THE TALK OF THE DAY.
NEW-YORK.


Who can resist the glamour of thy ways2
The hurry Of the street and music deep.
To which the throng goes marching ali the days;
The sky's clear blue above the long, straight
sweep
OF tow'rng canyon walls. The light that plays
At morn and misty eve when shadows creep
Along the pave, and twinkling lights abiaze
Shine out from every high walled monarch's keep.
Great city of our pride world apart
Art thou where joy and sorrow meet and heed
Il noti There's guerdon for the rugged heart
In spite of ali the bitterness and greed
Here men are made amid the daily strife.
Here learn the lesson of the noble life.
