The Pearl/Volume 6/MISS COOTE'S CONFESSION, OR THE VOLUPTUOUS EXPERIENCES OF AN OLD MAID.

In a series of Letters to a Lady Friend.

LETTER VI

My Dear Nellie,

During my late tour in Italy and Germany I often amused myself with making notes for further letters to you on my return to England, collecting all the incidents I could think of or remember as likely to interest you, and now I am at home once more I will amuse myself on dull evenings by writing you another series of letters. Well, then, to begin.

When I left school my guardians entrusted me to the care of Mdlle. Fosse, and we were soon settled in a house of my own in the western suburbs of London. My establishment consisted of ourselves, Jane, my grandfather's late servant (who acted as our lady's-maid), a cook called Margaret, and two housemaids, Mary and Polly, besides a nice young page, a brother of Jane's, who was called Charlie.

My guardians thought that until I was of age we could dispense with a footman or coachman, and hire from time to time such carriages as we might require to visit our friends, or go shopping, or to the theatres, and my allowance was limited to £1000 a year, out of which Mademoiselle had a liberal salary of £200, which I never begrudged in the least; she was such a dear, loving soul, and always did all she could to further my amusements and keep me out of serious mischief.

Myself and Mademoiselle occupied separate bedrooms communicating with each other, so that we could, if we wished, enjoy each other's society by night as well as day. The cook and Mary occupied a room at the top of the house, whilst the page had a little cell of a room to himself on the same corridor as our bedrooms, and Jane and Polly (we were obliged to call her so, to distinguish her from the other Mary), were also in a room on the same flight, which also contained a couple of spare rooms for visitors. On the top floor there were several spare rooms, one of which was very large, and after consultation with Mademoiselle I determined to fit it up as a punishment chamber, and maintain strict discipline in my family. I had hooks fixed in the ceiling, and also provided a complete paraphernalia of ropes, blocks, and pulleys, a whipping post and ladder, also a kind of stocks in which to fix a body so as only to expose the legs and bottom behind, and prevent the victim from seeing who was punishing her.

Mademoiselle and myself frequently indulged in our "Soirees Lubriques," as she called them, and for an occasional extra excitement, we got Jane, and either birched her in our bedrooms, or got her to assist us in birching one another, for I was now thoroughly given to the pleasures of the rod and the excitement to be raised by its application. These little bits of fun, as we called them, were wanting in that piquancy so appreciable when the victim is a thorough stranger to the birch, and feels its tickling effects for the first time. This made us particularly on the look-out for some culprit whom we might immolate to our prurient desires.

Our gardener was a steady man, rather over forty, and his wife, a very pretty woman of about thirty. They had two nice little girls of nine and ten years old, and lived in a small cottage at the back entrance of our garden, which was pretty large.

Mrs. White, the gardener's wife, was very fond of finery, and her husband's wages not being sufficient to satisfy her cravings in that respect, she hit upon the ingenious plan of supplying some of our neighbours (who were not so well off for garden produce as we were) with some of the fruit and vegetables which otherwise would have been wasted, and as she thought might as well be sold for her own profit. The father did not see much harm in it, as he afterwards said, Miss Coote was so good and generous, and did not seem to mind what they took for themselves.

The two little girls, Minnie and Lucy, were employed by their parents to carry things out at the back gate, but they happened to be seen by Jane early one morning, and duly reported to me.

I had long an unaccountable wish to birch these little dears, but could think of no excuse how to bring it about, so that Jane's report was most welcome.

In company with Mademoiselle, early in the morning, we repaired by a roundabout way to the back entrance of my garden, and placed ourselves so as to see exactly what was going on, and were soon rewarded for our trouble by seeing the little girls carry several baskets of fruits into their mother's cottage.

Having satisfied ourselves as to the facts of the case, I returned to the house, and ordered the gardener and all his family to be summoned to my presence.

In company with Mademoiselle, I received them in the drawing-room. White and his wife, leading in the little girls by the hand, and with a respectful obeisance, enquired the reason of my sending for them.

Miss Coote. - "Your pretended innocence is well assumed. How is it, White, that your children carry away fruit from the garden as they do every morning?"

White, stammering in great confusion. - "They only have a little for ourselves, Miss."

Miss Coote. - "You're only adding falsehood to theft. White, your wife does not get all her finery out of your wages."

White. - "Oh! Sally! (To his wife:) Pray speak. I don't know anything about it."

Mrs. White (scarlet with shame, and bursting into tears). - "Oh! Oh! It's all my fault. William don't know I ever sold anything, and the dear children are innocent. Oh! Pray forgive me, Miss Coote."

Miss Coote (sternly). - "He must know. He's as bad as, you, and you're bringing up those little girls to be thieves."

White and his wife and children all went on their knees, imploring me for mercy, and protesting that very little had been sold.

Miss Coote. - "Nonsense! You make me think you even worse, because I know it has been going on for some time. Now make your choice. Shall I punish you severely myself, or have you taken before a magistrate? You know they will hang both of you."

White and his wife both implore for mercy, and beg me to punish them any way I may think best. "Only, only, pray Miss Coote, spare the dear little things, they only did what we told them."

Miss Coote. - "You are wise to leave it to me. I may have some mercy; the law has none for poor wretched thieves. I don't know how to punish you, White, as you are a man, so I will forgive you, and hope you will be honest in the future; but Mrs. White and the children must be properly whipped and corrected. They must attend me here, dressed in their Sunday clothes, at seven o'clock this evening. Now you understand. Go home till then. I will cure them of thieving, or my name's not Rosa Coote."

Poor White and his wife are covered with confusion and retire for the present, whilst I congratulate Mdlle. Fosse on our good fortune in securing such victims.

Seven o'clock, and I am ready in the punishment chamber to receive the culprits. They enter with a very dejected appearance, although dressed smartly in the highest style of rustic fashion with their bouquets.

Miss Coote. - "I am glad, for your sake, Mrs. White, you have left me to punish you, as I hope after this you will be thoroughly trustworthy. Mademoiselle Fosse, will you assist Jane in preparing Minnie for the birch? Stop! Tie Mrs. White to the ladder, or her motherly feelings may cause her to interfere, then get Lucy ready also. If they haven't got drawers on, we must find a pair for each of them."

Mrs. White (with tears in her eyes). - "Oh! Oh! Miss Coote, my dear young lady, don't be too hard on the children. Cut me to pieces rather."

She is soon tied by her wrists to the ladder, but left as she is, in all her clothes, for the present. Then they strip little Minnie and Lucy, and expose their pretty plump figures to our gaze. Mademoiselle takes Lucy on her knee, and I have the youngest, Minnie, only nine years old. The little creatures are all blushes, and quite crimson with shame as we turn them on our laps bottom upwards. They are evidently quite unused to inspection by strange ladies.

Miss Coote (to Minnie). - "How you do blush, my dear; are you afraid I shall hurt you so much? What a lovely little bottom, does your mother often slap it?" giving two or three fair spanks, which very much improve the lovely colour of the firm flesh, and makes the little thing twist about beautifully, as she feels the smart.

Minnie. - "Oh! Oh! Pray don't! How you hurt! I can't bear it, Miss Coote," beginning to cry, and the pearly tears dropping on my lap.

Mademoiselle. - " So you little girls sold the fruit for your mother; did you, Lucy?"

Lucy. - "Father gave it to us to carry home."

Mademoiselle. - "The old story of Adam and Eve. One tempted the other. So it was all father; mother quite innocent, eh?"

Miss Coote. - "I think I can make Minnie tell us a different tale to that, Mdlle. Fosse. They are little story-tellers as well as thieves," giving Minnie a good slap with her open hand. "Just try my plan, Mademoiselle."

Minnie shrieks and kicks about in pain as Miss Coote slaps away, and Mademoiselle does the same by Lucy, till both their bottoms are as rosy as peaches. Both little girls screaming loudly for mercy; laying the blame first on father, and then mother, as they find it is no use to deny it.

"Now, Jane," says Miss Coote, "hand us a couple of light birches. We must thoroughly cure them before they are let off." Then taking hold of the birch, she directs Jane to tie both little victims to the whipping post, and puts a tight pair of drawers on each to hide their blushing rumps.

Jane ties them up, side by side, by their wrists, the arms well stretched above their heads, and their toes only just reaching the floor. Then she produces two little pairs of very thin lawn drawers almost as delicate as muslin, so that the rosy flesh was slightly perceptible through the material. They were, if anything, rather too small, and fitted quite tightly (the youthful bottoms are so finely developed, considering the age of their owners) and leave a space of nearly six inches wide behind, where they gave a delightfully seductive view of the pink roseate flesh and the cracks of the anus; altogether their shamefaced confusion and distress, as they gracefully lift their little legs, one by one, into the drawers, and go through all three positions Jane manages to put them in, as she fastidiously arranges them for sacrifice, was a most delightful sight to me, gloating as I was in the anticipation of the pleasure the whipping would be sure to afford.

Miss Coote. - "Now, Mademoiselle, will you assist me in the whipping? I will do all the talking."

The mother here is so distressed at the sight of her children tied up for whipping that she tries to fall on her knees, but soon remembers herself, when her hands being tied up prevent her intention. "Oh! Oh! Miss Coote, do have mercy on my little girls," she sobs. "To think I should bring this on them. Oh! Oh!" trying to wring her hands.

Miss Coote. - "Hold your foolish noise, woman. I'm just going to begin. How do you like it, Minnie? How is it, Lucy?" beginning to switch them finely, soon making a lot of thin red marks all over their backs and bottoms. "Will you ever take my fruit again, you little hussies? Warm their bottoms well for them, Mademoiselle. Take the thieving impudence out of their posteriors."

The victims shriek in a series of shrill screams, their faces are scarlet, and the tears roll in a little stream down their pretty pitiful faces, and they beg and pray to be let off. "Oh! Oh! we will be good, &c."

Miss Coote and her friend are delighted; the sight is so stimulating, their blood rushes through their veins and raises their voluptuous feelings of sensuality to the highest pitch, the cries of pain are so much music to their ears, and they cut the little bottoms dreadfully till the blood starts from the weals; the poor agonized mother is another spirit, which only adds to their enjoyment, as although only a spectator she seems to feel every blow, and cries and sobs as if her heart would break.

Mademoiselle. - "Look at the silly woman, you'll have something to cry for presently, Mrs. White."

The thin drawers are cut up, and torn into rags, the birches almost worn out, and the two flagellatrices would never have stopped, but Jane interposes, for little Minnie has fainted, and Lucy seems likely to go off too.

They untie them, and with a little water and pungent smelling salts soon revive the little one, then both mother and children are refreshed by some champagne, slightly dashed with a most stimulating liqueur.

Mrs. White, who had also been released, nurses her children on her lap. Caressing and kissing them, crying and hysterically sobbing over their sore bottoms. "Poor little dears; oh! Miss Coote, you have been cruel to the innocent things,"

Miss Coote. - "How dare you say innocent things when you taught them to steal. I'll make you confess your guilt, you bad woman."

Mrs. White, all of a tremble. - "Oh! My heart bleeds for their poor rumps, I can't help what I say."

Miss Coote. - "Take them away, and let Mary see to their bruises, then come back and help us to cheer up the mother a little; she's dreadfully depressed, poor thing," laughing ironically at Mrs. White.

Jane soon returns, and begins to prepare the mother for her punishment.

Miss Coote. - "Stretch her properly on the ladder; she's the worst of the lot, first tempting her husband, and then making the children help to steal."

Mrs. White. - "Oh! I didn't think you cared about the garden-stuff, it would have been spoilt."

Miss Coote. - "Then why didn't your husband ask me what to do with it? Did you not use the money to buy ribbons and dresses?"

The poor woman groans for very shame, and has nothing to say for herself. Jane and Mademoiselle pull off her bright blue dress, and expose a fine pair of white shoulders, showing that her blushes have extended all down her neck, which slightly flushed as they uncover it. She is a fine woman with reddish brown hair and hazel eyes, fine plump arms, and hands which do not look as if they worked too hard at home, her underclothing, skirts, and petticoats, although not of the finest material, are beautifully white and tastefully trimmed with cheap lace; they soon remove everything, and find her quite sans culottes like the little girls; the poor woman blushes scarlet at the exposure of all her luscious-looking charms, her splendid prominent mount being covered with a profusion of long, curly hair, similar to what she has on her head.

Miss Coote. - "My gracious, Mrs. White, how could you come here for a whipping and have nothing on to cover your modesty; it's shockingly indelicate; what can we do?"

Mademoiselle. - "I guessed what would happen; look here, Miss Coote, I amused myself before dinner, and have made her an apron of real fresh vine leaves; how pretty they will look on her, and set off the pink flesh."

The poor woman fairly sobs with shame at our remarks, and laughing jokes about what a fine set of rumpsteaks she has got, and how nicely they will be grilled for her. They adjust the apron of vine leaves very tastefully about her loins, and then present her to me, to kiss the rod, a fine heavy bunch of long, green fresh birchen twigs, tastefully ornamented with gaily coloured ribbons. She is made to kneel, and giving the required kiss, stammer out as whispered in her ear by Jane. "Oh! Oh! My dear young lady - Miss Coote - do - whip me - soundly - for I have been a wicked - dishonest woman. Oh! Oh! forgive me, don't be too hard," she exclaims, forgetting the orders and in a tremble of anticipation, the tears coursing down her scarlet cheeks, as she gets upon her feet; and they lay her at full length along the ladder, which is at a great angle, both arms and feet stretched out as far as possible, and tied tightly so she can scarcely move her bottom, or wriggle in the least.

All being in readiness:-

Miss Coote. - "You have only half confessed your guilt, but your bottom well warmed will bring you to a full sense of it," as she waves the tremendous rod about and makes it fairly hiss through the air, keeping the victim in agitated expectation for several seconds, when - whack - whack - whack.

Three resounding blows sound through the room, the victim's bottom immediately shows the result of a confused appearance of long red marks and weals, whilst the green leaves are flying in all directions.

Mrs. White, screaming in dreadful pain. - "Ah! Oh! Ah-r-r-re! I can't bear it! Oh! Oh! Spare me, have mercy!" The muscles of her back and loins showing by their contortions the agonizing sensations caused by the cuts in her distended and distressing position.

Miss Coote. - "How she screams! Where's your courage? why the little girls bore it better than you do; scream away, it will keep you from thinking too much of the pain, I'm only just beginning and have not got warm to my work yet," going on whack - whack - swish - swish, all the while.

Victim. - "Oh! Oh! Frightful! Oh! you'll kill me! do have mercy now."

Miss Coote. - "You bad woman, will you be a thief again? will you bring your little ones up to be honest in future? what do you think of a good birching, does it make your posteriors feel warm?" cutting blow after blow, with great force and deliberation; the poor woman is in most excruciating pain, and sobs and moans in her distress.

Victim, hysterically. - "Oh! Oh! I know I deserve it. Oh! I will never do it again. Oh! Ah-r-re, how terrible, I feel like being burnt with hot irons!" The blood flows freely from the often bruised weals, and the operator varies her blows so as to inflict the greatest possible torture on the poor woman by cutting her round the loins, making long weals over the lower part of her belly, and stinging the front dreadfully, then across the tender thighs, making the tips of the birch go well in between her legs, causing intense agony.

The fig leaves are all cut off and scattered, making the stems which have been interlaced look like an exploded fire-work as they still hang about her lacerated loins and buttocks; Miss Coote works herself up into a perfect fury of excitement, and cuts away regardless of the victim's apparent exhaustion, upbraiding her continually and making her promise to take her children to church regularly every Sunday in future, and pay particular attention to the seventh commandment, "Thou shalt not steal."

Mrs. White is almost too far gone to hear half of this objurgation, but slightly moans, "Oh! my God, I shall faint. Let me die in mercy. Thou shalt not steal. My God how I am punished," and fairly swoons under the rod, to the great pleasure of Jane and Mademoiselle, who have exquisitely enjoyed the scene.

The victim is released, when the marks on her wrists and ankles almost cut into the flesh by the tightly tied cords fully attest what she must have suffered from her fearfully stretched position, whilst her bottom and thighs and loins are a perfect pickle of weals and bleeding cuts; the drops of blood quite clotted the beautiful hair on her mount and round the red lips of her "Venus' wrinkle."

Jane and Mary and Polly sponge and relieve the poor woman's soreness, as well as they can, and revive her by plenty of cold water and fresh air, &c, and send her home refreshed by a little more champagne.

Next day, as I was walking the garden with my dear Mademoiselle, we asked White how his wife felt after her whipping, and being a blunt illiterate man he gave us young ladies rather an indelicate answer as follows:-

"I'm darned, Miss, I never had such a night before; I was abed and asleep before she got home with the children, but she was so hot she left them to shift for themselves, and mounted me as you often see the cow do to the bull when she wants him to do his duty; she didn't care how tired I was with my day's work, she was off and on all night. I can't understand her being so on heat, for we always leave that to quiet days like Sundays, but she said it was delightful. Darn me, though, if I liked it quite so much. We shall be having twins, or three or four at once after such a tarnation game as that."

I will send another letter soon, but one thing you must excuse in my rough composition; that is my so often speaking of myself in the third person, which makes it easier to tell my tale.

Yours affectionately. ROSA BELINDA COOTE.

The Pearl/Volume 6/THE BUDDING ROSE.

(These lines were written to amuse a girl of fifteen. They delighted her mother.) Wonderful are Cupid's arts! He, the god of soft persuasion, At his pleasure stirs our hearts. To flames of eager passion.

Long I've loved thee, darling Sarah. Gradually more ripe and blooming; Daily, hourly, plumper, fairer, In the swelling charms of woman.

Sarah, when I saw you first. In the church, at sister's side; Oh my heart, with ardour burst! Could I call thee once my bride!

But your father is my foe, Hating me, so long his friend; Could he once my passion know, In thy misery it might end.

But a bonnet and a fan Are slight tokens of my passion; Such a girl for such a man Is a fatal strong temptation.

Happy bonnet! that can cover, Such a darling, maiden-head; Happy fan! - a vigorous lover Should be in your hand instead!

Yesterday you were a child, Now a blooming blushing virgin; Female passions warm and wild Are to actual pleasure urging.

Mr. B- was very cruel, "Virtue was at last rewarded," He obtained the mossy jewel. Pamela so long had guarded.

Fancy them in bed (and lying, She beneath, and he above; Kissing, cuddling, fainting, dying, In the ecstasies of love!)

Though he is a horrid sinner, Pamela forgives the crime, In again! again he's in her! Drinking pleasures quite divine!

See! his amorous lips and hands Fondle all her naked part; And his upright vigour stands, In her open ravished heart.

Shirt and shift are off together, Naked is the sweet embrace; Not one part's concealed by either, All's as naked as your face.

Even her modest brother Joseph, Joseph Andrews with his Fanny; When they once had got their clothes off, Had as little shame as any.

Such, dear Sarah, was the pleasure, Pamela at last enjoyed; Take them in their fullest measure, Kissing never, never cloyed.

Oh, if I could once behold you, Lying (naked on my bed); In my arms I would enfold you, I would (take your maidenhead!)

Sarah, live to love and pleasure, Careless what the grave may say; When each moment is a treasure, Why should lovers waste a day?

Setting suns may rise in glory, But, when little life is o'er, There's an end of all the story, We shall live and love no more!

Give me then, ten thousand kisses, Give me all thy blooming charms; Give me heavenly, melting blisses. Lying naked in my arms! A philosophical dandy thus vented his musings upon Copulation: "The idea is old; the attitude queer; and the motion fully ridiculous; but all tends to the acme of felicity."

The Pearl/Volume 6/MISSY'S THOUGHTS.

(At a Boys' School.) I'll tell my mammy when I go home. The boys won't let my twat alone; They pull my frock, and beg to see. What can they want to do with me?

My sister Mary's twice as wild, For she's fourteen, and I'm a child; And if they tried to plague her so, I think what bouncing Moll would do.

But why do the boys all tease me so, And ask if I have a mouse to show? They say there's a mouse in Bruce's clothes, And when he was cuddling me, it rose!

When yesterday, I climbed for pears, The boys all came to get their shares; They giggled, and pointed into my slit. I didn't know they were laughing at it.

The usher pretends to be my friend, But I don't know where his love will end; For while he keeps his sober talk. I catch his fingers under my frock.

They often make me lie down to show The very inside of my belly below, I do as they please, because they pay A shilling among them for the play.

They're not content, though I open wide, They grope for something or other inside; You'd think them fools, to see how they kiss, The smarting hole, by which I piss!

And then they show me all their shames, And teach me all the nasty names; I'll tell my mammy when I go home; The boys won't leave my Cunt alone!

A Brahmin at Madras introduced a relation of his to the Collector, who asked him whether this man was his brother. "No," said he, "he is not my brother, but he is one of my bloody relations."

A sailor on board the Duke of Edinburgh's yacht had a reputation as an impromptu poet. The following was one of his efforts before the Duchess: He was a bloody sparrow. Lived up a bloody spout; There came a bloody thunderstorm. And washed the bugger out.

But in a bloody minute, They stopped the bloody rain; So the bloody little sparrow. Went up the spout again. After which, he said: "I don't think much of it myself, marm, but my mates say it's bloody fine."

The Pearl/Volume 6/LADY POKINGHAM, OR THEY ALL DO IT.

Giving an Account of her Luxurious Adventures, both before and after her Marriage with Lord Crim-Con

PART III.

(Continued.)

The indisposition of the Duchess was a good excuse for all the ladies of the family to retire early, and after having dispensed with the lady's-maids, we met in Lady Montairy's chamber, all attired "en robes de nuit."

Bertha St. Aldegonde was a really splendid woman, a dark brunette of a fully developed figure, prominent dark flashing eyes, and a most sensual chin. Victoria Montairy was also a fine woman, with a very beautiful classic cast of countenance, whilst the darling Corisande seemed more beautiful than ever, for want of ornament, in her spotless chemise de nuit.

Alice and I both kissed her with rapture, which she lovingly responded to. "Now, what is the programme?" said Alice to Lady Bertha.

"St. Aldegonde and Montairy are both keeping themselves in reserve for the grand ceremony of to-morrow," she replied; "what weak things these men are; as if we wanted to be kept in reserve. Why Victoria and myself never get enough; the more we have the more we seem to require, and the less able they become to satisfy us. Talk about women's rights, they ought to compel husbands to find substitutes, when they can't do it for us."

"Well, if you have a pair of good godemiches, Beatrice and myself will try and satisfy you a little, whilst dear Corisande shall keep us up to the work with a good rod," said Alice.

The godemiches were brought forth, and proved to be of monstrous size, to our ideas; they were made of the finest vulcanized india rubber, beautifully moulded and finished, with all appendages complete; we strapped them on as soon as they were charged with a creamy compound of gelatine and milk. All were stripped to the buff.

Lady Bertha took me on her knee, kissing me lusciously, and handling the dildoe as if it had been alive. "What a fine fellow," she laughed, "but not a bit too large to please me." Meanwhile my fingers were busy, nipping and pinching her clitoris; she glued her lips to mine and fairly sucked my breath away, excited by my touches which had caused quite an erection of her finely developed clitoris. She drew me on to a couch, and I thrust the affair into her already spending cunny; her bottom responded to every shove, whilst I felt the smarting cuts of the birch, which Corisande was applying alternately to myself and Alice; it was most delicious. I responded with all my ardour to the loving caresses of Lady Bertha, who clasped me firmly by the buttocks, whilst with two fingers of the right hand she frigged both my bottom and cunny at once; Alice and her partner were quite forgotten; I thought I had never experienced anything so delicious in my life. The combination of emotions quite carried me away, the lovely woman bounding under me in rapture, our luscious kisses, the warmth and exquisite titillations of my fundament arrangements seemed such an acme of bliss that when I made the godemiche spend into her my own nature seemed to melt into a sea of lubricity.

After a few moments I entreated her to be the gentleman, and let me have her stiff clitoris, which I was sure could give me great pleasure. "Certainly, dear," she said, "I often do it to Victoria; throw off the dildoe." As quickly as possible we change places, and I begged her first to bring herself forward over my mouth that I might kiss her pussey, and caress that exciting clitoris of hers. It was done at once, and I had a glorious view of the paraphernalia of love. A splendid mount covered with glossy black hair; the serrated vermilion lips of her cunny slightly parted, from which projected quite four inches a stiff fleshy clitoris as big as a man's thumb. I opened the lips with my fingers, passed my tongue lasciviously about the most sensitive parts, took that glorious clitoris in my mouth, rolling my tongue around it, and playfully biting with my teeth; it was too much for her; with a cry of "Oh! Oh! you make me come, darling!" she spent profusely all over my mouth and chin.

She sank down upon me, and I opened my legs to admit her. "Now it's my turn to repay the delicious pleasure I owe you," she sighed, kissing me rapturously, and sucking my tongue into her mouth, so that I could scarcely catch my breath; with her fingers she opened my slit as wide as possible, then directing her clitoris to the passage she seemed to stuff lips and all in, then closed my affair upon it, holding them together tightly with her hand. I can't express to you how novel and delightful this conjunction was to me; we were both so heated and excited, our spendings seemed to mingle together and add to our erotic fury; without separating for a moment she rubbed and pushed about inside of me, the lips and hair of her cunny titillating the sensitive parts in a most thrilling way. We swam in a sea of lubricity, whilst Corisande added to her sister's enjoyment by the stimulating effect of her rod.

At last all was over, and we retired to rest, and did not rise till late next morning. Refreshed by a cold bath we had only just time to breakfast and prepare for our visit to the Academy. We drove to Burlington House, but only stayed half-an-hour, entered the carriage again and were driven to a large house facing the Thames, in Cheyne Walk; it was detached, and stood back in its own grounds.

We were received at the door by a quiet-looking old lady, who was the housekeeper and manager to the Paphian Circle; she ushered us into a large drawing-room, which occupied nearly all the space of the first floor, being supported in the centre by elegant fluted columns of black and gold, and the whole apartment looked like a hall of the veritable Alhambra, the windows closed by gorgeous black and gold curtains, and although it was daylight outside, lighted up by a constellation of wax lights, artistically arranged all round the walls.

The Duke of Brecon was there as a novice, with Bertram and Lord Carisbrooke as sponsors; Lords Montairy and St. Aldegonde, with several other gentlemen and ladies, were also present. Alice and myself were overwhelmed with compliments as being two of the original founders of the society. Lord St. Aldegonde, as president, now asked Corisande and the Duke if they pledged their words to keep all the secrets of the Paphian Circle, remarking that oaths were quite useless, as he felt sure those who introduced them had every faith in their honourable intentions. Being answered in the affirmative, and having shaken hands with them, he requested all to prepare for dancing, as no one else was expected.

The company retired to the dressing rooms, and in a few minutes we were all back in the drawing-room, everyone in a state of nudity with the exception of silk stockings, garters, and elegant dancing shoes. To prevent jealousy or any undue preference there was a deep box on a sideboard, where the refreshments stood; in this box were deposited slips of parchment, each bearing the name of one of the gentlemen present, and the ladies had each to draw for her partner in the first waltz, and the pas de deux after it. Corisande drew Lord Carisbrooke, and my prize was St. Aldegonde.

I must not omit to mention that one of the ladies would get a slip with "Piano" on it and the last gentleman had to turn over the music for her. This fell to Lady Bertha, who was a brilliant pianist, and at once struck up a well-known favourite from the Argyll Rooms, and we were instantly in motion. It was far more exciting than the blindfold romp on Fred's birthday; she kept us going till one by one, the couples subsided on the inviting couches, which stood around the room; my partner was in a brilliant state of erection, but he whispered to me, "Not yet Beatrice dear, we must see to Corisande." Everyone seemed to act without the necessity of orders; all the couples ranged up in a semi-circle, round the couch where Carisbrooke was caressing and kissing her, whilst the beautiful girl, her eyes languishing with love, was sighing and looking at his fine cock, which she held in her hand: "Now, love," said the gallant, "as a novice you must kiss every gentleman's affair, and then we will initiate you into the mysteries of Venus." Corisande, all blushes, took each throbbing pego tenderly in her hand, and softly kissed the velvet heads. "Now, Brecon," said my partner, "you do the same to the ladies, and that part of the ceremony will be over."

"With pleasure, on my knees," said the Duke, and we each presented our cunnies to his lips. Carisbrooke now gently inclined Corisande backwards, and put a soft pillow under her bottom, then proceeded to place himself in position, but unable to restrain his excitability, he spent all over her lovely mossy mount and belly, some of the sperm going quite up to the alabaster globes which adorned her heaving bosom.

He blushed with shame and vexation, whilst Corisande was crimson, and gasping with excited expectation.

Lady Bertha, who was the coolest of the company, at once wiped all the sperm off her sister's belly with her fingers, with which she lubricated her crack; then taking hold of His Lordship's affair, directed it properly to the longing gap of love. "Shove away. Shove, my boy. Heave up your bottom to meet him, dear," she laughed, giving Corisande a good sounding slap on the side of her buttocks with her other hand.

With a furious plunge, the dart of love made its effort just at the right moment. The collision with her hymen was most destructive, the virgin defences gave way as with an awful shriek of pain, she lost all consciousness. He completed the conquest of his victim's virginity, and then lay soaking, and trying to revive her sensibility by his lascivious throbbing inside of her, whilst we applied salts and restoratives to bring her round.

She very speedily came to herself, evidently forgetting the fearful pain of her ravishment; there was a delightful languor in her eyes, as she patted his bottom and hugged him to her bosom. He responded to the gentle challenge, making her revel in all the delights of coition, and never withdrew his blood-stained priapus till they had mutually spent several times.

My partner now led me to a couch, as the others dispersed on the same kind of business. He was still as stiff as ever, and I longed to feel him within me, but, to my surprise, he mounted the reverse way upon me, presenting his bottom to my face and asked me to press my firm bubbies together, so that his cock might spend between them whilst he gamahuched me. It was a luscious position, and I lent all my ardour to second his fancy, and his lascivious tongue made me spend in delight just as his sperm deluged my bosom and belly.

Alice had had Lord Montairy.

After this, the gentlemen's names were replaced in the box, and the ladies made another selection, but in case of anyone drawing the same partner a second time, she had to return the slip and draw another.

Thus we passed a most delicious afternoon, refreshing ourselves from time to time with champagne and ices, or something more substantial, for the worship of Venus and Priapus requires continual stimulating with the most invigorating viands.

In this short sketch of my adventures it would be impossible to describe everything at great length, but I can assure you the ladies fairly exhausted the gentlemen before they allowed themselves to be driven home to dinner.

 establishing the eventual right of the bondholders to obtain repayment of this tax shall be delivered to them at the time of the repayment of the coupons. If, after the expiration of this period, our Government considers it necessary to maintain, either during a certain number of years, or permanently, the tax established by the present Article, it can only be done after the institution, in agreement with the Powers, of an International Commission, similar to that which drew up the Law of Liquidation, and whose duty it would be to institute a general inquiry into the financial situation of Egypt, and to propose to us such measures as would appear to it suitable, in order to insure a fresh distribution of the resources of the country.

The composition of this Commission shall be settled in agreement with the Powers.

XIII. In the event of our Government having to furnish to the Daïra Sanieh in 1885 and 1886, in accordance with the provisions of Arts. XLIV and XLVII of the Law of Liquidation, a subsidy destined to complete the interest on its debt, it shall deduct from such subsidy, up to the amount thereof only, a sum equal to the proceeds of the tax of 5 per cent. on the whole of the interest at 4 per cent. of the Daïra Debt.

XIV. The same procedure shall be adopted as regards the eventual subsidy paid to the Domains Administration to complete the interest of 5 per cent. which is guaranteed to it by our Government.

The certificates mentioned in Art. XII shall be delivered under the same conditions to the bondholders of the Daïra and Domains.

XV. No tax shall be levied on the coupons of the Daïra and Domains Debts in the event of the revenues specially assigned to those two debts sufficing for their service.

XVI. The redemption of the Privileged and Unified Debts is suspended from the date of the signature of the International Convention, except in the case provided for by Art. XXII which follows:—

The sinking fund of 42,500l. provided for by Art. IV of the Convention concluded on the 14th April, 1880, between our

XVII. Will be considered as excess of the revenues of the provinces and Administrations assigned to the service of the Public Debt, the Budget receipts of all kinds assigned to this service by Arts. II and IX of the Law of Liquidation beyond the sum necessary to secure:—
 * 1. The service of the fixed annuity of ₤E. 307,125 (315,000l.) of the guaranteed loan;
 * 2. The interest at 5 per cent. of the Privileged Debt;
 * 3. The interest at 4 per cent. of the Unified Debt,

Subject to a deduction with reference to the two last-mentioned debts of the tax levied under the provisions of Art. XII of the present Law.

XVIII. The excess of revenues of provinces and Administrations not assigned to the service of the Public Debt are settled as follows:—

The sums for the expenses of administration or of improvement ('exploitation') which our Government is authorized to charge upon the gross revenues of the provinces and Administrations concerned may be added to the Budget receipts of all kinds realized in the provinces and Administrations.

From this total will be deducted the sum of ₤E. 5,237,000, at which figure the expenses to be charged to the non-assigned revenues are fixed.

The Budget of the railway expenses, including the Railway of Hélouan, having been estimated in the preceding figures at ₤E. 555,000, it is understood that the sum of ₤E. 5,237,000 will in case of need be increased up to the sum necessary to bring the credits for the Railway service up to the proportion of the 45 per cent. of their gross receipts.

The sum of ₤E. 5,237,000 will be also increased by the amount of the subsidies paid by the Ministry of Finance to the Treasury of the Public Debt, to the Daïra, and to the Administration of the Domains, in conformity with Arts. XI, XLIV, and XLVII of the Law of Liquidation, and to the Convention of the 31st October, 1878, concluded between our Government and Messrs. de Rothschild.

The Pearl/Volume 6/TWO EXTRAORDINARY LETTERS.

Produced in the Case of the Duchess of Cleaveland, in a Tryal against her husband, Robert Fielding, Esq., in the Arches Court of Canterbury, in the year, 1707.

Dear Wife,-

Puggy's indisposition has made me against my will indebted to my dear wife, for a kind billet she brought me before this she sent me this morning, which I hope will safely kiss her hands, for the contrivance of conveying it is very ingenious. You'd have reason to pity Puggy if you knew all, that is to say, I believe she is in your condition, which news from my dearest wife, if it be confirmed, I fancy I should hardly ever survive the joy and transport, therefore for God's sake, confirm it, as soon as you are sure matters are fixed. I hope you remember the dear, dear day of my having you in my naked arms and seized, possessed myself of all those charming treasures my dear had till then denied me. But then! blest be the memory of so much bliss, then, I say, opened those flood gates of happiness, and sure you must remember that.

"Like night and heat incorporate we lay, We blest the night and cursed the coming day."

Nay, even still, whenever I think of that night's way of passing our time, and how my dear assisted me to get into the inmost closet of her dearest womb; methinks I fucked again with height of pleasure, and fucked and fucked till I dissolved with pleasure; make haste, then, my dearest Nannette, to your husband's arms to-morrow night, as you promised me by Puggy, that we may again repeat those pleasures. And though I believe I made my love a little sore, as I was myself the first time we tryed, yet now matters will be more easy. I am sure the head of your poor playfellow was so swelled by the eagerness of thrusting it into your seat of Paradise, that you took all the skin off the face of it; so pray bring some of the same balsam you carry about you to heal it, as the dear liquor my dear carries about between her legs, which she must promise to open as wide as she can, that my great prick may yet again arrive at the summit of felicity. Adieu.

Your own husband FIELDING.

Dear Mary,-

I am glad my dearest wife got safe home, and without being whipped, for I should be very jealous if anyone should peep into Nannette's backside but myself. I assure you when I have got you once more in my arms, I'll so belabour it I'll make it black and blue, and cram it full of my elixir to nourish young Lord Tunbridge. Adieu my soul's life; think of your own.

FIELDING.

To my better-half, The Countess of Fielding. At Waddon.

THE TWO WOLVES.

"What a nasty smell there is in this den," said one wolf to another; "have you shit yourself?"

"No," said the other.

"Then," said the first wolf, "I must have done so myself." So he had. The moral of this fable is that though ever ready to spy into the defects of others, we are apt to overlook our own imperfections.

THE DOG AND THE COCK.

"What a large fellow you are!" said the Cock to the Dog. "I can fuck half-a-dozen hens, while you are getting halfway in."

"Very likely," said the Dog, "but when I am in I stay there fancy; look at my prick compared to yours. I don't call yours fucking at all, it's over before it's well begun." This fable teaches that I like a long prick best.

THE MONKEY AND THE DILDOE.

A pet monkey who had watched his mistress fill her dildoe with cream, waited a chance when she had ceased using it, being called away for a few minutes. "Now," said he, "I will have my fill of cream," so he sucked away, but unfortunately the lady had contracted syphilis, and the monkey died in convulsions. The moral of this fable is, that you should never suck dildoes.

THE FOX AND THE GANDER.

"You want a good stiff prick up your arse," said the Fox, when he found he could not catch the Gander.

"I've got one; I always wear it there," said the Gander, chuckling. "Sold again! Yah! Bloody Fool!" The Fox slunk off abashed. This shows that the same repartee does not suit everyone.

The Pearl/Volume 6/CUNT ON CO-OPERATIVE PRINCIPLES.

It has been suggested to the Editor of THE PEARL that there is a great necessity for a club where gentlemen might get their greens much cheaper and better than at present.

Women are so dear, and at the same time so deceptive in appearance, that one often pays heavily and yet only gets a stinking article for his generous outlay.

To obviate this, it is proposed to start a club, where at least twenty pretty governesses would be engaged at salaries of £100 per annum; there would be French, English, German, Russian, Italian, and even Zulu and Hottentots, so as to assimilate to every variety of taste. These ladies would accommodate the members whenever they might visit the club, and everything in the shape of dress and generous living and indulgence would be extended to these houris, to make them as agreeable as possible, and happy and contented with their fucktious situations.

Gentlemen members would have to pay a subscription of £1 per week, wines and refreshments of course being extra, but supplied at the lowest possible prices compatible with economy and efficiency.

Gentlemen desirous of submitting their names for admission as members, should do so at once to the Editor, Pearl Office, Cock Lane, London, E. C, as the number will be strictly limited to one hundred.

'Well, Bobbie went with her like a―like a lamb; never gave a kick or tried to clear.'

'Hold on,' said Mitchell, 'Did you ever shear lambs?'

'Never mind. Let me finish the yarn. Bobbie was married; but she wouldn't let him out of her sight all that afternoon, and he had to put up with her before them all. About bedtime he sneaked out and started along the passage to his room that he shared with two or three mates. But she'd her eye on him.

'"Bobbie, Bobbie!" she says, "Where are you going?"

'"I'm going to bed," said Bobbie. "Good night!"

'"Bobbie, Bobbie," she says, sharply. "That isn't our room; this is our room, Bobbie. Come back at once! What do you mean, Bobbie? Do you hear me, Bobbie?"

'So Bobbie came back, and went in with the scarecrow. Next morning she was first at the breakfast table, in a dressing gown and curl papers. And when they were all sitting down Bobbie sneaked in, looking awfully sheepish, and sidled for his chair at the other end of the table. But she'd her eyes on him.

'"Bobbie, Bobbie!" she said, "Come and kiss me, Bobbie!"

'And he had to do it in front of them all.

XX. When the revenues of the unassigned provinces and Administrations have been less than the amount of expenses settled by Art. XVIII of this Law, the Treasury of the Debt must levy on its surplus, and pay to our Ministry of Finance, the sum necessary to complete this amount.

When the revenues of the unassigned provinces and Administrations have exceeded the amount of the expenses above-mentioned, the excess shall be paid to the Treasuiy of the Debt.

XXI. The possible surplus in 1885 and 1886 on the total of the revenues assigned and unassigned, after the service of the different debts and of the public expenses, as laid down in the above Articles XVII and XVIII, are provided for, will be deposited in the Treasury of the Debt until the 15th April, 1887.

At that date a distribution of such surpluses will be made by the Commission of the Debt amongst the holders of the certificates mentioned in Articles XII and XIV.

If there is a surplus, it will be assigned to the repayment of the reduction of ½ per cent. effected on the interest of the Suez Canal shares.

If the surplus is insufficient to provide entirely for these different repayments, the surpluses of subsequent years shall be applied to the same object.

Every surplus which is not used for these repayments shall be divided equally between the Budget of the administrative expenses of the Government and the service of the sinking fund.

XXII. The money destined for the sinking fund in virtue of the preceding Article will be to the amount of ₤E. 87,750 (90,000l.) employed exclusively to the redemption of Guaranteed Loan.

The surplus will be assigned to the redemption of the other debts in the manner which has been established by the Law of Liquidation, and by the contracts concluded between our Government and Messrs. de Rothschild.

The Pearl/Volume 6/CHARACTERS OF HUSBANDS.

If a husband came home and found his wife being had by another man, what would he do?

That depends on his disposition.

The Polite husband would beg him not to draw until he'd spent.

The Considerate husband would offer soap, towel, and warm water, as soon as he drew.

The Funny husband would cry "Boh!" and tickle his arse with a feather.

The Good-Natured husband would remark that he liked buttered buns.

The Ceremonious husband would wait for an introduction.

The Just husband would sneer at the size of his balls.

The Modest husband would think his balls looked larger than his own.

The Refined husband would pull his shirt over his bottom.

The Cautious husband, with a large family, would ask if he had on a French Letter, and if not, request him to spend outside.

The Jealous husband would be annoyed, although he had on a French Letter.

The Suspicious husband would make his wife wash afterwards.

The Excitable husband would begin to frig himself.

The Shy husband would blush and walk away.

The Avaricious husband would want to charge for it.

The Mean husband would look to see if he'd used his cold cream.

The Epicurean husband would gamahuche his wife immediately afterwards.

The Conscientious husband would fear that he had neglected his wife.

The Cynical husband would be surprised that anyone should care to fuck his wife.

The Prompt husband would be up his arse before he could say, "Jack Robinson."

A poet, whose water taps had been stolen, as well as those of his landlady and another neighbour, affixed the following to a board in his front garden:

My landlady's cock has been stolen away; As well as my own, and also my neighbour's. Let us hope in contentment they lay, Released for a while from their watery labours.

Bad luck to the rascal that cut off our cocks; Surely one was sufficient his water to pass. The bugger deserves to be stuck in the stocks. With a cock in each eye, and the third up his arse.

Thou heavenly sun whose golden light Displays the hills with verdure bright; Sink thee, oh sink thee, in the west. And bring the hour I love best.

This evening shall my bosom prove, The richest ecstasies of love. Soon as thy glorious light retires. I look for her my heart admires;

A matron she of sober grace, With wisdom printed on her face. This evening shall my bosom prove, The richest ecstasies of love.

And is my heart then grown so cold, As to be pleased with matrons old; When I might feast on younger things, Ah, no! a lovely girl she brings!

This evening shall my bosom prove, The richest ecstasies of love. To war her soldier son has hied, She offers me his blooming bride;

And if the girl my taste should please, Her husband I advance with ease. This evening shall my bosom prove, The richest ecstasies of love.

She tells me of her daughter's form, Her swelling bubbies ripe and warm, Her rosy cheeks, her sapphire eyes, The jutting fullness of her thighs.

This evening shall my bosom prove, The richest ecstasies of love. Her little mouth, her snowy skin, The other mouth her smock within;

The more I questioned, more she told, In thought the darling I behold. This evening shall my bosom prove, The richest ecstasies of love. The stirring raptures of her tale, Made beauty over age prevail;

At length, with many a " Fie! for shame!" She quenched for once my raging flame. This evening shall my bosom prove. The richest ecstasies of love.

And said I that the dame was old, And thought I that my heart was cold! Her vigorous limbs are firm and fresh, And rich she blooms in prime of flesh.

This evening shall my bosom prove. The richest ecstasies of love. And if the daughter brings the gust. Of youth to aid the mother's lust;

And plays the game as well as she. She must a perfect angel be. This evening shall my bosom prove. The richest ecstasies of love.

 assortment of these; which they might distribute and recompose, as the subject required; but have preferred cutting the characters for each separate work, page by page. This stereotyping of their books has caused the stereotyping of their ideas; and kept them in the same eternal round of uniform notions, without variety or improvement. While the discovery of printing, therefore, has enabled them to multiply copies of their ancient books, it has discouraged the compilation of new works, and tied them down to an imitation of antiquity, without assisting them to burst the fetters which custom has laid upon them.

Still the use of wooden blocks has not been without its advantages: among which we may enumerate speed and cheapness. The first part of the process is, to get the page written out in the square or printed form of the character. This having been examined and corrected, is transferred to the wood in the following manner. The block, after having been smoothly planed, is spread over with a glutinous paste; when the paper is applied and frequently rubbed, till it becomes dry. The paper is then removed, as much of it as can be got away, and the writing is found adhering to the board, in an inverted form. The whole is now covered with oil, to make the letters appear more vivid and striking; and the engraver proceeds to his business. The first operation is, to cut straight down by the sides of the letters, from top to bottom, removing the vacant spaces between the lines, with the exception of the stops. The workman then engraves all the strokes which run horizontally; then, the oblique; and, afterwards, the perpendicular ones, throughout the whole line; which saves the trouble of turning the block

 round, for every letter. Having cut round the letters, he proceeds to the central parts; and, after a while, the page is completed. A workman generally gets through one hundred characters a day, for which he will get sixpence. A page generally contains five hundred characters. When the engraver has completed his work, it is passed into the hands of the printer, who places it in the middle of a table: on one side is a pot of liquid ink, with a brush; and, on the other, a pile of paper: while, in front, there is a piece of wood, bound round with the fibrous parts of a species of palm, which is to serve for a rubber. The workman then inks his block with the brush; and taking a sheet of dry paper, with his left hand, he places it neatly on the block; and, seizing the rubber with his right hand, he passes it once or twice quickly over the back of the paper, when the impression is produced, the printed sheet hastily removed, and the workman proceeds with the next impression, till the whole number be worked off; and thus, without screw, lever, wheel, or wedge, a Chinese printer will manage to throw off 3,000 impressions in a day. After the copies are struck off, the next business is to fold the pages exactly in the middle; to collate, adjust, stitch, cut, and sew them; for all of which work, including the printing, the labourer does not receive more than ninepence a thousand. The whole apparatus of a printer, in that country, consists of his gravers, blocks, and brushes; these he may shoulder and travel with from place to place, purchasing paper and lamp-black as he needs them; and, borrowing a table anywhere, he may throw off his editions by the hundred or the score, as he is able to

There was a young lass of Dalkeith, Who frigged a young man with her teeth; She complained that he stunk; Not so much from the spunk; But his arsehole was just underneath.

 the Law of Liquidation must, under penalty of forfeiture, be claimed from our Government before the 1st January, 1886. Those which, by that date, have not been formally claimed, either by a suit brought before the Tribunals, or by a receipt issued by a competent authority, or by an order of the Court, will be definitely barred and cannot afterwards form the subject of any action against our Government.

The Treasury of the Public Debt will reserve, for the purpose of insuring the settlement of the debts of the Liquidation which are still undecided, the bonds of the Privileged Debt, and the bonds of the Unified Debt which form part of the Liquidation funds of which it has the actual custody. All the surplus of the funds of the Liquidation as it is constituted by Art.

The bonds which may remain in the Treasury of the Debt after payment of all the debts of the Liquidation will be cancelled.

XXV. The power given to our Minister of Finance by Art. XXXVII of the Law of Liquidation to obtain advances on the current account is restricted to a maximum limit of ₤E. 1,000,000.

XXVI. The Reform Tribunals shall not have cognisance of the suit instituted by the Commissioners of the Treasury of the Public Debt against the Government of Egypt, the President of the Council, the Minister of Finance, the Mudirs, the Directors of the assigned Administrations, either in their public or private capacity, for payment of sums assigned to the sinking fund, and which have been paid directly to the Treasury of the Ministry of Finance during the months of September and October 1884.

XXVII. This Law shall be published in the 'Journal Officiel.'  It will take effect from the date of its publication, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary resulting from the Laws or Decrees in force.

Blenheim coach was descending into the valley of the Avetere River―pronounced Aveterry―from the saddle of Taylor's Pass. Across the river to the right, the grey slopes and flats stretched away to the distant sea from a range of tussock hills. There was no native bush there; but there were several groves of imported timber standing wide apart―sentinel-like―seeming lonely and striking in their isolation.

'Grand country, New Zealand, eh?' said a stout man with a brown face, grey beard, and grey eyes, who sat between the driver and another passenger on the box.

'You don't call this grand country!' exclaimed the other passenger, who claimed to be, and looked like, a commercial traveller, and might have been a professional spieler―quite possibly both.

They let him think. The coach descended the natural terraces above the river bank, and pulled up at the pub.

'So you're a native of Australia?' said the bagman to the grey-beard, as the coach went on again.

'Well, I suppose I am. Anyway, I was born there. That's the main thing I've got against the darned country.'

'How long did you stay there?'

'Till I got away,' said the stranger. Then, after a think, he added, 'I went away first when I was thirty-five―went to the islands. I swore I'd never go back to Australia again; but I did. I thought I had a kind of affection for old Sydney. I knocked about the blasted country for five or six years, and

 then I cleared out to 'Frisco. I swore I'd never go back again, and I never will.'

'But surely you'll take a run over and have a look at old Sydney and those places, before you go back to America, after getting so near?'

'What the blazes do I want to have a look at the blamed country for?' snapped the stranger, who had refreshed considerably. 'I've got nothing to thank Australia for except getting out of it. It's the best country to get out of that I was ever in.'

'Oh, well, I only thought you might have had some friends over there,' interposed the traveller in an injured tone.

'Friends! That's another reason. I wouldn't go back there for all the friends and relations since Adam. I had more than quite enough of it while I was there. The worst and hardest years of my life were spent in Australia. I might have starved there, and did do it half my time. I worked harder and got less in my own country in five years than I ever did in any other in fifteen'―he was getting mixed―'and I've been in a few since then. No, Australia is the worst country that ever the Lord had the sense to forget. I mean to stick to the country that stuck to me, when I was starved out of my own dear native land―and that country is the United States of America. What's Australia? A big, thirsty, hungry wilderness, with one or two cities for the convenience of foreign speculators, and a few collections of humpies, called towns―also for the convenience of foreign speculators: and populated mostly by mongrel sheep, and partly by fools, who live like European

 Highness the Khedive, dated the 13th March, 1884, respecting the house tax, with this modification: the foreign members of the Commissions and Councils of Revision instituted by Articles 4 and 5 of the said Decree shall be selected by the Consul in the event of the elections having no result, or in the event of the Delegates elected not appearing. If the Delegates selected by the Consul should not appear, then the Commission or Council of Revision shall be empowered to proceed in their absence.

They equally declare that they accept the application to their subjects, in the same manner as to natives, of the stamp tax and licence tax, and they engage to undertake immediately, in concert with the Egyptian Government, the study of the draft Laws establishing these two taxes.

III. Whereas the Powers have agreed to recognize the urgent necessity for negotiating with the object of sanctioning, by a Conventional Act, the establishment of a definitive regulation guaranteeing at all times, and for all Powers, the freedom of the Suez Canal:

It has been agreed between the seven Governments above named that a Commission composed of Delegates named by the said Governments shall meet at Paris on the 30th March, to prepare and draw up this Act, taking for its basis the Circular of the Government of Her Britannic Majesty of the 3rd January, 1883.

A Delegate of His Highness the Khedive shall sit on the Commission, with a consultative voice.

The draft drawn up by the Commission shall be submitted to the said Governments, who will then take measures to obtain the accession of the other Powers.

The Undersigned, Plenipotentiaries of Great Britain, Germany, Austria-Hungary, France, Italy, Russia, and Turkey, furnished with the necessary powers, declare by these presents that their respective Governments mutually engage to observe the foregoing stipulations.

In witness whereof the Undersigned have signed the present Declaration, and affixed thereto the seal of their arms.

Done at London, the 17th March, 1885.

 slaves in the towns, and like dingoes in the bush―who drivel about 'democracy,' and yet haven't any more spunk than to graft for a few cockney dudes that razzle-dazzle most of the time in Paris. Why, the Australians haven't even got the grit to claim enough of their own money to throw a few dams across their watercourses, and so make some of the interior fit to live in. America's bad enough, but it was never so small as that.…Bah! The curse of Australia is sheep, and the Australian war cry is Baa!'

'Well, you're the first man I ever heard talk as you've been doing about his own country,' said the bagman, getting tired and impatient of being sat on all the time. '"Lives there a man with a soul so dead, who never said―to―to himself"…I forget the darned thing.'

He tried to remember it. The man whose soul was dead cleared his throat for action, and the driver―for whom the bagman had shouted twice as against the stranger's once―took the opportunity to observe that he always thought a man ought to stick up for his own country.

The stranger ignored him, and opened fire on the bagman. He proceeded to prove that that was all rot―that patriotism was the greatest curse on earth; that it had been the cause of all war; that it was the false, ignorant sentiment which moved men to slave, starve, and fight for the comfort of their sluggish masters; that it was the enemy of universal brotherhood, the mother of hatred, murder, and slavery, and that the world would never be any better until the

 deadly poison, called the sentiment of patriotism, had been 'educated' out of the stomachs of the people. 'Patriotism!' he exclaimed scornfully 'My country! The darned fools; the country never belonged to them, but to the speculators, the absentees, land-boomers, swindlers, gangs of thieves―the men the patriotic fools starve and fight for―their masters. Ba-a!'

The opposition collapsed.

The coach had climbed the terraces on the south side of the river, and was bowling along on a level stretch of road across the elevated flat.

'What trees are those?' asked the stranger, breaking the aggressive silence which followed his unpatriotic argument, and pointing to a grove ahead by the roadside. 'They look as if they've been planted there. There ain't been a forest here surely?'

'Oh, they're some trees the Government imported,' said the traveller, whose knowledge on the subject was limited. 'Our own bush won't grow in this soil.'

'But it looks as if anything else would'

Here the stranger sniffed once by accident, and then several times with interest. It was a warm morning after rain. He fixed his eyes on those trees.

They didn't look like Australian gums; they tapered to the tops, the branches were pretty regular, and the boughs hung in ship-shape fashion. There was not the Australian heat to twist the branches and turn the leaves.

'Why!' exclaimed the stranger, still staring and sniffing hard. 'Why, dang me if they ain't (sniff) Australian gums!'

The Government of His Highness the Khedive undertakes to promulgate the Decree of which the draft is annexed. It further declares that, in so far as the arrangements above mentioned refer to questions of the internal administration of Egypt, the settlement of which appertains to it in virtue of the Firmans of His Imperial Majesty the Sultan, it adheres to these arrangements, and undertakes, as far as it is concerned, to carry them out.

In witness whereof the Undersigned, furnished with the necessary powers to this effect, has signed the present Declaration.

Done at London, the 17th March, 1885.

BLUM.

With a view to facilitate the conclusion by the Egyptian Government of a loan intended partly to provide for the Alexandria indemnities, the payment of which is especially urgent, and as regards the remainder, to settle the financial situation and secure the payment of certain extraordinary expenditure.

The Governments of Great Britain, Germany, Austria-Hungary, France, Italy, Russia, and Turkey have, by common consent, agreed upon the following provisions:—

I. The Egyptian Government, with the consent of His Imperial Majesty the Sultan, and under the guarantee resulting from the present Convention, shall issue, at a rate not to exceed 3½ per cent., the securities required to produce a sum not exceeding 9,000,000l.

A Decree of His Highness the Khedive shall fix the rate, the conditions, and the dates of issue.

II. The coupons shall be paid in gold in Egypt, in London, and in Paris, on the 1st March and the 1st September of each year.

 'Yes,' said the driver, flicking his horses, 'they are.'

'Blanky (sniff) blanky old Australian gums!' exclaimed the ex-Australian, with strange enthusiasm.

'They're not old,' said the driver; 'they're only young trees. But they say they don't grow like that in Australia―'count of the difference in the climate. I always thought'

But the other did not appear to hear him; he kept staring hard at the trees they were passing. They had been planted in rows and cross-rows, and were coming on grandly.

There was a rabbit trapper's camp amongst those trees; he had made a fire to boil his billy with gum leaves and twigs, and it was the scent of that fire which interested the exile's nose, and brought a wave of memories with it.

'Good day, mate!' he shouted suddenly to the rabbit trapper, and to the astonishment of his fellow passengers.

'Good day, mate!' The answer came back like an echo―it seemed to him―from the past.

Presently he caught sight of a few trees which had evidently been planted before the others as an experiment, perhaps―and, somehow, one of them had grown after its own erratic native fashion―gnarled and twisted and ragged, and could not be mistaken for anything else but an Australian gum.

'A thunderin' old blue-gum!' ejaculated the traveller, regarding the tree with great interest.

He screwed his neck to get a last glimpse, and then sat silently smoking and gazing straight ahead, as if the past lay before him―and it was before him.

scene is a small New South Wales Western selection, the holder whereof is native-English. His wife is native-Irish. Time, Sunday, about 8 a.m. A used-up-looking woman comes from the slab-and-bark house, turns her face towards the hillside, and shrieks:

'T-o-o-m-may!'

No response, and presently she draws a long breath and screams again:

'Tom m-a-a-y!'

A faint echo comes from far up the siding where Tommy's presence is vaguely indicated by half-a-dozen cows moving slowly―very slowly―down towards the cow-yard.

The woman retires. Ten minutes later she come out again and screams:

'Tommy!!'

'Y-e-e-a-a-s-s!' very passionately and shrilly.

'Ain't you goin' to bring those cows down to-day?'

'Y-e-e-a-a-s-s-s!―carn't yer see I'm comin'?'

 graze again while the boy stirs up another milker.

An hour goes by.

The rising Australian generation is represented by a thin, lanky youth of about fifteen. He is milking. The cow-yard is next the house, and is mostly ankle-deep in slush. The boy drives a dusty, discouraged-looking cow into the bail, and pins her head there; then he gets tackle on to her right hind-leg, hauls it back, and makes it fast to the fence. There are eleven cows, but not one of them can be milked out of the bail―chiefly because their teats are sore. The selector does not know what makes the teats sore, but he has an unquestioning faith in a certain ointment, recommended to him by a man who knows less about cows than he does himself, which he causes to be applied at irregular intervals―leaving the mode of application to the discretion of his son. Meanwhile the teats remain sore.

Having made the cow fast, the youngster cautiously takes hold of the least sore teat, yanks it suddenly, and dodges the cow's hock. When he gets enough milk to dip his dirty hands in, he moistens the teats, and things go on more smoothly. Now and then he relieves the monotony of his occupation by squirting at the eye of a calf which is dozing in the adjacent pen. Other times he milks into his mouth. Every time the cow kicks, a burr or a grass-seed or a bit of something else falls into the milk, and the boy drowns these things with a well-directed stream on the principle that what's out of sight is out of miudmind [sic].

Sometimes the boy sticks his head into the cow's side, hangs on by a teat, and dozes, while the bucket,

 IX. The expenses of remittance and other expenses of the operation shall be levied on the amount of the loan.

The Commissioners of the Treasury of the Debt shall deduct from the proceeds of the Guaranteed Loan the sum necessary to complete the payment of the Alexandria indemnities, and shall pay those indemnities to the claimants on behalf of our Government according to the awards made by the International Indemnity Commission.

The indemnities shall be paid in full and without arrears of interest. The surplus of the loan shall be paid over by the Commissioners of the Treasury to our Minister of Finance as required.

The portion of the loan remaining after deduction of the amount of the indemnities shall, together with the funds placed at the disposal of our Minister of Finance by Article 24 of the present Law, be assigned to the following charges:—

X. Any unemployed balance after provision has been made for the charges indicated above shall be applied, according to the conditions enumerated in Article 5 of the present Law, to the purchase of securities which shall be cancelled.

XI. The Commissioners of the Treasury of the Public Debt shall furnish us at the end of each half-year with a Report showing, according to the vouchers which will be given to them, the manner in which the proceeds of the Guaranteed Loan have been employed. This Report will be published in the 'Journal Officiel.'
