"Bolton W. 1, Manchester C. 0.
Bolton Wan. 1, Manches. C. 0."
Sunderland Daily Echo.
It is still a little obscure, but "B. Wanderers 1, M. City 0" would bring it home to everybody.
THE SPIRIT OF ULSTER AND THE ARMY.
(An Appeal to Both Parties.)
Still dreaming of the spell of Southern nights,
Strange on my homing senses fall the raucous
Shouts of Democracy, asserting rights
It long ago committed to the caucus;
Strange—in a Chamber run for party ends,
Busy with private rancours, feuds, ambitions—
The legend that the Nation's life depends
Upon her politicians!
Yet two things offer cheer: in Ulster there—
Fanatic sentiment, you'll say, and scoff it—
I see a hundred thousand men who care
For something dearer than their stomach's profit;
Under the Flag they stand at silent pause,
True Democrats that hold by Freedom's charter,
Resolved and covenanted for the Cause
To give their lives in barter!
