It is our boast that he will ever find
At least the welcome of a homely chop.
Some day, perhaps, when I have made my pile,
And can from ostentatious show refrain,
Without the Greengrocer to purchase "style,"
I possibly once more may entertain!
And so,--I know not how it came about,
But if by chance, it is a happy fluke
That I at length without the slightest doubt
Have lived to bless that Greengrocer's Rebuke!

QUELCHING QUELCH.--Mr. QUELCH, before the Labour Commission, is said
to have expressed his opinion that "the liberty to combine should
not involve the liberty not to combine." Doesn't Mr. QUELCH see, that
without "liberty not to combine" there _cannot_ be any "liberty to
combine." For if a man is not at liberty to abstain from combination,
it is obvious that he is compelled to combine; and compulsion is
hardly liberty. Freedom lies in choice, and Mr. QUELCH would leave the
workman none.
