stIstt 4oetrp,
TO MY COAT.

pRoM THE FRENCH OF BrRANoER.
Though hardly worth one paltry groat,
Thou art dear TO me, my poor old coat;
For full ten years my friend thou'st been
For full ten years I've brushed thee clean
And now, like me, thou'rt old and wan,
With both, the glow Of youth is gone;
But worn and shabby as thou art,
Thou and the poot shall not part,
Poor coat.
I've not forgot the birthday eve
When frs. donned thy glossy sleeve,
When jovial friends, in manting wine,
Drank Joy and health to me and mine.
Our indigence let some despise,
We're deac ss over in their eyes;
And for their sakes, old as thou art,
Thou and the poet shall not part,
Poor coat.
One evening, remember yet,
!, romping, feigned to fly Lisettej
She strove her lover TO retain,
And thy frail skirt was rent in twain.
Dear girl, she did her best endeavor,
And patched thee up as well as ever
For her sweet sake, old as thou art,
Thou and the poet shall not part,
Poor coat.
Never, my coat, hast thou been found
Bending thy shoulders to the ground
From any upstart "Lord" or "Grace,"
To beg pension or place.
Wild forest fowers-nO monarch's dole
Adorn thy modest button-hole;
II but for that old as thou art,
Thou and the poet should not part,
Poor coat.
Poor though we be, my good old friend,
No gold thall bribe our backs TO bend
Honest amid temptations past,
We will be honest to the last
Far more | prize thy virtuOus rags
Than all the lace courter brags;
And, while l live and have heart,
Thou and the poet shall novpart,
Poor coat.

ear and shouted again, 1--WE want to know
where you ars hurt"
Pat, evidently finding that if the bonn
bardment continued much longer he
would have to strike his flag anyhow, con-
cluded to do so at once, and accordingly,
with face as rosy as 1oiled lobster, and
with angry kind Of energy, he replied
