The Canary at Church,

They were singing good old London,
As the evening, cool and sweet,
Drllted with purple shadows
A1own the city street.
Round every ehurch's window
The lusty ivy chung ;
The red, faint sunshine flickered
Its matches leaves among.
The dim nave, with its arches
And clustered pillars rare,
Had echoed 10 the cadence
OF the pale recior's prayer.
Aud now. through tender silence,
The thrilling llute-notos rang
And sweet as angels voices
The rare old tune they sang.
When sudden, 10 appearing
On carving quaint aud old,
Like fair estray from heaven,
Fluttered speck OF gold.
On to the lecturn flying,
Up TO the bishops chair,
With clear notes soaring, chanting
His wondrous yespers there.
Full rolled the singing voices,
Yet sweeter, richer, higher,
Gods silver. throated chorister
Outsang the trained choir.

/" A Roland for an Oliver"

Roland and Oliver were two of the
most famous in the lists OF the Pala.
dins of Charlemagne. Roland, or Or
lando, is represented In the chronicles
of these times as the nephew of that
great monarch, and his adventurers
are related in the fabulous chronicles
of Turpin. The Epics of Boiardo (Or-
lando Inamorati, and of Ariosto (Or-
lando Furioso) also relate TO him,
while Sir Walter Scott in his "Mar.
mion alludes to both in these lines :
oh for a blast q that dread horn,
On Fontarabian echoes born,
Which 20 King Charles did come;
when Roland brave and Oliver,
Aud every paladin aud peer,
On Roncesyalles died.
The exploits of these heroes of an
cient chivahy (the battle of Ronces
wales was fought A. ID. 77S) were rem
dered so extravagant by the old 70
mancers, that from this arose the say
ing, among our own plain and NOR
prosaic ancestors, of giving one "a Ro
land for an Oliver" to signify tn
matching OF one incredible story 0
adventure with another.
