there were the noise of guns and the salute
of IS by the cannon. If the wives of the
officers were present in the Continental
lamps, an elaborate party or dance was
usually arranged. In many of these cele-

OUR POINT OF VIEW.

Is life worth living? Yes. so long
As there Is wrong TO right:
Wall OF the weak against the strong,
Or tyranny to fight.
Long as there fingers gloom 10 chase,
Or cleaning tear TO dry:
One kindred woe. one Borrowing face,
That smiles as we draw nigh.
Long as a tale OF anguish swells
The heart. and lids grow wet,
And at the sound OF Christmas bells
We pardon and forget
So long as faith with freedom reigns.
And loyal hope survives
And gracious charity remains
To leaven lOwly lives.
While there is one untrodden tract
For intellect or Will.
And men are free 10 think and act,
Life is worth living still
ALFRED Austin
