And young HORNER was summoned next day,
When the poor little lad
Lost the battle, and had
All the costs in addition to pay.
Now the Moral is this:
Little Master and Miss,
Whom I'm writing these verses to please;
If your tiny feet ache,
Then a 'bus you may take,
_But be sure it's an L.G.O.C.'s!_

A CURSORY OBSERVATION.
From the _Figaro_ for Dimanche, April 17, we make this extract:--
"SPORTS ATHLETIQUES.--Le match international de foot ball
entre le Stade Francais et le Rosslyn Park foot ball Club de
Londres sera joue demain sur le terrain du Cursing Club de
France a Levallois. L'equipe anglaise est arrivee a Paris hier
soir. Le match sera preside par le marquis de Dufferin."
"The Cursing Club!" What an awful name! For what purpose are they
banded together? Is it to curse one another by their gods? to issue
forth on _premieres_ to damn a new play? What fearful language would
be just audible, curses, not loud but deep, during the progress of
the Foot-ball Match over which the Marquis of DUFFERIN is to preside!
It is all over by now; but the result we have not seen.
