Remunerated handsomely.

Two thousand pounds she offered, so
That he would only let her go;
BUNN, who would have his bond, said NO!
With dogged pertinacity.

And, now, his action let him bring, {310}
And try how much the law will wring
From her to do the handsome thing,
Who had proposed so readily!

The Swedish Nightingale to cage,
He failed; she sought a fitting stage,
And left him to digest his rage,
And seek his legal remedy.

Then shook the House, with plaudits riven,
When JENNY'S opening note was given,
The sweetest songstress under heaven

The _Liverpool Albion_, quoted in the _Times_ of 14 May, is responsible
for the following story: "Some time ago, the Duke of Buccleugh, in one of
his walks, purchased a cow from a person in the neighbourhood of
Dalkeith, and left orders to send it to his palace on the following
morning. According to agreement, the cow was sent, and the Duke, who
happened to be _en deshabille_, and walking in the avenue, espied a
little fellow ineffectually attempting to drive the animal to its
destination. The boy, not knowing the Duke, bawled out to him: 'Hi! mun,
come here an' gi'us a han' wi' this beast.' The Duke saw the mistake,
and determined to have a joke with the little fellow. Pretending,
