FOR A THAT"
BY FERDINAND FREn.lGRATH.

A famous heat we had in March,
In spite of snow and a that:
Though summer suns the meadows parch
lis cold in June for a that
For a that and a that.
Berlin's revolt and a that,
A nasty, numbing winter wind
Is freezing us for a that.
Reactions bitter blast is blown
With mildew, blight, and IA that:
King Capital is on his throne.
And sits secure for a that,
For a that and a that,
Blood-guiltiness and a that,
He sits secure, and treads us down
Beneath his feet for a that
The arm, that gave us tother day
The victory and a that,
They taking quietly away,
With pike and blade and a that,
For a that and a that,
In spite of rights and "a that,
It's we must lose our swords, and lay
Our guns aside for a that
Our hearts are high with hope, God wot,
ANA all aflame FOR that
In every breast sits anger hot,
And keeps us warm for a that.
For a that and a that
Ais one to us for a that:
We shrug our sides:-"A nasty wind,
But nothing worse for a that"
If Parliament should play the fool,
Professor-wisc, for a that;
Or if the Dell the roast should rule
With hoof and horns and a that;
For a that and a that,
In spite OF knaves and a that,
Right well we know the Peoples Cause
Shall triumph yet, for a that.
Then cram your mortars more and more
With Jumps of lead and a that;
We hold the ground we held before,
Nor yield a jot for a that.
For a that and a that
What though We prove, for a that,
Far craftier yet than e'er of yore,
Twill help ye nought for a that
Then tread us underfoot, and be
The upper class and a that:
No gentlefolk, but men are we,
The man $ man for a that.
For a that and a that,
Yell make us slaves and a that?
s?-Nay. Sirs, we shall yet be free;
The world is ours for a that.

PERSIAN WORKM EN-.
Their Primitive Working Tools and system
OF Work.

What implements they uWd in ancient
times we know not; but to-day the Per-
sian artisan has neither rule, compass
nor spirit-lcvel. He is commonly igno-
rant of the fact that the diameter is the
third of the circumference; his gimletS
and augurs are prods turned by n bow
string; he has no hatchet, but only an
adzc, and no carpenters bench. If he
desires to plane a board, he puts it on
the ground; and if he would saw a
block of wood he squats on the ground
himself and holds il between his toes,
drawing the saw towards himself.
Wood is scarce. and with such tools hard
to work. If pillars arc to be con-
structcd, the trunks of poplars are
raised and simply stripped of their
branches and bark. They may be
crooked, but that matters not; the mas
ter workman tells his subordinate to
shape the timber into an elegant pillar
with g0ich. Depending only on his eve
and the skill of his hand. this simple
artisan applies to the plaster round the
trunk in the form of a iluted pillar and
crowns it with a graceful capital and
cornice. showing lively inventive
fancy. If Judged by the strict applica-
tiQn of rule and compass, these decora-
tiOns may sometimes deviatc slightly
from a straight line. but of the ar
tistic beauty of the conception there
can be no question. Wall and ceilings

fringed. or rather frayed, edges. On
the flag is steel engraving of Notre

Louis David Riel. On the reverse of
