No more serene,

With nitro-glycerine
I'll speed my flight,
Or else I will ignite
Some Magazine--
Some _Powder_ Magazine,

AN AUNT AT WILL.

[A lawsuit has been occasioned in India through white ants
devouring a will.]

India it seems that matters also go by contraries, when compared with
their mode of procedure at home. A lawsuit has been occasioned in
Calcutta through white ants devouring a will. In England our Aunts
(who are generally whites) make wills (bless them!) and _we_ devour
them, or at least live on the proceeds.
