Then if you're one of the happy few, when that shrill 



" whoo hoop " resounds 

 On the wintry breeze, what's a coldish bath if a 



means to get to hounds ? 

 Have a hot tub when home is reach'd, and you'll 



feel no effects of the cold, 

 And a *' night-cap" take of water hot, combin'd with 



whiskey old. 



A FALL. 



H ! that fatal ridge and furrow, then you felt 

 ^>K| his steps were out 



As he near'd that strong laid rasper, fall 

 you must without a doubt ; 

 Anxious seconds these, my brother, for collect him as 



you may, 

 You and I, who've seen disaster, know '^ a crump- 

 ler's " ours to-da}'. 



Writers to the papers — theorists — may lay down 



some golden plan 

 To escape an awful '' buster," but we know none 



always can ; 

 As he crashes the top binder, which, half yielding, 



holds you still, 

 You experience the preface to a most almighty spill.
