"TIlose thee, Tam lost"
Shine on thou bright beacon,
Unclouded and free,
From thy high place of calmness.
o'er life's troubled sea;
Its morning of promise,
Its smooth seas are gone,
And the pillows rave wildly
Then, bright one, shine on,
The wings of the tempest
May rush DER thy ray,
But tranquil thou smilest,
Undimm'd by its sway;
High, high, DER the worlds,
Where storms are unknown,
Thou dwellest, all beauteous,
All glorious, alone.
From the deep womb of darkness,
The lightning flash leaps,
Ger the bark of my fortune,
Each mad bilow sweeps;
From the port of her safety
BY warning winds driven,
And no light Ger her course
But yon lone one OF Heaven.
Yet fear not thou frail one,
The hour may be near,
When Cur own sunny headlands,
Far off shall appear:
When the voice of the storm
Shall be silent and past,
In some Island of Heaven
We anchor at last.
f,ut bark of Eternity.
Where art thou now !
The tempest-wave shrieks
Ger each plunge of Thy prov,
On the worlds dreary ocean
Thus shattered and tost--
Then lone one shine on,
If lose thee Pm lost.

When powers departed;
When Freedom rears her crest

Freedoms bright flag shall spread,
To be turl'd never!

Where be welcome guest

Written by Gentleman of the Clan: Music by Mr.,
Knapon, of York, and dedicated Miss Barbara Murray
M'Gregor
Though the Pine has lowered green the hills Of
fame,
Without yielding branch in our bonnetsto wave,
Through years when twas treason breathe the proud
name, 9
That long line Of death-daring warriors gave
Yet now the dark cloud of oppression is past,
And Clan Gfegor shall be strong the blast.
Again we shall start the tall stag from the lair
And strike the coy Plarmigan down from the height
(" Again shall we mngle at rcvel and fair"
As Fathers wont in the days of their might
And again shall the blue eyes of Beauty confess
That the dark of Gregor their fontncsa bless
And what though no longer the Clans as Of yorc,
Find home in the dells by their Chiefs frowning
Towers,
Well gather, now, from each far distant shore,
Round the scarcovered Hero we welcome as ours,
Not yielding the homage Of fawnng fear,
For the hearts of Clan GyegOr beat high fir him here.
Then fill every wne-ctlp full as each heart,
To our Chief and his fady-loye, pledge we the first,
For the Heir Of ~ G1egor next votiye part,
Let the loud shouts Of rapture and rcvclrv burst
And curse OH the Caitiif who first brings !, stain
On the name Of Clan Gregor thus honored again.

about IA years OF age, assisting in the taking

The stake entered her body, passed up the rectum,
and came ou Of the LETT side near the breast, that
She was completely transHxed upon It. The stake
was so attached to others by the rave OF the Cart,
as that it could not be removed until the others
we've broken off when ii was forced from its socket
in the cart and the girl carried out OF the barn be-
fore it could be exticated from her. During oil
which time the girl held by the top Of The stake
which had passed through her side. sufficient Tor
