THE RIGHT SORT.

Young C!<ra/f.— Sinful to Hunt? Oh dear no ! I do not hunt now, because certain Members of my Flock might take excep-
tion TO it, and think I NEGLECTED MY PARISH.

Miss Gallopade. — Bur, suppose the Hounds were to cross this Lane "Full Cry,"' could you withstand the Temptation?
Young C— Well, I'm afraid then my conscience would not be the most For.midable Obstacle I should have to negotiate.

Second Z>itto.—\VH\T Vintage are you?
First Ditto.— I WAS "Shipped" in Eighteen-fifteen.

The HonouraHe Joe. — Well, Jack, it's all over now. What shall you do with yourself until the Cub-Hunting comes in? I'm

GOING to get married, YOU KNOW, AND I SHALL TRAVEL WITH MY WiFE.

Trooper Stubbles, as he appeared in the March Past before the Reviewing Officer.
On his return home he described the exciting scene as follows : — " Th' wor th' TROOP fust, a-galloping LIKE mad; th' hould Mare second,

A-KICKING LIKE BLAZES ; AND THEN Ol A-RUNNING AN' A-HOLLERING HOOT FOR SOME UN TO KETCH 'eR ; BUI' THEY ONLY CALLED HOOT, 'GO

THROWS HIS TEET ABOUT SO.

Mr. //iiffi:ins {a (ieai.r in "Screws").— Bav Hackshon} Throws his Feet about? / call it Bke-utifui. Hackshon. He goes as if—
