We have played brisk frolic round Egean
isles,
Where the fairy of summer perennial smiles
We have climbed the cold brow of the Him
malch hills,
Where the cloud, ere it falls, into ice-moun-
talns chlIs;
we have swept from the Alpine heights, down
on the gale,
The iron-rbbed avalanche, foe to the vale;
We have .leaped round the maelstrom-rock
fearless in glee
We have borne Hecla's lava-fr over the sea
Cold over Greenlands hill,-piled on her SHOWS
We have led the bold traveller to vallies below
We have rocked the huge ice-arches over the
pole;
We have made the ced-adamant LAUNDERING
roll
We have sung tothe exile on Sibirs cold steep
We have lulled him with music in innocent
sleep;
On the rocks of old ocean, far off in the west,
We have piled for the sea-bird her sea weedy
nest;
Der the wastes of Zahara a fiery blast, ,
On the crown of the sand-billow, swiftly we've
passed
We have waved the tall palm upon midas isles
We have kindled the fires Of their funeral piles
We have caused the slim sugar-cane softly to
wave
We have swept the thick sweat from the brow
ofthe slave;
We have traced every distant land over the
earth
And wilt thou, man, now question the place OF
our BIRTH
We have rushed north and south, we have
rushed east and west,
And, presumptuous, thou ask st the place of
our rest
Earth can boast not the land where our first
herald rose
She has seen not the cline where we seek our
repose
True, the heathens aver, and the bards of old
times,
That our king made his home in the casts sun
ny climes,
That he ruled on the Eolian, ooean-washed
isles.
In winter with frowns, and in summer with
smiles.
But, alas! man has trespassed, has leapqd DER
his bounds,
For he knows not, has seen not, our >revelry
grounds
We have built up hall where the rude gaze Of
man
Has neer enter'd, It's structure to tarnish or
sean
It's palace of air, reared away in the sky.
Where, 6 hushed in deep silence, we slumber
and lie;
IT'S there that we seek our Erial repose,
Ere the tempest begins, and again at its close.

Your story, sir, of country school,
Reminds me of my early days,
When was taught 70 learn, by ru}e,
How hard to tread in wisdoms ways.
Our master might be good enough,
Dislike may be a boyish whim;
But, faith, he sometimes us'd rs rough,
| shuddcr now to think of him.
Augustus was the masters name
Unlike the Emperor of Rome,
He card not to extend his fame.
But only tyrannize at home.
A WAC there was,-for wags there are
In village schools, sometimes, | ween,-
Whose artful tricks, the utmost care,
OF pedagogue could not unscreen.
But sagest schemes are brought TO view,
Zen politicians sometimes doubt
And thus our luckless urchin, too,
On one occasion was found out
Then, triumph beaming in his eye,
Augustus caught his brchen rod,
Assumd his lofty seat on high
The culprlt trembled at his nod
Sirrah I've caught you then, though late !;
Attend, and hear my Just decree,
Choose you the name that most you hate,
Thine own is far too good for thee
I'D rather not, - the culprit said
You shall, or leave the house instead >
why, sir, then if then if must,
Augustus is the very worst
