Goose.—­Same as above, with allusions to the “sage;” two or three that stick in the gizzard; and a beautiful work up with a “long liver.”

Ducks.—­Very military:  bring in drill; drumsticks; breastwork; and pair of ducks for light clothing and summer wear.

Snipes.—­Good for lawyers; long bill.  Gallantry; “Toast be dear Woman.”  Mercantile; run on banks.  And infants; living on suction.

Herring.—­Capital for bride:  her-ring; petticoats, flannel and otherwise, herring-boned.  Fat people; bloaters; &c. &c. &c.

Venison.—­Superior, for offering everybody some of your sauce.  Sad subject, as it ought to be looked upon with a grave eye (gravy).  Wish your friends might always give you such a cut. &c. &c. &c.

Port.—­Like well-baked bread, best when crusty; flies out of glass because of the “bee’s wing.”  Always happy to become a porter on such occasions; object to general breakages, but partial to the cracking of a bottle; comes from a good “cellar” and a good buyer, though no wish to be a good-bye-er to it.  All the above with beautiful leading cues, and really with two or three rehearsals the very best things ever done.

Sherry.—­“Do you sherry?” “Not just yet.”  “Rather unlucky, white whining:  like a bottle of port; but no objection to share he.  Hope never to be out of the Pale of do.; if so, will submit to be done Brown.”

N.B.—­After an election dinner, any of the above valued at a six weeks’ invitation from any voter under the influence of his third bottle; and absolute reversion of the chair, when original chairman disappears under table.

Champagne.—­Real pleasure (quite new—­never thought of before)—­must be Wright’s; nothing left about it; intoxicating portion of a bird, getting drunk with pheasant’s eye.  What gender’s wine? Why hen’s feminine.  Safe three rounds; and some others not quite compact.

Hock.—­Hic, hec, do.

Hugeous.—­Glass by all means (very new); never could decline it, &c. &c. &c.

Dessert.—­Wish every one had it; join hands with ladies’ fingers and bishops’ thumbs:  Prince Albert and Queen very choice “Windsor pairs;” medlars; unpleasant neighbour:  nuts; decidedly lunatic, sure to be cracked; disbanding Field Officers shelling out the kernels, &c. &c. &c.

The above are but a few samples from the very extensive joke manufactory of Messrs. Gammon and Gag, sole patentees of the powerful and prolific steam-joke double-action press.  They are all warranted of the very best quality, and last date.

Old jokes taken in exchange—­of course allowing a liberal per-centage.

Gentlemen’s own materials made up in the most superior style, and at the very shortest notice.

Election squibs going off—­a decided sacrifice of splendid talent.
