(Sergeant Brown (Montreal) of the Royal 65th Victoria Fusiliers—and of the First Con- tingent—reads Sir Wilfrid's speech in the mess after the evening parade, and speaks his mind.) "A foreigner," boys ! That beats me ; I can't get over that. It fares me entirely; I don't know where I'm at. The ''Union Jack is upon the wall ; it doesn't look forlorn; And I 'wonder if I'nm a "foreigner," too, in the country where I was born. Sir Wilfrid calls him"a foreigner," alien in mind and in heart. Then were wo a "foreign" legion, serving the Queen for hire, When we marched with Roberts actress the veldt, trying to do our part, By the h Cron eon 'spitide, in the long days' march, or I wonder if I'm a "foreigner?" Was I serving a "foreign" Queen? Have I lost my Canadian birthright in the places mvhero I have been ? X have never been under a different flag from the one ou the wall -there now, But neither has Lord Dtmdonald ; and yet he's a "foreigner!" How? Gordons, Shropshires and Cornwalls; Boys of the Old Brigade, Was it a stranger's welcome wo got from yon comrades? No! Right front the heart, my brothers; and bro- thers' cheerful aid. Yoh did not know wo were "foreigners" till our Premier told you so. I am sorry about Sir Wilfrid ; I thought him a right geed kind ; And I'm serf, I gave him a vote or two before he showed us his mind ; But I'll never give him another while the Moddet grass growseen O'er my comrades who died'noath a "foreign" flag in the pay of a "foreign" Queen, BIRTHS, Srigley,—•In Lower Wingham, June 22nd, Mrs. Geo.
