who took us to the house told us that
few Canadians seemed to know that
Moore had lived in Canada for aany
months and written a number OF
poems and songs while here. he
quoted The Whlp-poor-wIll,' and said
it was written at Niagara. The old
house of Martin Mcclellan (whO was
killed while saving the guns May II,
1879, now owned by Mr.. Usher, was
the house from which the smoke so
gracefully curIed, for It was the only
house whose chimneys could De seen
from Fort George"
Moore's collected poems contain a
group Of his compositions while In
America, passing through the eastern
states to Buffalo, Niagara falls, Mag
ara, Montreal, Quebec and Halifax.
It is evident from his poems and his
prose Introduction that It was not a
very happy visit, though a poem Ike
THE Canadian Boat Song" is wor-
thy fruit Of his Impressions. When he
took ship at Halifax his fareweil poem
referred 10 Chill Nova SeOtia's I'M
