QUEEN VICTORIA'S VISIT TO DUBLIN.

Och, such rushing and crushing, Such pushing and lushing— Such racing of carriages, chrashin' of cars — Was ne'er before troublin' The city of Dublin, Since Misther Turgesius brought over his wars. Such music and firm'— Eveiy sowl, too, admirin' The sinilin' young Queen, and her consort so stately ; With the little princesses, In their pnrty silk dhresses, And the smart Prince of Wales doin' sailor so liately. There was somethin 1 so grand in That Her Majesty's landin', every one shouted and every one smiled ; We had people in millions — Dukes, lords, and pavilions, Policemen, postilions, and all running wild. Cocked hats with big plumes, Country folk hirin' rooms ; High arches, quick marches, and ban' kerchiefs wavin' ; Carriages, marriages, Dhresses, adhresses, And nobody dlireamin' of slcepin' or savin. In yachts there was hauling* ; From brats there was bawlin', When mothers got wedged at the station-house door ; Commandliers, high-landers, Directors, projectors, And trains that were crowded soon made to hold more The night, too, was light too, And made much more bright, too, By gas and by tallow, by wax and shy rocket. There was catches and glees, Boxiu' matches and sprees, And ev'ry one busy, from peer to pickpocket. Och, sure 'twns done heavy All at the grand levee j Not to mention the visit to the Gardens and Bnnk ; Or to Thrinity College, Where they've got the dead knowledge; And the Schools, where the children all sung in a rank. 'Twas grand altogether The sights and the weather ; The drancin' and pranein', the dhrawin'-ioom, too. Here's long live Victoria In honour and glory, [review ! And more power to the Piince, and the babes, and. J) ul lin Warder,
