VOLUNTEER RIFLE CORPS,

Our patriotic, practical, and facetious friend, "the Butter-
man," this week gives a satisfactory answer to the question,

HOW ARE THEY TO BE " GOT UP t"

At 7 A.M., a r ifleman, in heavy marching order, armed to the
teeth, mounts guard in front of the Butter Place, and there remains
on duty to 7 P.M., with the exception of the few minutes he spends
before dinner in discharging his rifle, and rubbing up his arms.
In his pretty uniform, the ladies unanimously pronounce him
"a duck." Mischievous people say he's soiled by Bd. Butter; but
that is—untrue.

The number of persons that called
.to see him up to Six
on Friday Evening, was exactly

25,500 GENTLEMEN
500,000 "Aims ! !

JUVENILES, INCALCULABLE !

Atit—‘r. The British Grinadiers."

The Mayor a public meeting.
On Friday did convene,
At which a mighty concourse
Of every rank was seen;
Our worthy Mayor was in the chair
Surrounded by his peers,
To hold a debate on the present stat
Of the Rifle Volunteers.

Around the Mayor we noticed
The great ones of the town,
The brave Sir Fenwick Williams,
And Mr. William Brown
Likewise the gallant adjutant,
Who, f6r the la,st six years,
Has organised, and is highly prised
By the Rifle Volunteers.

The various magnates present
The meeting now addressed,
And all their admiration
Of Rifle Corps expressed.
Each motion was unanimous,
And. carried 'mid loud cheers.
If the papers you read you will know what was said
Of the Rifle Volunteers.

One ti►ing upon the meeting
Did cast a little gloom,
Which was—that Edward Kelly
Could not be got to come.
He sent a speech, however,
Ills sentiments to state ;
But, I grieve to write, by some oversight,
The missive came too late.

Its purport now we publish :
E. Kelly begs to say,
"That, though his avocation
"Confines him close all day,
" Still those few hours which he devotes !
" To rest from toil severe,
"He'll pass not at home, but himself become
" A Rifle Volunteer."

Nov talk of Alexander,
Or talk of Wellington,
Let Yankees "raise their dander"
With tales of Washington;
Yet which of these three heroes,
Pray tell me, if you can,
Was one single jot more a patriot
Than the British Butterman
