civic mercy. Andrew to appear in the afterpiece of the _Rape of the Lock_. * * * * * THE HEIR OF APPLEBITE. CHAPTER X. WHEREIN THE READER WILL FIND GREAT CAUSE FOR REJOICING.
