Is the next that comes upon the _tapis_ of the Zodiac. It is the same
Leo whom Hercules got over in the forest of Ardennes, by means of animal
magnetism, having thrown him into a state of _coma_, with a few passes
of his club. This made the second candidate Hercules returned to the
Zodiac Parliament. England (not the Young—but the Old) was born under
the protection of the Lion, who, for this reason, is always called by
orators the "British Lion," and painted on signboards, giving his paw to
the British arms, in friendly confab with the British Unicorn. Mr.
Carter, the greatest Lion tamer since Hercules, was born during this
month; and young dandies and authors, who patronize tea-parties, are
called "Lions."
