CHARGE OF THE DRESS BRIGADE.
fALF A LICAGUE, half a. league, half a league rearward, Eight through the mire and dirt, Much to its beauty’s hurt, Trailed the rich silken shirt, II alf a league rearward. Half a yard, half a yard, half a yard fully— Hirsute and woolly, Into the liquid air, Itode up tub pile of hair, From other heads sundered; W Lile seated upon it Rode the brave bonnet— Eode, though it wondered, Curls to the right of it. Curls to the left of it. Curls to the rear, Curls that were plundered. What though men shout “0, the ' Fortunes you’ve squandered!” 1 heirs not to make reply, Theirs but to dress o. die, “ Charge 1” to tue clerks they cry—- “ Charge by the hundred 1” —Taranaki Herald.
