AN ACROSTIC.
Source of joy, unbounded pleasure, Uniting circles when at leisure, Culling gems from Graphic’s page. Causing mirth for youth and age. Everywhere the cry’s the same : Superior art in pieture fame— Surely all approval claim. Tales of woe, and mirth, and joy ; Of sincere love (without alloy). Then of Fashion, Colour, Dress, Household words of loveliness ; E’en conundrums you may guess. Hever was there paper yet Ever stamped with inky jet Welcomed more—when Graphic’s met. Zealandia’s pride—lllustrates Every feature, faithful drawn ; And the thrilling tale relates Love’s adventures, ably shown ; And the few, select, (lite, Nymphs of fashion, so complete, Drawn in costumes, rare and neat. Cive me but the Graphic’s store— Rich in novel, picture lore— After which. I ask no more. Papers there may be—as good, Highly prized, least understood—- | admit; to me they’re stale Compared with notes by ‘ Dolly Vale.’ Addington. H. Clarke.
