"But not from us," the Tenants cried,
"The houses are so new,
They've made us all so very ill
We don't know what to do."
"The County Court," the Builder said,
"Is very near to you."
"I tell you what," the Builder said,
"I fear that I must seize
Your furniture, unless you pay;
So fork out, if you please."

"Oh, Tenants," said the Architect,
"Just think what I have done,
Designing such aesthetic homes!"
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd perished every one.

UNDER CONSIDERATION, AUGUST 21.
No appointment could be more appropriate and in accordance with
the fitness of things than to make a GARDNER the new Minister of
Agriculture. Of course it has been suggested that a Rural Dean should
succeed to the vacant Chaplincy.
