THE "HIGHLAND" BRIGADE.

("Spalpeen," in Glasgow "Star.") (Some ul the papers are finding fault with the Irish because, they are not joining Kitchener's army in large numbers, but they have only to read the list of killed and wounded in English and Scotch regiments to find an answer to their question. Amongst the various arrivals of wounded in Stobhill Hospital art to be found the following names in Scotch Regiments.) Come, listen to me you seek for our aid, Till I read you some names from the "Highland" Brigade Who went to the front all the Germans to kill. And a batch of those wounded are now in Stobhill. 1 find on the list an O'Malley and Boyle, A Murphy, a Kelly, a Riley and. Doyle; A Casey, a Carney, a Korke, and M'Cann, All strapping young Highlanders, every mar. There aie Rooneys and Dohertys there by the score. And Gallaghers, too, you will find in galore; While Muldoons and O'Connors can

also be had, Troth, the ould boy himself couldn't bate such a squad. And, bedad, there you'll find Piper Riordon from Cork, The skirl of whose pip°s could be heard in New York, And Meagher who plays the big c'rum iu grand style, Who, I'll swear never slept on the shire ol Argyll. There is Driscoli, a bandsman, and Pipe-Major Foy, With a Carney, M'Lauhlin, Maginn, and Malloy An U'Leary and Uoogan, M'bride and M'Gill, Ail foochin' and dancin' about in Stobhill. You can find, if you wish, a Delaney and Burke, A Carrol, a Clancy, a Toole, aDd M'Gurk; A Frley, a Walsh, a M'Guire, and a Quin, All pledged to assemble some day in Berlin. There was Gunner O'Uonnell ancJ

Sergfant M'Fall, Who can both cut the tartan of old Donegal; And Barney M'Luskey, whose hair isn't dry, And who says he Lelonga to the Island of Skye. It would do your heart good to ace Paddy M (lee, The claves of whose legs arc as thick as a tree; And big Darby lJnolan, who comes from Strabanc, Has his "wee dcoch an dorus" whenever he can, I don't think that Britain need carc for the Huns With such tine "Highland soldiers" to handle her guns; Afi r J I lately was told b-i' Von Kluck niid bis met) Aie praying to the Lord not to meet them ague.
