A PERSON belonging to the Society for Passing Resolutions of

　　Respect for the Memory of Deceased Members having died received the

　　customary attention.

　　"Good Heavens!" exclaimed a Sovereign Elector, on hearing the

　　resolutions read, "what a loss to the nation! And to think that I

　　once voted against that angel for Inspector1 of Gate-latches in

　　Public Squares!"

　　In remorse2 the Sovereign Elector deprived himself of political

　　influence by learning to read.
