Deportmental ditties : and other verses . or wearing squeaky boots; * Was it not Elisha ?—Publishers Header. Elisha does not rhyme with anything on earth. Please use your intelligence.—H. G. 70 I act In your efforts to prevent a private scandal,Which a fashionable hostess might deplore,You should cough, and have some trouble with the handle, I lefore entering a door. Never mind, thou, how inelegant your tone is,Or how petty the proportions of your brain ; Cease to covet the physique of an Adonis,Or the modesty and culture of a Caine.

It is Tact that makes the needy cringe and grovel,And the rich behave like Eomans when in Rome; It is Tact that brings contentment to the hovel,It is Tact that carries peace into the home. It is Tact—but why this damd reiterationOf a simple and indisputable fact, Since my verse provides the needful illustration,As a masterpiece of Tact?.
