Be the powers o , Moll Kelly, bad luck to the thing ie stirrin' at all at all since me last, barnn' a slight conthra-tongs (Frinch) ■wid about the' gbssooiis who clane the pewthers* (these political measures resaive more attintion thin the other political measures) at Bellamy's,'an' be dad me collaige got the best o' the argument, so he did. I tuk tay wid the Markiss a few nights ago, an' he was axin me advise about pro-rouge-in the House. Ay coorse I advised him to sind the mimbers about their business at his airliest possible convaineance, for sure myeilf and me collaiges want some leasure to matchure our idays an' plans for the futchure. Be the vartu o' me oath I've jist discovered a consperacy to upset us, an , place Docthor Wallis in the Prime-ear's sait. The iday is simply prepostherous, for shure he's no more _ fit to be Prime-ear than Misther Satan himself. Now if they talked o' inakin' him Mini&ther o' eddicasliun, there would_ be some Bmseiri it, as he's a good grammarian, bekays he's always a Parsin, but Prime-ear 5s out o'the question, so it is. As I was goin'home a few nights ago from Bellamy's I dhropp'd across two mimbers who pretind to be grate frinds ay ours intirely, an' the following convirsation inshued, which I've sthrung into a nate Hai-ic or lamintation. I know their names well, an' be Jabers if they give me any ay their jaw I'll let the cat out o' the bag on them, so I will:— LAMBTON KAY. .Come all ye loyal hayroa, an , lind to me an ear, I'll tell as thrue a story as iver ye did hear: Concarnin' two bould mimbers, if yell attintion pay, I'll sing ay their advintures, boys, one night on Lambton Kay. Sure, comin' home from Bellamy's, I met the dacint boys, Says one unto the other, " Faix I'll ehortly make a noise. They promised me a billet if I'd vote the proper way, But still'l'm left out in the could to sthroll on Lambton Kay."
