Then he thought he'd done a mighty clever thing,
Brave boys!
But the Whale gave a fhwisk! with his ta-a-a-ail,
And then vanished from his view,
_With the harpoon wot he threw_,
And WILL-I-AM nearly followed that Whale,
Brave boys!
Wos werry near to _following_ that Whale:
Then WILL-I-AM the Whaler looked dumfoozled,
Brave boys!
And _I_ sings out--a being within ha-a-a-il--
"I told you, noble Cap'en,
Exactly wot would happen!"
So--he didn't catch that Whale,
Brave boys!
_No--he never caught that Whale!_

"NAMES AND THEIR MEANING."--_A propos_ of some correspondence in the
_Morning Post_ under the above heading, we would ask, Why not make the
Second Chief Commissioner for the Behring Straits Difficulty, Mr. SEALE
HAYNE, M.P., with Lord SAY AND SELE to speak on the subject, and then sign
the official documents?

MRS. R. has heard much lately about the "Sandringham Stud" and the "St.
Andrews Links," both of which, she understands, are very large. She can't
make out how gentlemen prefer them to nice, neat little shirt-buttons!
