Beware! Beware!
Trifle not,
Sense is schooling thee!
"Three weeks have I been on my back!"--
_Take care!_
You don't want to _renew_ the rack.
Beware! Beware!
East winds are out,
They'll be cooling thee!
"It is a _beast_ of a complaint!"--
_Take care!_
Don't storm! Your pulse is fluttering, faint.
Beware! Beware!
Worry not,
Think of _syncope_!
"Tush! Taking Care's the awfullest worry!"--
_Take care!_
For "Complications" punish hurry.
Beware! Beware!
Resist him not,
Who'd be ruling thee!
Keep warm indoors, take lots of rest.
_Take care_!
That of all counsels is _the_ best.
Beware! Beware!
_Out_? Cert'nly _not_!
For two weeks--or _three_!
[_Left fuming._

"ON THE SLY."--The name of Mr. J.E. SLY was mentioned in the _World_
last week as a candidate for the office of High Bailiff of the City
of London Court. Quite a Shakspearian name is _Sly_. "Look in the
Chronicles," quoth _Christopher_ of that ilk, "We came in with RICHARD
Conqueror." We drink success to him in "a pot of the smallest ale" and
"Let the _World_ slip,"--whether it did slip or not, the event will
prove,--"We shall ne'er be younger."
