    Truly, France Is To Be Envied For Someth...

    Truly , France is to be envied for something more than its witty women and its delicious claret . How easily contented is that happyminded nation . For weeks every mind has been on the rack of expec" tation , waiting for the fresh measure of liberal reform , which their Emperor was about graciously to concede . The letter which is to free

    France , is published , and behold—it announces the necessity of making parish , roads in the country ! We know that the Government of Louis Napoleon rests on no less true basis than the love of his subjects , else should we be tempted to think that he was bent on showing there are many Roads to Ruin !

    Alas ! Misfortune Ever Pursues The Brave...

    Alas ! misfortune ever pursues the brave and the innocent with relentless ferocity ! Poor Sir William Mansfield has lost another leg of mutton . This time the leg , damning proof ! was found in the aide-decamp ' s quarters . This hardened wretch ( who subsequently turned out to be innocent ) had actually said on being questioned about the missing

    leg , that he " supposed it must have been eaten , " But calamity cannot weaken the intellect of a head like Sir William Mansfield ; he replied with stern accuracy that a sheep had four legs , and only three had been accounted for . It never occurred to the afflicted general that the faithful sheep might be only commencing a career of severe flattery by reducing its number of legs till , like his noble master , he should not have one to stand on !
