Dear Sor,—l have shifted me camp, so I hare, an' found me way among the waihenes an' other attractions in Tay Whittey's camp. In sarch ay information, I follied a great crowd ay warriors to the monthly meetin' here, an' begog it was on the seventeenth ay Oireland, so^t was, an' although sorra the tashte ay potteen was about, me heart lept with divarsional anthusiasm whin T larnt that me frinti, Tay W., had fixed wan ar his grate days simultayneous with our Milesian festival. Be the way, I have jusht shtruck aff a palthry pome in honor ar his dacent complacency :— .

The bould Tay Whitty, abud hare built a city, An in it re'gned as the people's Thribune; His follyeij thruly, would'rt (it onruly,; Or the'd whishtlo to an onilegint trne. Hi* pr.'seeratunce is, to all appayrunci, Jmht E3 sthjff now ea the athrongeaht starch ; An he nobly fixes, an no datci he mixes, That the great day's Seventeenth ay March. :Xwould make one faint sore, ay our pathro < ■ saint surei <■). -\ (•; '■■„ Did not applaud the Maoii prophet's Bay; Jusht think the naygurs shud became lard '■ laygurs, •> j\ . ;fi § An make ther feshtival Saint Path Jck's ?Day.? ■•' ■■■■"■ ■ ? x -' May luck attind him, an' all fat edefind him, At he's loy'l an thrue to keep our holiday; But about we'll amd him, an the divil mead him, .

So me bould waivior, don't make u« sorter, Be not t 'tin' atb'.aight up tj the coutithi/'a law; Ye've mcd a shtep now, I might say a lep now, An yer snsibiUiy should be a dhraw.
