The Cit complains to all he meets,
That grass will grow in Dublin streets,
And swears that all is over!
Short-sighted mortals, can't you see,
Your mourning will be chang'd to glee--
For then you'll live in _clover_.

_Necessitas non habet legem._
ON SIR JOHN ANSTRUTHER.
_By the Honourable Thomas Erskine._
Necessity and Law are alike each other:
Necessity has no Law--nor has Anstruther.

EPITAPH ON A CONTROVERSIALIST.
On the death of that turbulent and refractory enthusiast, John Lilburne,
_alias Free-born John, alias Lilburne the Trouble-world_, there
appeared the following epigrammatic epitaph:--
Is John departed, and is Lilburne gone?
Farewell to both, to Lilburne and to John!
Yet being gone, take this advice from me,
Let them not _both_ in one grave buried be.
Here lay ye John; lay Lilburne thereabout,
For if they both should meet, they would fall out.
This alluded to a saying, that John Lilburne was so quarrelsome, that if
he were the only man in the world, John would quarrel with Lilburne, and
Lilburne with John. Lilburne, it will be remembered, was a sad thorn in
Cromwell's sore side, for which the protector amply repaid him.

HOSPITAL OF SURGERY.
A new surgical hospital is to be forthwith erected in the neighbourhood
of Charing Cross, where the King, with his usual and characteristic
munificence, has given a spot of ground on which it is to be erected. A
benevolent individual has given, within these few days, 1,500 l.
towards a fund for the building.
