Oh, worldI dear world-at last my dream

Oh, Worldl dear World-at last my dream
is true,
Through all eternity I've longed for you,
Impatient of the years had to wait,
Each nerve aquiver, lest be too late.
And now I'm here-and all of you are
mine
For my brief reign Yet, also, am thine.
For use-abuse-but treat me as you may
Remember this-Pll give and take away.
And but this moment born-but half awake,
Elltell you now whatl'll both give and take.
I'll take a life from out you here and there.
I'll give--a lover true-a sweetheart fair.
Half of your fondest hopes I'll steal away,
I'll grant grain of wisdom day by day.
And tho, perchance, | should take Peters
all,
With lavish hands I'll shower it on Paul,
I'll smite some of you with an iron glove,
I'll nurse some others with my tenderest
love,
I'm both your queen and slave. I now
make way.
This night is yours. Tomorrow you'llrepay.
Bring forth the testers. Fill the cup Of
cheer.
You've waited me forever. World. I'm
here.

The ancient city Of Utrecht, some
twenty odd miles from Dutch Amster-

of an international congress Of large
importance to both the old world and
the new, though we of today may have

petual separation of the crowns Of
France and Spain. but we see Of

Protestant succession to the British
crown: the enlargement Of the British
colonies on this western side Of the
Atlantic, by the cession to England of
Hudson's Bay, Newfoundland. and that
Acadia, immortalized In LOngfellow's

Queen Anne. Spain also lost the
Netherlands to Austria.
