      PUNCH,

      OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.

      Vol. 102.

      February 6, 1892.

      A GOOD STAYER.

      THE DEALER SAID, THE MARE COULD STAY FOR EVER. SHE SEEMED INCLINED TO DO SO WHEN JONES WISHED TO BE AFTER THE HOUNDS.

      RECEIPT AGAINST INFLUENZA.

      DEAR SIR,—I send you this gratis. It is for everybody's benefit,

      Yours.

      GEORGE GUZZLETON, X.M.D.

      P.S.—I give "Coenæ prescriptionem only, as the Prescrip: prandialis" can be taken out of this with variations.

      LITERARY GARDENING.—A Correspondent, signing himself STULTUS IN HORTU OR HORT-U-NOT? writes, Please, Sir, if my boy JOHN plant 'a slip of a pen,' what will it come up? Answer paid—A Jonquill.

      TO THE QUEEN.

      (From the Nation.)

      Queenly as womanly, those words that start

      From sorrow's lip strike home to sorrow's heart.

      Madam, our griefs are one;

      But yours, from kinship close and your high place,

      The keener, mourning him in youth's glad grace

      Who loved you as a son.

      We mourn him too. Our wreaths of votive flowers

      Speak, mutely, for us. The deep gloom that lowers

      To-day across the land

      Is no mere pall of ceremonial grief.

      'Tis hard in truth, though reverent belief

      Bows to the chastening hand.

      Hard—for his parents, that young bride, and you,

      Bearer of much bereavement, woman true,

      And patriotic QUEEN!

      We hear the courage striking through the pain,

      As always in your long, illustrious reign,

      Which shrinking ne'er hath seen,—

      Shrinking from high-strung duty, the brave way

      Of an imperial spirit. So to-day

      Your People bow—in pride.

      The sympathy of millions is your own.

      May Glory long be guardian of your Throne,

      Love ever at its side!

      ENTIRELY UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIAL.—Dartmoor.—Gentlemen,—Two years ago I wrote somebody else's name with one of your pens. Since then I have used no other.

      Yours faithfully, A.F. ORGER.

      To Messrs. STEAL, KNIBBS & CO.

      LA GRIPPE.

      ("I'm a devil! I'm a devil!" croaked Barnaby Rudge's Raven 'Grip': And this is a raven-mad sort of Edgar-Allan-Poem by Un qui est Grippé.)

      Once upon a midnight dreary

      Coming home I felt so weary,

      Felt, oh! many a pain; so curious,

      Which I'd never felt before.

      Then
