_Chorus_.--Oh, hush! hush! hush!
Here comes the Bogie Man!
Turtle, be cautious; Griffin, hide!
You're under his black ban.
Oh, whist! whist! whist!
"We'll save ye, _if we can_,
My pretty popsey-wopsey-wops,
From yon bad Bogie Man!

TO QUEEN COAL.
(_BY HER FOND BUT POOR LOVER._)
"If thou art not dear to _me_,
What care I how dear you be!"

BUTTER AND BOSH.
["Many customers who want Margarine will not consent to
buy it under that name, but insist on its being called
'Butter.'"--_Daily Paper_.]
Oh, Wisdom, surely here your words you waste
On men who consciously deceive their taste;
Who cheating self are blindest when they've seen,
And call that Butter which is Margarine.
"Give me," 'tis thus their sentiments they utter,
"Firkins of Bosh, but label them as Butter.
Who cares for honest names? they're all my eye.
_Decipiatur qui vult decipi_."

"HUSH! HUSH! HUSH!
HERE COMES THE BOGIE MAN!
"THEN HIDE YOUR HEADS, MY DARLINGS;
HE'LL CATCH YOU IF HE CAN!"

"ON THE BLAZON'D SCROLL OF FAME."
[To each man of the Crews of the three Life-boats stationed
in the Isle of Wight, at Brighstone, Brook and Atherfield,
respectively, _Mr. Punch_ has had pleasure and pride in
presenting an illuminated copy of the Picture and Poem
entitled "MR. PUNCH TO THE LIFE-BOAT MEN," which appeared in
his issue of February 13. The names of the coxswains and crews
of these three boats, the _Worcester Cadet_, the _William
Slaney Lewis_, and the _Catherine Swift_, are inscribed
thereon (as they should be in the memories of all true
Britons), as follows:--Of the _Worcester Cadet_, JAMES COTTON
(Coxswain), ROBERT BUCKETT (Second Coxswain), ROBERT SALTER,
WILLIAM BARTON, FRANK EDMUNDS, FRANK BUCKETT, GEORGE NEW,
GEORGE MORRIS, GEORGE SHOTTER, GEORGE HAWKER, EDGAR WHITE,
WILLIAM MERWOOD, and JAMES HEDGECOCK.
Of the _William Slaney Lewis_, JOHN HAYTER (Coxswain), BEN
JACOBS (Second Coxswain), ROBERT COOPER, W. JACOBS, J. COOKE,
G. WHITE, W. CASSELL, T. HOOKEY, J. NEWBURY, J. COOPER, J.
HOOKEY, R. WOODFORD, M. CASSELL, WILLIAM HAYTER, W. BLAKE, and
W. HOOKEY.
Of the _Catherine Swift_, WILLIAM COTTON (Coxswain), DAVID
COTTON (Second Coxswain), JAMES COTTON, THOMAS COTTON, FRANK
COTTON, JOHN COTTON, CHARLES COTTON, WALTER WOODFORD, WALTER
WHITE, CHARLES HARDING, and B. WHILLIER.
These names thus receive--as they deserve--honourable record
"For distinguished bravery and gallant conduct whilst on duty
on the occasion of the wreck of the s.s. _Eider_, January 31,
1892."]
