      a specimen of what can be done at odd moments in the servants ' s hall , with the aid of Jenkins ' s talent , we give an extract : " Still in the ranks we hear it said Some do not like him for his head ; But the old taste of Snob and Co . For merely rank—is 1 'ococo j

Out of this 93 per cent , of the words are of one syllable . As to the last line , were it not for the evident respectability of Buttons , we should imagine he was prompted by reminiscences of a police court . Here we fell asleep . But we have some memory of some easy-tripping verses to Bouverie , and the usual atrocity , we mean acrostic , as a tag : the tag , we have heard , which makes Buttons acceptable to so many young people who have nothing whn what-( ± xre * r f-n r \ n anH arp rnn ^ pniipntlv crrflf ^ fiil tn a nvnnp will
