The new style of oath is out. Mrs Marrowfat ordered her husbaud to peel the onions for dinner, before he left the house yesterday, and Mr Marrowfat bringing down his fist upon the table with much emphasis observed :—“ May Ibe cremated if I do! - ’ There is a city called Melbourne, say g the local Punch, and its open sewers run with liquid poison, because the people can not afford (or pretend they cannot) to con_ vey the filth under-ground to fsome distant pit, where it may be deodorised and converted into manure ; and yet they spend 1.50,000 per annum—equivalent to the interest of 5 per cent, upon a lean of a million sterling—in maintaining two sumptuous receptacles for five score of windbags. What fruit is the most visionary?— The apple of the eye.
