with astOnishment when he sees FOE

OUR BOYS.


For bubbline laugh, and curbisss gisA
For mischief ard disbierie.
And drum and trumpet noisei
In frolic still TO take part.
Zen though il break a mothers heart
Boys viii be boys.
For sport or fight for grit. or vim;
Endurance like the Anakim,
And Cyclopean noise;
For tireless toll, to win prize,
And camp in fields of victories,
Boys Will be boys.
Must tropic Cuba be annexed,
Or our Dominion neighbors vexed.
With Fenian fuss and noisef
Or tigers rrnled In a pen.
Or lion bearded in his den?
Boys will be boys.
Is there call for volunteers,
10 break colt, or YOKE OF steers,
At risk Of corduroys?
To fight, at testy Honer's breath,
Or for a woman. to the death?
Boys will be boys.
v hen ruthless war stalks thro' the land,
With bayonet ami hrebrand,
And welkip-splitting noise,
In front you'll find the youngsters them
The Nations boys are the Nations men,
God bless the boysl

If you want TO live to "A good old age, do
not buy or try to drive n horse that has
ever belonged to the fire department A
friend who comes into market three times
week some time ago got such "a horse, aud
