well;
Bring me the old Dutchman." The grocer brought,
Shaking with fear, then stood before the Court.
And then' the Justice to recite began
The charter of the Cruelty to An-
Imals Society, and then he said:
"Pride rideth on a donkey, as I've read,
Until it gets a fall, and then it loses
Its dignity and blubbers o'er its bruises.
These are newspaper proverbs, but I fear
You don't love proverbs, as you do your beer.
Just take that donkey and give him an oat,
And don't show up until you've brushed his coat."
The grocer left disgusted, took the brute;
And all the people then at him did hoot.
The cobbler heard and almost split his knee
[He took it for the lapstone in his glee],
"Church bells," quoth he, "but ring us to the mass.
My belle hath gone and saved a starving ass;
And this shall make, when put in jingling rhyme,
The Belle of Rye all famous for all time."
A CHEERFUL SUBJECT.
According to an Ohio paper, a double child has been born to a couple named FINLEY, in Morrow county. It is, so to speak, a double-ender, being provided with a supplementary head at the point where the feet are usually situated. The child is a female-and a very curious amendment to the Sixteenth Amendment, since, should it arrive at woman's estate, it will, of course, be entitled to a double vote. How will it be should one end go Republican and the other Democratic? To send a duplex woman into the world seems to be a very unnecessary freak of Nature, seeing that there is enough of duplicity in womankind already.
Homoeopathic Politics.
THE CITIZENS' ASSOCIATION, finding that their sands of life are nearly run out, are now advertising privately for some fresh candidates, who for a salary will undertake to cure the ring-worms of the body politic by their pimple prescription of substitution, or putting yourself in their place, which is a political modification of the law in homoeopathic medicine, similie similibus errantur, or in morals, "set a rogue to catch a rogue."

PUNCHINELLO, VOL. I, ENDING SEPT. 24, |
| THE NEW STORE OF LORD & TAYLOR, Cor. of Broadway & Twentieth Street, New York. This superb building will be devoted to retail purposes, |
where every description of dry-goods, from the necessary and convenient to the most elegant and fashionable, will attract a multitudinous throng, and add even a new attraction to the brilliancy of Broadway in the most delightful part of the thoroughfare. Besides an immense trade extending to all parts of the United States, LORD & TAYLOR deal largely in carpets and oil-cloths, in upholstery and house furnishing goods, and especially in trousseaux, cloaks, and ladies' furnishing goods of all kinds, in which, perhaps, their business is heavier than that of any other house in the city. The furnishing of hotels and steamboats is one of their specialties. The headquarters of their wholesale trade is at the old Broadway and Grand street store, while their stock of carpets and oil-cloths is mainly limited to the Grand and Chrystie street establishment. Since the organization of the firm, five partners have retired with fortunes, to make room for younger men, thus affording opportunities for others to profit by the experience and success of the house. These changes have also had the effect to maintain the original vigor of the firm without detaching from the maturity of judgment that has marked its operations. Some idea of the magnitude of the business of the house may be inferred from the fact that the pay-roll contains the names of more than 1,000 persons.
