PATCHWORK: OR. MAKING UP A BRITISH REGIMENT.
Secretary for" War. Ah ! we shall make him tip.
Commander-in-Chief. Oh yes, no doubt.
But 'tis a nuisance that these skeins run out.
Doesn't look uniform—tints don't quite blend.
Secretary for War. Motleyish, eh?
Commander-in-Chief. _ Stitch on! We 're near the end.
Not a bad makeshift, really, as things go.
But as for following our pattern!
S'xretaryfor War. Oh!
Don't mention it. The Critics will excuse
A little jumbling of our reds and blues,
Considering the pressure,—
Commander-in- Chief. Well, they may ;
But hurry-scurry Patchwork does not pay.
For once, the job may pass without a wrangle,
But botching haste might end in a bad tangle. _
[Left stitching against time.
Steps in the Christian Walk.
Young Prince Louis Napoleon received his " baptism of fire " at
the taking of Saarbruck. BZe is now about to proceed to Zulu-Land for
his confirmation. Punch feels bound in fairness to add, that he is
a brave, bright lad, and has won golden opinions from all, both
officers, professors, and comrades, with whom he has been brought
in contact in his Woolwich training, and during the manoeuvres in
which he has taken part.
