From room to room, from height to height; It was such pleasant exercise, And gave me such an appetite! Yes! when the dinner-hour arrived, For me they never had to wait, I was the first to take my chair, And spread my ample napkin straight. And if they did not quickly come, After the dinner-bell had knoll’d, I just ran up my private stairs, To say the things were getting cold! But now, farewell, ye pantry steams, (The sweets of premiership to me), Ye gravies, relishes, and creams, Malmsey and Port, and Burgundy! Full well I mind the days gone by,— ‘Twas nought but sleep, and wake, and dine; Then John and Pal sang o’ their luck, And fondly sae sang I o’ mine! But now, how sad the scene, and changed! Johnny and Pal are glad nae mair! Oh! banks and braes o’ Buckingham! How can you bloom sae fresh and fair! CHELSEA. (From our own Correspondent.) This delightful watering-place is filling rapidly. The steam-boats bring down hundreds every day, and in the evening take them all back again. Mr. Jones has engaged a lodging for the week, and other families are spoken of. A ball is also talked about; but it is not yet settled who is to give it, nor where it is to be given. The promenading along the wooden pier is very general at the leaving of the packets, and on their arrival a great number of persons pass over it. There are whispers of a band being engaged for the season; but, as there will not be room on the pier for more than one musician, it has been suggested to negotiate with the talented artist who plays the drum with his knee, the cymbals with his elbow, the triangle with his shoulder, the bells with this head, and the Pan’s pipes with his mouth—thus uniting the powers of a full orchestra with the compactness of an individual. An immense number of Margate slippers and donkeys have been imported within the last few days, and there is every probability of this pretty little peninsula becoming a formidable rival to the old- established watering-places.
