Beware! Beware!
Resist him not,
Who'd be ruling thee!

Keep warm indoors, take lots of rest.
_Take care_!
That of all counsels is _the_ best.
Beware! Beware!
_Out_? Cert'nly _not_!
For two weeks--or _three_!

[_Left fuming._

"ON THE SLY."--The name of Mr. J.E. SLY was mentioned in the _World_
last week as a candidate for the office of High Bailiff of the City
of London Court. Quite a Shakspearian name is _Sly_. "Look in the
Chronicles," quoth _Christopher_ of that ilk, "We came in with RICHARD
Conqueror." We drink success to him in "a pot of the smallest ale" and
"Let the _World_ slip,"--whether it did slip or not, the event will
prove,--"We shall ne'er be younger."

"CHARLES, HIS FRIENDS."--The Gentlemen who sought to adorn King
CHARLES's statue with wreaths on the 30th January, are not to be
beheaded. Like the White Rose League, their Jacobark is worse than
their Jacobite.
