ORIGIN.tra I'OEIIIY.

It is (says the Writer of the following, lines) an old criston.
of British Beaux to give to their habiliments the names 91
Victories achieved by the valour of their Countrymen. A
century ego, Stetnkirk Cravats and Ramillies Wigs wer'e
as common as the Catuperdowns, Nelsons, and Waterloo,
of cur days. Perhapi this custom is greaser in CoßutrY
Towns than in the Metropolis in the latter a Bond-street
Lounger may call one of his garments by the name of the
Victory or time Commander ; his country Pr•ethren are
Waterloos from top to toe. To one of the latter the
following verses are addressed :

THE WATERLOO BUCK.
While Border WAT, on minstrel lyre,
In strains that rival Hommt's arc,
High celebrates 01' auspicious day,
When, lured by WI:IAA:sun 's winning way,
The fickle goddess bade adieu
To " her spoiled child" at Waterloo:
Be 't thine to play a humbler game
To spiendour conquering A 11111 U fame;
In thine own way, hi,, praise express
By spotting every part of dress,
From low-crowned hat, t high-heeled shoe,
That bears the name of Waterloo.

The tippy.bat that decks thy brow
Tells us, " the Tyrant's fallen now!" ;
- And oh ! if mad ambition's dream
Still haunt his soul 'sleuth Tropic beam,
May the broad 1311111 that shades his face
Aye tell hies of Ilk foul disgrace;--
The Quaker-badge is surely due
To him who quaked at Waterloo.

And well, my friend, thy Whiskers twain)
Might grace the cheeks of Cossack swain.
By Don's broad waste, or far Ukraine.
Had they to BoNEY's view appeared,
When be his latest oagles reared,
" In his mind's eye" be straight had seen
Old PLArore's ptilks, with lances keen,
He'd earlier bawled out, "Souoons-nousi*,
And sneaked away from Waterloo.

Or as the Minstrel rode along
To view the 'rowers of Hougomont,
`lbro' Soigni's wood, from Brussels' pale,
Had he thee met, thou 'slat graced his tale,
He'd " soothly swear" his liboderick Dim
Had crossed his path at Waterloo.

Thy smart-cot coat of red brown hue
Reminds usiof our triumph too;
Of that dread fray, when Belgic* rand
Was soaked in recteant Frenchmen's Wood
When Scotch-Grey—Life•guard—Cannunter-...
Like lobster crushed the Cuirassier
When heynnet bright and fell Claymore
Were bathed in perjured rebels' gore,
And made the lads of Paris rue
Their summer trip to Waterloo.

The garh that clothes thy lower frame,
And hears our gallant Marshal's name....
'thy steel-shed hed, and 'sounding tread,
Remind us how 'O'er heaps of dead,'
Our heroes trod with vengeful brand,
And swept front earth the Gallic hand.(
How to base flight the Tyrant took,
Cast on the field a withering look,
Left to their fate his followers true,
And Scampered oft from Waterloo.

Dear Patriot Youth, arrayed,
Thou charrnest the eye of Patriot Maid,
And art in every Briton's view
A Monument df %Vateriuo.
