And the sky unsullied blue, Singing birde about the eaves,
Clover bright with dew. Larches whispering in the woods,
Dappled green and brown, Sing the primroses to sleep- Who would live in Town i Twenty miles from London,
And a breeze like sparkling wine, Here a patch of yellow gorse,

This year, owing to the undiminishing number of misfort- unes with which mortal man has been regaled, certain people got it into their heads to circulate something better than paper sycco amongst the dead. They, conseguently, caused to be printed imitation Bank of China notes with the inscription "For Devile" over them. Some of these notes were produced in Court.
Upor inspecting one of the notes, Mr. Blackbura ventured the opinion that they were "ahead of civilization." They were, according to the Chinese characters on the back, intended for the beyond.
