Dumble said to Mumble: "Truly You 're self-satisfied unduly. Of things in college I 'm denied A knowledge--you of all outside." Borellu ILLUMINATI, n. A sect of Spanish heretics of the latter part of the sixteenth century; so called because they were light weights--cunctationes illuminati. ILLUSTRIOUS, adj. Suitably placed for the shafts of malice, envy, and detraction. IMAGINATION, n. A warehouse of facts, with poet and liar in joint ownership. IMBECILITY, n. A kind of divine inspiration, or sacred fire, affecting censorious critics of this dictionary. IMMIGRANT, n. An unenlightened person who thinks one country better than another. IMMODEST, adj. Having a strong sense of one's own merit, coupled with a feeble conception of worth in others. There'was once a man in Ispahan Ever and ever so long ago, And he had a head, the phrenologists said, That fitted him for a show. For his modesty's bump was so large a lump (Nature, they said, had taken a freak) That its summit stood far above the wood Of his hair, like a mountain peak. So modest a man in all Ispahan, Over and over again they swore-- So humble and meek, you would vainly seek; None ever was found before. Meantime the hump of that awful bump Into the heavens contrived to get To so great a height that they called the wight The man with a minaret. There was n't a man in all Ispahan Prouder, or louder in praise of his chump: With a tireless tongue and a brazen lung He bragged of that beautiful bump Till the Shah in a rage sent a trusty page Bearing a sack and a bow-string too, And that gentle child explained as he smiled: "A little present for you." The saddest man in all Ispahan, Sniffed at the gift, yet accepted the same. "If I'd lived," said he, "my humility Had given me deathless fame!" Sukker Uffro. IMMORAL, adj. Inexpedient. Whatever in the long run, and with regard to the greater number of instances men find to be generally inexpedient, comes to be considered wrong, wicked, immoral. If men's notions of right and wrong have any other basis than this of expediency; if they originated, or could have originated, in any other way; if actions have in themselves a moral character apart from, and nowise dependent on, their consequences--then all philosophy is a lie and reason a disorder of the mind. IMMORTALITY, n. A toy which people cry for, And on their knees apply for, Dispute, contend, and lie for, And if allowed Would be right proud Eternally to die for. G. J.
