FAREWELL TO NIAGARA.
I've ranged DER Alpine mountains,
Pve strayed by Ganges' streams,
I've drank Of cooling fountains,
In Thibet's sultry beams.
Some charm in art or nature,
Eve met whereer Pve roamed,
But none in form or feature,
The mind, like thee, confound.

TRIP TO THE FALLS.

FALLS.
Pye been roamng-Pve been roaming,
Where the mighty waters fall
And I'm going-and I'm going,
To describe their beauties all
Pve passed beneath the torrents foam,
Cave of the winds also,
Have heard the Rapids rushing down,
Which cause the Falls below
Behed where Patch his leap did take,
From off platform high;
Wound up the steps, took ice and cake,
Time passed most pleasantly.
Crossed DER the stream to British land,
Another view to see,
On Table Rock took my stand,
OH had wingsto flee!
Goat island, too W it'll bridge across,
Its natural curiosities
Stuffed birds and beasts-quartz-islan moss,
And all such like monstrosities
I've been roaming-Tve been roaming
Round Niag'ras full extent,
And I'm coming, and Pm coming,
To the end-my news is spent
