"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 103, August 20, 1892"

corpp, and we must bear with him a little."
That's all very well; but they haven't done with JOSEPH yet. There may
come times of distress and famine when he will be heard of from Egypt.
_Business done_.--The Government's. Wound up by a majority of 40 in

OVIDIUS REMARK.
[Illustration: ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
Ovid quite at Tomi. Tomi not quite at Tomi at Ovid.]
(_From a confirmed Tea-Drinker, who, suffering from Gout, has
been forbidden his favourite beverage_.)
DEAR TOPER,--Alas, no more of "The generous" for some time to come,
and, what afflicts me most is, I am cut off from my Tea! "What, no
soap! So he died." Substitute "Tea" for "Soap," and there I am. My boy
TOMMY, who is at home for the holidays, reminds me of what OVID said
at Tomi, not _to_ TOMMY, as they were not contemporaries, "_Nec tecum
vivere possum, nec sine te_." For "_te_" read "tea," and that's my
case to a T.
