PARNELL.
Has the rising young butcher come to the age of twenty-four yet ? Somebody is waiting to see him sail for Ireland, to get the property he brags so much about. Who is the red-headed boy that can do the 100 yards in 90£ sees. ? Good boy, Sandy. Who is that youthful lodger near Newmarket that winks at those stones that are not far away ? Look out, Ertie, or you will get lynched. How is it that Mac does not comeiOiit with the brown one now ? Perhaps Baldy will explain it. What are Bob and Eddie doing dewn at. the corner greenprocer's shop every night? Is it to get stickjaws or lipstickers ? How is it that Dave can't leave the girls alone ? The other boys will soon get so jealous that a few of them will cut their throats. Take my advice, Dave, and retire to Conquest Place again. It sees as if the sweet Madeline misses the naval uniform and big brass buttoas. bhe seems very abstracted, and is dead off the dudes. lhe other evening three joung ladies were seen having a game of • kiss me-quick ' by the roadside, dodging around a telegr iph post with tbree young sparks who ought to have been in bed. 'lhese young spark-, are of different trades, one being a saddler, one a gospel-teller, and the other a newsmonger. .1 fancy if these youug spar«s* dear mas had known what tbeir dear d irling boys were up to, they would have been annoyed. A Wise man from the Carrick shore will soon be required here.
