VULUNTEER BEORGUNIZASHUN.
(To the Editor of the EvßNina Stab.)
Sib,—Eeorgunizashun is wanted,- no doubt about it at all, at all. Kissin* goes by favur. Politiknl dodgeree is the ordthur of the day. Thames boys won't trouble about the proposed schame, they, are going to let her rip. If the schame bekums law, they will throo the mane-* deck overboard, Half-a»crown fur a day light drill, bejabers it might hay' dun fur a moonlight drill in ould Oireland. Besides ther's to be no talkin' in the rainks, an' no rust allowed on yer muskit. The tarms is too munifisint ontirely. Hithe certifikits for all Ajjytants, this is a new kind of kit I b'leeve to.kape, thare eyes strate. Bosh-eyed milishymen stand no show with Gin'ral Davyson, he knose what good looking sojers is. He has been akcustumd to Bengallee muck' wallahs, she-poys, and sykes all his loife. His butyful schame is a dyejest (G-rake) of the hadvoioes of all the vulonteer ossifers—i.e., he has hashed all the krackbraned ideas up togither, and necklekted to take the pratcticabul sug jest-'----y uns. Wun redammg fay ture he has got however, he is fur sepur&ting tbe vulonteers from the A.C. Bobbys department. But he is death on having a lot qf miliytary darlins with curly hair, ixpressiy imported to take phosts as ajjytants. Faith an' have'nt we got big guns en'uf alreddy. I shuld have supposed that the Hauraki Injeneers, an' the Boifießaogin kud have supplyd the whole of Ne?r Zeeland wid Ajjytants and Captingg widaut goin' to the ixpence of importin' ov em. Weeve got captings wid meedles hanging to thare ooats, hoo hay' sarved ware bullets was allays the thickest wid the ammuneeshun wagguns. I will rite agane sune.—l am, yores trooly, Pat O'Nemeba.
