MULRENNAN'S LAMENT.
Ye West Const men and women with any loyal loaning Tako notice of' Mtilronmin, with his long-drawn breath and cigh ; For he's nearly down and outed, though gallantly ho spouted. For lie's not got the right to livo—ho ran only croak and dio. His name wo will remember with solemn thoughts and tender, For was not lie the very bloko that hove a deep-drawn sigh For hid country when in danger, 0 Jerusalem and thunder. He hasn't got the right to live, but only croak and dio, It.';-, true for him, by jabera, when his country wanted soldiers, He blatherskited round the town and in the papers, too,. And devil a thought of 'listing, but did some rebellious twisting Of history both ancient and quite new. • But the sun will shine to-morrow to the everlasting sorrow Of Germans and every traitor here; For never again will blighters hold up their heads and slight us, ; For we'll inarch them to their quarters in the rear. F.C.
