The Dopper and the Orangeman Observed the facts with sobs ; They wept like anything to see Such quantities of Bobs. •*' They said, " It's not so soft a thing As weie our former jobs." -*• If seven Swiss for seven years Would kindly arbiuate, Do yoa suppose." ihe Dopper said; ** That you couid save your State ?£~ U *-I4oubt it," said the Orange-man, i " Tdat dodge id out o: date." j i ■" Oh Britons, make a peace with me," | The Dopprr said with calm ; '*' For I can wave the oliva Irauca As well as win the palm : JSIy character is staled iv The 52nd Psalm. •' The truce has come," the Dopper said, ! «' To talk of many things ; Of Rhodes aud Raids and Robert9es, And telegrams - f rom Kings ; " And why the Raad should have no votes And other spots bays strings.' «« Oh Britons," said the Orunge-uian, ** Of course we should bave won ; But still if yoa will stop the war — " ADd then his speech was done. • .And this was hardly odd because He faced a naval gun.
