The Duke--his aged grand-sire--bore The shame till he could bear no more.

He rallied his declining powers, Summoned the youth to Brackley Towers, And bitterly addressed him thus-- "Sir! you have disappointed us!

We had intended you to be The next Prime Minister but three: The stocks were sold; the Press was squared: The Middle Cla.s.s was quite prepared.

But as it is!... My language fails!

Go out and govern New South Wales!"

The Aged Patriot groaned and died: And gracious! how Lord Lundy cried!

REBECCA,

_Who slammed Doors for Fun and Perished Miserably._

A Trick that everyone abhors In Little Girls is slamming Doors.

Wealthy Banker's Little Daughter

[Ill.u.s.tration]

Who lived in Palace Green, Bayswater (By name Rebecca Offendort), Was given to this Furious Sport.

She would deliberately go
