" You are old," said the youth, " as I mentioaed before. And have grown most uncommonly fat ; Yet you turned a back-soraersault in at the door — Pray, what is the reason of that ? "

"In my youth," said the sage, as he shook his grey locks, ■■ I kept all my limbs very supple By the use of this ointment — one shilling the box — Allow me to sell you a couple."

" You are old," said the youth, " and your jaws are too weak For anything tougher than suet; Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak- Pray, how did you manage to do it ? "

" In my youth," said his father, " I took to the law, And argued each case with my wife ; And the muscular strength which it gave to my jaw, Has lasted the rest of my Ufe."

" You are old," said the youth ; " one would hardly suppose That your eye was as steady as ever ; Yet you balance an eel on the end of your nose — What made you so awfully clever ? "

" I have answered three questions, and that is enough," Said his father; "don't give yourself airs! Do you think I can Usten all day to such stuff ? Be off, or I'll kick you down stairs 1"

' You can really have no notion how delightful it will be When they take us up and throw us, with the lobsters, out to sea ! " But the snail replied, " Too far, too far 1 " and gave a look askance — Said he thanked the whiting kindly, but he would not join the dance. Would not, could not, would not, could not, would not join the dance. Would not, could not, would not, could not, could not join the dance.

' What matters it how far we go ? " his scaly friend replied ; There is another shore, you know, upon the other side. The further off from England the nearer is to France — Then turn not pale, beloved snail, but come and join the dance. Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance ? Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, won't you join the dance ? "

He took his vorpal sword in hand:

Long time the manxome foe he sought —

So rested he by the Tum-tum tree, And stood awhile in thought.

One, two 1 One, two 1 And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack 1

He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back.

this was odd, be - cause it was

The moon was shining sulkily, Because she thought the sun Had got no bus'ness to be there After the day was done — " It's very rude of him," she said, " To come and spoil the fun 1 "

The sea was wet as wet could be. The sands were dry as dry.

You could not see a cloud, because No cloud was in the sky:

No birds were flying overhead — There were no birds to fly.

The Walrus and the Carpenter Were walking close at hand ;

They wept like anything to see Such quantities of sand : " If this were only cleared away," They said, "it would be grand I "

' If seven maids with seven mops

Swept it for half a year. Do you suppose," the Walrus said, " That they could get it clear? " I doubt it," said the Carpenter, \ And shed a bitter tear.

" O, Oysters, come and walk with us I "

The Walrus did beseech, " A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,

Along the briny beach : We cannot do with more than four.

To give a hand to each."

The eldest Oyster looked at him,

But never a word he said : The eldest Oyster winked his eye,

And shook his heavy head- Meaning to say he did not choose

To leave the oyster-bed.

But four young Oysters hurried up.

All eager for the treat : Their coats were brushed, their faces washed

Their shoes were clean and neat— And this was odd, because, you know.

They hadn't any feet I

Four other Oysters followed them.

And yet another four ; And thick and fast they came at last,

And more, and more, and more — All hopping through the frothy waves,

And scrambling to the shore.

The Walrus and the Carpenter

Walked on a mile or so, And then they rested on a rock

Conveniently low ; And all the little Oysters stood

And waited in a row.

' The time has come," the Walrus said,

" To talk of many things : Of shoes — and ships — and sealing-wax —

Of cabbages — and kings — And why the sea is boiling hot —

And whether pigs have wings."

' But wait a bit," the Oysters cried,

" Before we have our chat ; For some of us are out of breath.

And all of us are fat 1 " ' No hurry," said the Carpenter :

They thanked him much for that.

' ."^ loaf of bread," the Walrus said, "Is chiefly what we need : Pepper and vinegar, besides,

Are very good indeed — Now, if you're ready, Oysters dear. We can begin to feed."

" But not on us ! " the Oysters cried,

Turning a Uttle blue. " After such kindness, that would be

A dismal thing to do ! " "The night is fine," the Walrus said.

" Do you admire the view ? "

" It was so kind of you to come 1 And you are very nice 1 " The Carpenter said nothing, but

" Cut us another sUce: I wish you were not quite so deaf — I've had to ask you twice 1 "

" It seems a shame," the Walrus said, " To play them such a trick, After we've brought them out so far.

And made them trot so quick 1 " The Carpenter said nothing, but " The butter's spread too thick ! "

" I weep for you," the Walrus said : " I deeply sympathize," With sobs and tears he sorted out

Those of the largest size, Holding his pocket-handkerchief Before his streaming eyes.

" Oh, Oysters," said the Carpenter, " You've had a pleasant run I Shall we be trotting home again ? "

But answer came there none — And this was scarcely odd, because They'd eaten every one.

The Message to the

u^

iCOXTINUBD.)

I sent a message to the fish:

I told them " This is what I wish."

The little fishes of the sea They sent an answer back to me.

The little fishes' answer was " We cannot do it, sir, because — "

I sent to them again to say " It will be better to obey."

The fishes answered, with a grin, " Why, what a temper you are in ! "

I told them once, I told them twice : They would not Usten to advice.

I took a kettle large and new, Fit for the deed I had to do.

My heart went hop, my heart went thump; I filled the kettle at the pump.

Then some one came to me, and said, ' The little fishes are in bed."

I said to him, I said it plain, ' Then you must wake them up again."

I said it very loud and clear ; 1 went and shouted in his ear.

But he was very stiff and proud ; He Faid, " You needn't shout so loud !

And he was very proud and stiff;

He said, " I'd go and wake them, if — "

I took a corkscrew from the shelf : I went to wake them up myself.

And when I found the door was locked,

I pulled and pushed, and kicked and knocked.

And when I found the door was shut, I tried to turn the handle, but —

That sleep among the wheat : I make them into mutton pies.

And sell them in the street. I sell them unto men," he said,

'• Who sail on stormy seas ; And that 's the way I get my bread —

A trifle, if you please."

But I was thinking of a plan

To dye one's whiskers green, And always use so large a fan

That they should not be seen. So, having no reply to give

To what the old man said, I cried, " Come, tell me how you live !

And thumped him on the head.

His accents mild took up the tale :

He said " I go my ways, And when I find a mountain rill,

I set it in a blaze ; And thence they make a stuff they call

Rowlands' Macassar Oil — Yet two-pence-halfpenny is all

They give me for my toil ! "

But I was thinking of a way

To feed oneself on batter. And so go on from day to day

Getting a little fatter. I shook him well from side to side.

Until his face was blue : ' Come, tell me how you live," I cried,

" And what it is you do I "

Cuntinueii on next pa«e.

He said, " I hunt for haddocks' eyes

Among the heather bright, And work them into waistcoat-buttons

In the silent night. And these I do not sell for gold

Or coin of silv'rj' shine. But for a copper halfpenny.

And that will purchase nine."

' I sometimes dig for buttered rolls,

Or set limed twigs for crabs ; I sometimes search the grassy knolls

For wheels of Hansom-cabs 1 And that 's the way " (he gave a wink)

" By which I get my wealth — And very gladly will I drink

Vour honour's noble health."

I heard him then, for I had just

Completed my design To keep the Menai bridge from rust

By boiling it in wine. I thanked him much for telling me

The way he got his wealth. But chiefly for his wish that he

Might drink my noble health.

Then fill up the glasses as quick as you can, And sprinkle the table with buttons and bran : Put cats in the coffee, and mice in the tea — And welcome Queen Alice with thirty-times-three!

Oh, Looking-Glass creatures," quoth Alice, "draw nearl

'Tis an honour to see me, a favour to hear :

'Tis a privilege high to have dinner and tea

Along with the Red Queen, the White Queen, and me!"

Then fill up the glasses with treacle and ink, Or anything else that is pleasant to drink ; Mix sand with the cider, and wool with the wine^ And welcome Queen Alice with ninety-times-nine !
