BY ALFRED WILLIAM WINTERSLOWE DALF, OF TRINITY HALL.
Hail, sons of Britain, scattered through the world
In every land! For where have ye not come,
And coming conquered, wheresoever day
Follows the darkness and the sun the stars ?
Amid the ruins of great empires fallen,
bet we eae standing though the gods be
ead ;
00 | Among new nations struggling into birth,
With the first wonder still fresh in their eyes ; From the vast ice plains of the barren Pole To the rich palm groves of Pacific seas ; From desolation to earth’s loveliest lands We wander, and we make them all our own, And give our flag to float on every breeze, And leave our graves in every shore and sea. But now from echoes of a lingering strife, From mountain ranges wreathed in cannon mist, } Wide plains left desolate, and spread o’er all— Like a fierce storm cloud darkening sunny skies— The shadow of an awful agony, Let us turn westward till the voice of war Dies in the booming surges of the deep. To thee we come ; to thee the latest left And loveliest of our daughters—Canada ! Now ours, and ours alone. The power of France That held thee once is vanished all away; And the fierce strifes are over, and the claims Of angry nations balanced in the beam Of Destiny, and ours is the award. Long months the tide of battle ebbed and flowed Upon the plains and in the pathless woods, The midnight gloom still blossoming into fire, The midnight silence broken by the crash Of cannon or the Indian’s savage cry. Till the steep crags above the city walls Our soldiers scaled, and in the dead of night Heard the deep river murmuring far below, And saw the watch fires of the foe before, Islanded in by death on either side. But now upon the heights in loneliness Stands a grey pillar, telling all the world:— “That here died Wolfe victorious’--nothing more; A hero’s simple tribute; for the words Ring like a trumpet down the vale of years, And echo into ages far away. And thus we won the land, and year by year The nations grew together into one; While the charred ruins mouldered into dust, And trampled corn forgot the soldier's hell; And the sad memories of the bygone strife Faded, as fades a foam-streak in the seca, Or as a star trail in the midnight sky. Then all the tides from the wide Northern world Set toward those happy shores: from every clime Men flocked o’er seas to find themselves a home, Rest after suffering, after peril peace. They came from the drear isle where Fire and Frost Swear lasting truce and band their powers in one To make the land no home for men,—tierce ~ flame In heaven and underfoot the barren snow. Some came from Muscovy, when stern de- crees Had made life there no life for nobler souls, That would not set a mortal on Heaven’s Throne Or bow in fetters at the feet of God. — came from Britain, when the world went i And drove them far o’er seas to seek a home vere the past’s sins and sorrows all should fade, Where Fortune might prove kind, and cloud and storm Sink from their sight into the silent sea And there are some that dwell alone amid The woodland wilderness and earn their bread In solitude, but when the night comes down Look up to heaven and see the selfsame stars They watched in childhood on another shore. And sometimes when the wind is wailing shrill Among the canopy of pines, their life “bbs back again, and they are lads once more, Some Sabbath-day within the little kirk Built of grey stone half hidden in the mist, Father and mother and the childish crew About them, while without the ocean spray Blown from the sea patters upon the panes, And mingles with the music of the m, Bat year by year these memories fade away : They have no children in the far-off land, And home for them lies where their dearest are. Here they have kith and kin and wife and child, And graves of loved ones in Canadian soil. And who but needs must love a land like this, Where every passing hour hath its own charm, And every season its own loveliness ? In winter the pure veil of feathery snow Down floating from the sky in noiseless folds ; In spring the waking music of the air, And the world wavering through a mist of green ; Then in the heat of summer the full leaves And the deep coolness of the woodland dell: And last the forest all ablaze with pomp | And glory of all hues, till cold winds come _And strew the gold about the autumn fields. | Here as we mount and leave the coast below Lake leads to lake, sea opens into sea, ‘Great waters hidden in the land and linked | Together in a sounding babyrinth, : One river-chain still running through them all. _From Northern ice-c spired al pinnacled, | With gable and gargoyle arch and oriel 'And subtlest maze of frosted tracery, Rock-based, rock-roofed, like some fantastic fane Hewn by rough craftsmen in the days of old, ' And buttressed firm against the Northern gales,
From that cold,clime they stretched into the south,
By plain and forest under kindlier skies.
There rise the masses of the gloomy pines
Marshalled together to a solid front
Against the fury of all winds that blow.
| League after league the stately line goes on,
CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1878. DR. CLEMENT,
NO. 345,
With now and then a hollow overhead
Througt: which the light steals trembling, now and then
Some sound amid the solitude,—the crash
Of falling branch or cry of frightened bird,
Westwards and westwards ever till the day
Breaks dim before us, and we stand at last
Upod the prairie rippled by the breeze
To waves, and breaking in a foam of flowers,
Vast hazy reaches sloping far away
To western mountains, where a thousand
peaks Flush to the crimson of the dawn’s first beam, Or sparkle silver splendors to the moon. There rolls the great St. Lawrence to the sea, Sweeping by rapids and by cataract, Whose thunder never hushes, and the cleam Of falling waters lightens night an day ; By islands thickly sown as stars in heaven, Lying like lilies on the river-bed, With clear-cut petals lifted from the wave, A cluster of unnumbered loveliness. There do they dwell and labour ; there the axe Wakes with the warbling lark, and cheerily rings Te livelong day, while the pines shake and | And float into the stream to make their way By lake and river to the distant sea. And there they plough the plain and sow their seed Till the swift seasons make them rich return, While the wide acres giow with golden grain To feed the multitudes of other lands. Thrice happy souls! To whom the passing years Bring little sorrow and light clouds of ill. Far trom the troublous tumult and the storm, Far from the suffering nations ye abide, Tearless and passionless, and there in peace Watch the long days go down into their aves, And catch the dying whisper of the world. Oft times we long amid this jarring life And cruel conflict of our eager age To pass from tumult into calm like yours, And steep our souls in silence once again For the very air we breathe is rank and foul, Thrice moulded into words of shame and loud With sobs of children trampled in the press Of men that rush to clutch the glittering gold. We toil in vain, and our vast wilderness For all our labor thickens hour by hour; And what we fell by day the night restores, Stouter and stronger rising from its fall. And all our seed is scattered on the wind Idly to drift about the sandy sky. Or if some scattered grains have reached the soil, The harvest lingers long, and centuries Are seasons: others reap what we have sown But we are in the struggle, and must stand Steadfast, undaunted at our post, and bear The growing storm. Did we fall, half the world Would make one ruin with us and one wreck. We cannot pass unmissed, as some lone star That in nnbroken silence slips away Or solitary swimmer in the sea, While the calm waves scarce ripple as he sinks. But seek not fame like ours, and go aot forth ee the world’s rough path of power ene; - Still rest contented with a humbler lot. Thy thunder may not labor on the winds, Thine eagles may not wing across the sea ; But _ thou shalt be blessed throughout the When mighty empires be despised and tallen, Go, gather in the nations unto thee ; re Call in the poor from every clime and coast ; Give work to idle hands, and happiness To hearts that sorrow, rest to weary souls, Send e among the nations for a sword. And leave us not, remembering all) the ties That bind us both in one, and bridge the sea. Leave us not yet; and if dark days should come And the shrill trumpet wake the world again, Stand at our side against the haughty foe ; And send thy sturdy woodsman to the fray, Beneath our flag to face the iron hail ; And link thy name with ours on hard-won tields ; One camp for both armies, and one grave, One blazon on the crimson roll of fame.
Enjoy Life.
What a truly beautiful world we live in - Nature gives us grandeur of mountains, glens and oceans, and thousands of means. for enjoyment. We can desire no better when in perfect health ; but how often do the majority of people feel like giving it up disheartened, discouraged and worried out with disease, when there is no occasion for this feeling, as every sufferer can easily ob- , tain satisfactory proof that Green’s August Flower will make them as free from disease. as when born. Dyspepsia and Liver Com- plaint are the direct cause of seventy-five per cent. of such maladies as Biliousness, Indigestien, Sick Headache, Costiveness, Nervous Prostration, Dizziness of the Head, Palpitation of the Heart, and other distress- ing symptoms. Three doses of August Flower will prove its wonderful effect, Sample bottles, 10 cents. Try it.
CompLarnt comes from British Columbia that the Dominion Government is very slack in enforcing the laws there against supplying liquer to Indians. Disorder and license, it is said, prevail on the West coast. and the Indians get all the whiskey they want without much trouble. Wrecks on the coast are not infreqnent, and from almost every vessel wrecked, the Indiang secure large supplies of liquor. As a con- sequence, murders and woundings are fre- quent, and the Dominion Government is urged to perform the duty it undertook when the Province became part of Canada.
A Live mermaid has been caught at last. according to Mr. Wybrow Robertson, whe. announces that the gigantic Manatee, or, West Indian mermaid, is now on exhibi- tion at the Westminster Aquarium. This marine beauty is of elephantine proportions
weighing upwards of half a ton.
