The Heart of the Hills.

There's a wonderful country lying
Far off from the noisy town,
Were the wildflower swings
And the Nctry Sings,
And the tumblinE brooks come down.
''CiS the land of light and Of laughter,
Where peace all the woodland fills,
It's the land that lies
Meath the summer skies,
In the heart OF the happy hills.
The road t. that wonderful country
4 leads ont from the gates Of care,
And the tired feet
In the dusty street
Arc longing to enter there.
Nnd Il voice from that land IS calling
In the rush of thousand nils.
Come away, away
To the woods today.
To the heart of the happy hills.
Ear away in that wonderful country
Where the clouds are always blue,
I'm the shadows cool.

We may put on strength anew.
we may drink from the magic fountains
Where the wine of life diStills
And never a care
Shall find us there,

that his speech of acceptance on that
occasion was reported in that excel

Argus, as follows:
