COMING BARONETCY TO BE MUSICALLY NOTED.--Song for a "Lullaby" or
a "Good Knight" from _Don Giovanni_, and dedicated by nobody's
permission to Sir ARTHUR SEYMOUR SULLIVAN, would be "_Barty! Barty!_"
Will Sir EDWARD SOLOMON be in it? Probably this is "another night."

LAYS OF MODERN HOME.
NO. V.--BUTLERLESS.
[Illustration: (Butler.)]
Oh! bring my Butler back to me;
I stray and lapse alone!
If this be freedom, to be free
Were something best unknown.
He used to look so grand and grave--
So sad when I was slack;
'Twas difficult to misbehave--
Oh, bring my Butler back!
In him was nothing flash nor green--
A Seneschal confessed;
Most people deemed his reverend mien
Some family bequest.
And yet but three short, happy years
Had seen him on our tack,
And made us verge on VERE DE VERES--
Oh, bring my Butler back!
A Pedigree in swallow-tails,
He gave our household "tone.
