Angus McTavish said that he was
'no man glen tao cheenges; but he
cudna swallay the auld fogy system

it was gruesome SIGHT to be for

Job Periwinkle and Jim Tintrum-
pet both believed in changes.
DR.. Dryhash said that all nature
was subject to change, and that
changeis continually going on every
where and in all the elements of our
| globe. For himself he liked change
of diet, change of air, and a change
of clothing.
Dick Blunt thought u "changc
of editors in the sanctum
of the footing Rag" could
do no harm, and the change of
government would come in the natu-
raj turn of events. 1t is now near
the change of moon, and we may
look out for developments in the
office of the footing Rag.
Capt. Chowder said he could not
get along without change of wind
at times, although there was little
change of scenery on salt water. He
believed, however, in strong auto
crat kind of government, the same
as he had aboard his ship. When
he shipped German or English
sailor he allus whipped the nastiness
out of him, before he could get him
really good man. but lie allus
made him what he wanted in the
end--they were all subject to
change"
Rev. A. Whangbuster was every
glad at the change which had taken
place in this meeting, 1t was so
much more pleasant than the last
two or three meetings; and he
thought, as nothing of very i'm
portant nature is to come up at this
sederunt, it might be as well to pass
the remainder of the time in the So
cial harmony of song. He would
give the tirst:-
There's evil in speaking and think
ing,
Evil in ranting and roaring;
There's evil in scowling and winking,
Evil in grooming and snoring.
The actions of men are all sinful,
And life is burden of sorrow;
Elixir OF life is when ginfull,
Remorse is the payment to-mor.

Mr.. Angus McTavish "thocht the
reeverent gentleman's song vera
true, but no vera bonnie. He wad
try ane himself, although he cudna
say he had ony voice or tune tao

Our liberty floats in the air,
Its seconds are heard in the wind
Ilka adult and child has share
That permeates body and mind.
The first inspiration we draw,
Is for freedom and liberty's cause
An liberty floats DER us a.
Gift we only wad study laws"
The Rev. DR.. Dryhash though
that song was more of an American
inspiration than European, although
he had heard of Wallace and Tell
but at the same time he had heard
of Rob Roy being horse thief, ant
