Who unrewarded gave
To her his life-bought gift of song and fame.

The land he trod
Hath now become a place of pilgrimage ;
Where dearer are the daisies of the sod
That could his song engage.
The hoary hawthorn, wreath'd
Above the bank on which his limbs he flung
While some sweet plaint he breath'd ;
The streams he wander'd near;
The maidens whom he lov'd ; the songs he sung
All, ill are dear!

The arch blue eyes,—
Arch but for love's disguise,--
Of Scotland's daughters, soften at his strain;
Her hardy sons, sent forth across the main
To drive the ploughshare through earth's virgin soils,

Lighten with it their toils ;
And sister-lands have learn'd to love the tongue
In which such songs are sung.

For doth not Song,
To the whole world belong
Is it not given wherever tears can fall,
Wherever hearts can melt, or blushes glow,
Or mirth and sadness mingle as they flow,
A heritage to all ?

Time, of course, prevented us from remaining
until the commencement of the second part, but of
the execution of those pieces which took place
while we were present, we can speak in the highest
terms of praise.
The day's proceedings will conclude with " God
save the Queen," the following verse having been
written for the occasion by Mr. Thomas Oliphant,
honorary secretary of the Madrigal Society, with
special reference to the Princess Frederick William
of Prussia.

Long live her daughter fair,
Lov'd wife of Prussia's heir,

And future Queen.
On this their wedding day
Sing we a joyful lay ;
God bless them both, we pray,
God save the Queen!

FOUR-OARED CUTTER RACE.—A: very well-contested
four-oared race was rowed yesterday morning, over the
course between Putney and Battersea. The competitors
were four members of the Battersea Alliance Rowing Club,
and four gentlemen amateurs, of Wandsworth, the follow-
ing being the result :
The Wandsworth Crew.

Blue .....................................
Mr. Bullen. Mr. Manley.
Mr. Mr. Weston.
r. Carter.
Mr. ichardson, COXBWaill.
The Battersea Club Crew.

/..'

Mr. Alison. Mr. Whitgreave.
White ....................... ..
Mr. Phillips. - I
J. Butcher, coxswain.
The Battersea crew were the favourites, the odds of 7 to
4 being laid, but their opponents won the toss for choice of
station.
They got off very evenly together at a good pace, and in
that position continued rowing till opposite the Feathers,
where Blue drew their stroke thawt level with the nese of
their opponents' boat, and at the White Hart were a clear
length and a-half ahead, where they continued only for a
few pulls, their opponents again becoming nearly level, and
looking as though they were going by them. A fine ding-
dong race then followed to Battersea church, where Blue
gradually left their opponents in their rear, ultimately, on
the completion of the distance, going
in the winners by
about three lengths awl a half.
