Fifth_, Act iii. s. 1.]

THE OLD FRENCHMAN AND THE YOUNG.

(_After a Well-known Original._)

"You are old, '_Le Grand Francais_,'" the young Frank said,
"And your hair has become very white.
Yet the Judges award you five years, it is said--
I can't think, at your age, it's quite right."

"Such Gaul gratitude, boy!" _Le Grand Francais_ replied,
"As it brightens history's page;
In my youth I served France, was her boast and her pride;
And France has forgotten my age."

"I hear," said Mrs. R., "that there is some question of real or sham
Constables at Burlington House. Why not refer it to the Chief Commissioner
of Police?"

Sad, but True.

Your journalist may be a scribe of sense, or comicality,
Avoiding the sensational, the silly, and the shoppy;
But he can never make a claim to true originality,
His contributions always being recognised as "copy."
