Prison

Prison, n.  A place of punishments and rewards.  The poet assures us that--

"Stone walls do not a prison make,"

but a combination of the stone wall, the political parasite and the moral instructor is no garden of sweets.

MAIDEN, n.  A young person of the unfair sex addicted to eweless conduct and views that madden to crime.  The genus has a wide geographical distribution, being found wherever sought and deplored wherever found.  The maiden is not altogether unpleasing to the eye, nor (without her piano and her views) insupportable to the ear, though in respect to comeliness distinctly inferior to the rainbow, and, with regard to the part of her that is audible, beaten out of the field by the canary--which, also, is more portable.

A lovelorn maiden she sat and sang--

'This quaint, sweet song sang she:

"It's O for a youth with a football bang

And a muscle fair to see!

The Captain he 

Of a team to be!

On the gridiron he shall shine, 

A monarch by right divine, 

And never to roast on it--me!"

Opoline Jones.
