MAUD.

Maud Muller on q winters day,
Went out upon the ice TO play.
Beneath her Derby CLEANED her locks
of red banged hair, and her crimson socks
She straddIed about from ten fill two,
And then, q hole in the ice fell through.
On the bottom OF the pond she sat.
As wet and mad as a half drowned rat.
A man with hickory pole went there,
And fished her out with her auburn hair,
And her mother IL said TO have thumped her well
Though just how hard Miss Maud won't tell
And hung her over a stovepipe to dry,
With a thumb In her mouth and fist in her eye
Alas for the maiden; alas. for the hole,
And rah for the man with the hickory pole.

There is, however, nothing to be gained

Dominion. Unless we realize the serious
ness of the trouble we shall search in vain
for the remedy. 1t is an absolute fact that
in the year ending June Goth. 1880. 75,-
439 Canadian settlers entered the United
