The follow ing Ines commence the annual new
year ode Of the Canancajgua Repository, for the
year 1927. The author. understand, died few
weeks after the date of the address,
Heard We that kneh it was the knell of Time.
And is Time dead thought Time never died
| knew him Old 'tis true, and full If years,
And bald except in font but he was strong
As Hercules - him grasp the oak,
1t fel-the TO" ~, II crunbletl and the stone,
The scnptur'd monument, that mark d the grave
OF fallen greatness, ceas'd its pompous strain
As Time came by. Yes, Time very strong,
And had thought, too strong for death to grapple
But remember now, his step was light;
And though he moy'd at rapid rate, or rid
On aCamant, his tread was never heard.
And there was something ghos'ly in the thought,
That in the silence of the midnight hour,
When all was husil'd as death, and not a sound
Cr"p pit DER my chambers Stiffness or awoke
The echo slumbering there, in such an hour
He trod my chamber and heard him NOT.
And have held my breath and stel,d close,
10 catch one football as he glided by;
But not slunbering sound awoke, or sigh'd.
And the thought struck then, that one whose
step
Was so much Ike spirits tread, whose acts
Were all so noisele IS, Ike the world unseen,
Would soon Be fit for other worlds than this
Fit for high converse with immortal minds
Unetteru by the flesh unchand to earth
Times movements oh how feet and vet how
Still as the morning sun beam, as it SD still
The 5lushing flower, but shook not cen the tears
Of Night, the hngt ring drop from its leaves,
Nor woke the wild-bec slumbeing in its folds.

IRELAND.



Beyond the wide Atlantic, ROBBED IN light
A little Island greets the voyager's sight,
Renowned, in ancient days, for heroes brave,
And still renowned for many hallowed grave.
Luxurlant Plenty clothes the smiling fields,
And Ceres there her richest bounty yields.
Her sons by the productive soil ma n:alned,
Have long to hardy industry been trained
Her temperate cline sudden changes knows,
No summers heat intense, winters SHOWS.
Bereft of Liberty, Of all that's blcst,
The unhappy native seeks in vain for rest;
Still, in his YOUTH he bids hope remain,
That he may yet his Liberty regain,
Boldly he dares the rivalry of strife,
And to his country dedcates his life
But when old age steals on his withered frame,
And he beholds his country's lasting shame,
He drops tear upon his trembling hand,
And seeks refuge in foreign land
Rise, sons of Erin, in your country's cause,
And free yourselves from England's cruel laws
Rise and restore the land that gave you birth,
TO her proud rank among the realms Of earth +!
Join and regain, in one united band
The long lost rights of your much injured land,
Nor let relentless Englands stern decree
Repress again your efforts to be free.
Think on the ancient glory of your land,
To rouse each throbbing soul and nerve each hand
Let Emmet's sacred shade your hearts inspire,
And warm you with his patriotic fire
Then shall your tedious days Of slavery end,
And Peace again her olive wand extend
Then shall your land acquire again the fame
She boosted, long e'er England knew a name
