How CrRUs LAID THE CABLE-A BALLAD.

How CYRUs LAID THE CABLE-A BALLAD.
The laying of the first Atlantic Cable occasion
ed the following ballad in praise of tho "ccurage
faith and zeaf' of the protector. The eulogy i:
now better deserve Q than ever:
Come listen all unto my song,
1t is no silly fable;
'Tis all sbout that ighty cord
They call the Atlantic Cable.
Brave Cyrus Field, he said, says he,
have pretty notion,
That can run = telegraph
Across the Atlantic Ocean.
Then all the people laughed. and said:
They'd like to see him do i'll
He might get half seas ovor, buf
lie never could get through it.
To carry out his foolish plan
lie never would bo able;
He might as we'll go hang himself
With his Atlantic Cable.
But Cyrus was a valiant man,
A fellow Of decision,
And heeded not their mocking words,
Their laughter and derision.
Twice did his bravo efforts fail,
And yet his mind was stable,
lie want the man to break his heart
Because he broke his cable.
"Oncs more! my gallant boy.!' he cried,
"Three times!-you know he fable!"
(Pd make it thirty muttersd he,
But l will lay the cableD
Once more they !-hurrah!
What means this great commotion!
The Lord be praised!-the cables laid
Across the Atlantic Ocean!
Loud ring the bells; for flashing through
six hundred league. of water,
Old Mother En- glands bsnison
Sautos her eldest daug btcr
Now long live President and Queen;
And long live the g liant Cyrus
And may his courage, ftth and zeal
With emulation fire us!
And may We honor evermore
The manly. bold and stable,
And tell our sons - ~ make them brave
How Cyrus laid the cable!
