ADDRESSES IN RHYME.
Hero is one of the addresses in rhyme, nothing
in ITSELF but recited so that the sound more than the
sense reached the ear
Throughout our fair Canadian land
There rises up an anthem grand,
In which, with one single voice,
loyal people all rejoice
The lowly and the high in place.
The sons Of every creed and race.
From stern Newfoundland's coast. dark, steep,
To where Pacifc's waters sweep,
From cabin poor and home of pride,
That welcomes heard on every side
While joy bells peal and cannons
And bonfires blaze from shore to shore.
Gladly each youthful voice we raise
In this grand song OF joy and praise
With loyal hearts your presence greet
Our sweetest flowers stem meath your feet;
With fervent prayers and bows sincere,
Breathed softly in your kindly ear
My Lord, already is thy
Known unto Canada and fame;
On thee do honor, genius smile,
Hope of the great house of Argyll
Winning all hearts by gracious mien,
Fit envoy of our Empress Queen
Oh, loyal lady. can words tell
The thoughts that in our bosoms swell,
On greeting i'll this humble
The daughter OF our well loved Queen
Receiving in our convent walls,
The heart of royal Windsors halls.
All hail in Englands heart enshrined.
In ours cen now with love entwined,
True gifted child of science art
In all their triumphs taking part
Set rich in charms of womanhood,
Gracious and lovely noble, good.
Mid records of convent old.
Will be inscribed in lines of gold
Iustrious guests, this happy day.
Aud ever will our young hearts pray
That peace and bliss and sunshine clear
Surround your rule and sojourn here.
Here another read by perfect coquise Of chila
attired like an ideal Partisan angel
May it please Your Excellency:-.
In fairy tales we have been told
OF princes grand, of wealth untold;
And in our convent circles here
Your names we've learned to revere;
But fancy in her widest fight
Could never soar to such height.
Nor think such joy could e'er be ours
TO Gull for you sweet fragrant flowers
The rose and thistle from our hand
Would reach a viceroy, noble, grand.
Princess royal by his side,
All hearts would hail with noble pride.
The daughter OF our much loved Queen,
4 To grace in person this fair scene
Another read thus:--
All! little children though we are
Your royal names reached us afar,
And in our merry childish glee,
How we did wish your face to see.
And promise in our artless way
How good we'd be and what we'd say;
No scene more gala meet your view.
With flowers of every cline and hue.
Deign. then. our bouquet to receive,
And in its language sweet believe:
In every tongue flowers have spell.
The hearts fond wishes best can tell.
NEAT SPEECH MARQUIS.

extemporaneously to the reception extended to him

VISIT 10 THE ManL UNIVERSITY.
The subsequent visit of Lord Lorne and the prn-
cess Louise TO the McG University does not call for

courtesy.
