« rpwENTY-FIVE YEAES, Baid the faithful Punch to his loving Britannia. Is it so long ? replied the blue-eyed Britannia, smiling. You have made me so happy that I havescarcely felt the flight of time. But it is twenty-five years since you became my Guide, Philosopher, and Friend.High banquet was held, and the Eepresentative Men and Women of the nation came to honour the Festivalof the Fifty Volumes. When I think, said the Heir Apparent, how nobly you have supported the Throne. How, said the Primate, you have helped Beligion by correcting the follies of Priests. How, said the Chancellor, you have demolished Legal abuses until our system of Law is not nowso very far from rationality. How, said Lord Derby, you have taught an aristocracy that its truest strength is in cohesion withthe people. How, said Lord Eussell, you have thawed Whiggery until it has condescended to flow with thestream of time. And how, said Mr. Bright, you have instructed Eeformers that victory is theirs if they will
