Oh! where, and oh! where is your Highland "Caddie" gone?
He's gone to join the Strike, and now "Caddie" I have none;
And it's oh! in my heart that I wish the Strike were done!
Oh! what, and oh! what does your Highland "Caddie" claim?
He wants sixpence for a round of nine holes. It is a shame,
And it's oh! in my heart that I fear 'twill spoil the game.
And what, tell me what, are your Highland Caddie's tricks?
He has "picketed the links" just to keep out all "knobsticks,"
And it's oh! in my heart, that I feel I'm in a fix!
Suppose, oh! suppose that all Highland Caddies strike!
I might have to turn up golf, and to tennis take, or "bike,"
But it's oh! in my heart that I do not think 'tis like!

"NAME! NAME!"--In a recent report from the East occurs the
delightfully-suggestive name of "SEYD BIN ABED." Of course he is a
relative to "SEYD IM GOTUP AGEN." Or perhaps he has changed his
name from "SEYD UAD BIN ABED" to "SEYD IMON SOPHA." If "Seyd" be not
pronounced as "Seed" but as "Said," the above titles can be altered to
match. True or not, yet "so it is Seyd." The news in which this name
occurs appears to have reached the correspondent through a person
called "RUMALIZA." Can anything coming from a female styled "RUM
ELIZA" be credible?

OUT OF COURT.--A sharp young lady listening to a conversation about
witnesses being sworn in Court, interrupted with "I don't know much
about kissing the book, but if I didn't like him, I'd soon bring the
kisser to book."
