Ther was me ould frind Jarveys in Winsor uneeforrum. Sure be mcd a bould spache, an me an Johnny Martin v an Paddy Buckley, an a few more ay the bojs thought how beautiful a shpree we could have wid Guvvy in the chair, wid his nicely rounded sintinces, an his palaver, and me friend the Mefjor puttin' purty proshpects into his, mouth fur him. tibure an what the divil's the use ay bein in the aisy billet ay Guvernor, wid the tidy schrew ay about eight thousand a year, an' little to do fur it anless ye get along smoothly, have no bother, and thry by sofastry to make every one aisy. Well the bould Guards kern out wid. ther busbies, an' the artillery fired a sbaloot an the reclaimed land, an' wan or two bobbies lukd more important than usual, an' some ay the janteel civil sarvints —the divil a bit the luk like sarvints—rowled out, an' about three hundherd people thought an' Inkd "well this is my day," an' the carriages ran into the resarve from Hill street, ■ an the poor divils ay plebeians (who take more rale interesht in politics—rowled into the gallery from Sydney street, and the paid gentry*- (furrin) was shupratne. Xe've had the report ay procaydiri's from me frind Gillon ay the Press Agency, so I wont taise ye wid it, but man it was jushfc only about dacent. More anong as we say on the continong.
