 VISITORS' GUIDE TO NATIONAL
 GALLERY.
 ENTERING Trafalgar-square from the left
hand side, ascend the steps of the National
Gallery. Present your arms to the soldiers
who guard the entrance, otherwise you will
find it difficult to pass them, they being
placed there to oppose entrance. On
advancing to the foot of the stairs you will
be asked to change your umbrella for an
ice or Bath-bun; scorn this offer and walk
up. It being the National Gallery, you will
be expected to sing the first part of the
National Anthem as a qualification for
admission. A severe coldis, however, taken
as an excuse. There is not much to be
seen, the best work of art being the dome,
which was translated and adapted from the
French of M. SCrIBe. Here CHARLES THE
SECown hid when flying from the cruelties
of his step-mother, who had already sentthe
GRAND LLAMA to the scaffold. The pictures
in the Gallery are curious, as all being
painted to order by Louis NAPOLEON, who
however hasbeen unable to pay the artists,
owing to the late financial crisis in France.
It is called the National Gallery because
the nation meets in its spacious halls once
a week to repeal the anniversary of
Magna Charta. There are swimming
matches held there every other week, in
aid of the Anti-Drainage Society, under the
patronage of the Wandering Tar and
ALDSn MAx MECnI.

 ODE TO A BARMAID
 SWEET NELLY hear me prithee dry
 That crystal drop that's in your eye,
 Which soon will down your cheek career,
 Mocking the drop that's in your ear;
 You cannot be my wife, your ma
 Says between us there is a bar.
 Smile in forgiving pity! ah maid!
 Gentler than baa-lamb, sweetest barmaid.
