  For the Old Ladies. A tea-party without scandal is like a knife without a handle. Words without deeds are like the husks without the seeds. Features without grace are like a clock without a face. A land without the laws is like a cat without her claws. Life without cheer is like a cellar without beer. A master without a cane is like a rider without the rein. Marriage without means is like a horse without his beans. A man without a wife is like a fork without a knife. A quarrel without fighting is like thunder without lightning. Motto for a Self-made and Successful Money-lender.—"A loan I did it!" Improper Expression.—Let it never be said, that when a man jumps for joy, "his delight knows no bounds." The opposite to a tea-fight—A coffee-mill. Crossing-Sweeper Crossing-Sweeper (to Brown, whose greatest pride is his new brougham, diminutive driver, &c.). "'Igh! Stop! You've lost somethin'—the coachman!" AT THE STORES AT THE STORES. BUY—OUR TAPESTRY ARTIST |
