AT a house off the stones the bewitching Miss Jones, Who was ill of the fiddle dum dee, Invited Miss Rose with her little pug nose, And a good many others to tea; There was pretty Miss Brown and her elegant frown, With language correct as in print.
And ancient Miss Knight and her oculars bright, Despite of a bit of a squint.
Spoken.] W'ell, Miss Jones, it quite delights me to see you look so well. Poor thing! I wish I could return the compliment, she's nearly blind. How are you, Miss West? Lauks, I purtest you are wet through. I went ten minutes out of my way, to a confectioner's, to enquire if um brellas were lent on lure, and they told me to go lziylz'er on - so I got wet, but I don't mind it, for I called in at the Goat and Compasses, and had a glass of peppermint, and a half-pennyworth of penny winkles to take the chill off the rain. Ha, Miss North, your humble - Molly, a chair! Miss West, I avow you'll catch cold in those wet things. Do let me send you down to the kizchen fire. What! Mics Best, and Pompey, her poodle, too. Well, I declare l'm two honoured. Pompey, make your bow wow to the company. (dog barks.) O, the sweet crea ture, how was he taught to be so polite? Really, ma'am,l can't tell, but, as he is very sagacious. It strikes me he took it naturally. I was afraid, during his late temporary illness. His elegant roice might lose its tone, and so I sent to the Chemist's tor a pennyworth of bark. O, bless your heart! You are a kind mama! What, Miss Diggs, I hope you are well? Thank you, ma'am, but I couldn't come belo. E.

On our arrival at the conclusion of the first volume of our work, we feel it a duty incumbent on ourselves to address our friends and the public at large in terms of congratulation; we can but look round and view with pride and satisfaction the mighty distance at which we have left our competitors, conceiving that we may boldly challenge the world at large to produce a Volume of Songs so well selected, so neatly printed, so splendidly embellished, and in fact altogether in every department so beautifully unique and complete. We may be thought to possess, and accused of displaying, a great share of egotism in making this assertion, but at such a charge we shall merely smile; the unprecedented and almost incredible sale of the Work, and unqualified praise bestowed upon it, being a sufficient test to bear us out in our declaration.
