The clipping Oft the tailor's shears,
The driving of the awl-
These sounds of industry,

The clicking of the magic type,
The earnest talk of men,
The toiling of the giant press,
The scratching OF the pen.
The tapplngs of the yard stick,
The tinkling of the scales,
The whistling OF the needle,
when no bright check Is pitle,)
Tho humming of the cooking-stCvc,
The surging Of the broom,
The pattering feet of childhood,
The housewives busy hum,
The buzzing of the scholars,
The teachers kindly call
The sound of active industry,

The huslker's joke and catch of glec
Meath the moonlight ON the plain
