Robert Burns although found in his works. The
arc inscribed to u HASD ORGAN, and are written onl
from memory.
Out your noise blasted wight.
That break me sumbers ilky night,
A grinding your tunes for very spite,
Through thick and thin,
You'd make a christian
Swear outright to hear your din.
There is music in your din,
With sic a discori We begin,
Ye Jar the very windows IN;
Why, tortured tune,
II murder be deadly sin,
You'll rue it soon
Could We but ken the pangs feel
To lay and list your cursed squeal
We wad grind another peal
So harsh and deep,
But gang in pity to the dell
And let me sleep.
To please the deli, old Orphcus played
And for his wife in fd'ling paid;
On dophins tail Orion rode the pillows stripping;
Bath drew the oaks from hill to glade,
By dint Of piping.
But ye wad do things greater still.
Y our noise would drown u water mill;
You'd scare the woods and split the hills,
Sac great your power,
And any mortal wight, you'd kill in half an hour
But If We had PRAYER SPELL
Nor Wilma stop that croaking yell,
For n poor bard to sing tell,
Or any boon,
I'll try if brick bats
Can't avail to change your tune.

talk of, it is q hundred chances to one that he
speaks of himself; it is thus so many good sort of
people are unconsciously intruding on their ac-
quantances personal concerns and domestic de-.

ings. 1t is very observable to see when two mag
mates Of this class meet, how their peculiari,ies
clash and strive for the mastery; nor are their
subsequnt criticisms on the filings of each other

Oh, Time is grave old man
His form is bent with the weight of years
Years that are laden with human tears;
For ah do not all dread time
The locks on his brow thin and grey,
While his sharp, shrill voice doth seem to say
"a solemn old man is Time ~
Oh, Time is gay old man.

Where the lizard sports and owiet calls
Through the night weary time!
A powerful lord of wide domains.
Where ives creep and the midcw stain;
How they work for gay old Time
All, Time 10 n fierce " wan,
He breathcs, and 10 on the fairy brow
The white dcws Of Ed sprinhled now;
And he laughs, doth fierce old Time
The light hath passed from the brilliant eye;
Mourners tramping steady by:
List ! tits the march of old Time
Time is a lonely old man!
Nor kindred friend, nor lover hath he:
But like rock in dreary sea,
Alone, all alone is Time
Wherever he lists, he builds home,
And there the lone wind is to come.
And sing, and sing to old Time
