The truth is, your hosannahs, haleluahs glorinca-

we laughed at the tragic strut and swagger and the
shouts and hurrals of the mighty army of stage sol.

were willing to deprive the Irish aud the Catholics

enough Gogcins and Cranes to annoy and fret the
old lion of Democracy you will once more have the
pleasure of hearing him roar.
