"“CANADA’S WELCOMB”—A MASQUE.

The History of Canada Allegori- cally Represented.

[ CONTINUED. ]

Then came Ontario, habited in a white dress, with the cross of St. George, and green maple leaves embroidered thereon ; her head- dress being of autumnal maple leaves and eorn, emblematic of her agricultural wealth, and this was her sorg of welcome :—

(Soxa—OnTARIO. )

This is the greeting Ontario bears for thee, Daughter of England and Canada’s pride ;

Fain would she show thee how fondly she

cares for thee; ; Cares for the land for which sons of hers

died.

Commerce shall honor thee, throned in her

palaces ; Art stretch out hands that a sister may press ; Knowledge shall pour for thee wine from her chalices ; fs Science shall greet thee ; Religion shall bless.

‘* Onward” our motto is; onward still steadily; Strong in the strength of an honest right

arm ;

Nature, besought, gives us, freely and readily,

Orchard and neadow-land, cornfield and farm.

Firm and enduring as mountain and sky may

Broad as Superior’s turbulent sea ; Strong as Niagara, God grant the tie may be, Binding the friendship we offer to thee.

Her song being ended, one habited to repre- sent Prince Edward Island, being clad in the raiment of a sturdy farmer, advanced and sung a song in praise of unity.

{Sona—Prince Epwarp Istanp.)

The thistle, rose, and maple leaf Their grace and strength combine; The shamrock, too, its dainty stem, With theirs is proud to twine. And this the motto of the friends Their motto aye shall be: ‘« Who dares to touch the friends I love, Must meddle first with me.”

Through sun and storm the kindly four, United, strong shall grow,

And free from selfish aims at home, Need fear no other foe ;

And none shall ever cut the link That gives them unity :

Their motto shall unchanging stand, Just ‘‘meddle first with me.”

The glorious buds that deck the rose May tempt the lust of thieves,

And robber hands may long to grasp The maple’s golden leaves.

The thistle, and the shamrock too, Are fair, as all may see,

But fairer still their motto stands, Just ‘‘meddle first with me.”

Then did Canada call upon those about her for a song to tell the pleasures of the jolly winter time.

(RecrratrvE—CAnNaDa.)

Have none amongst ye voice or song to tell Old Winter's charms, the charms we know so well.

And thereupon, from the crowd about her, certain, clad in blanket coats and tuques, with snow-shoes at their backs, came forward and sang right sweetly.

(Wixter Sone.)

When the icicles hang from the boughs and the eaves,

And the frost on the window its tracery weaves ;

When the snow fills the woods where no birds ever sing,

Then you may tell that old Winter is king.

Old Winter is king; and his subjects well know

The joys and the pleasures that come with the

snow. pi ing, sing. cheerily sing ! Merry the land where old winter is king.

How the bells of the sleighs in the clear frosty air

Seem to sing as they ring ‘‘Now away with dull care |” :

And the bonny girl-faces that Canada grows,

Fur-covered, snow-crested, outrival the rose.

Though rivers are frozen and trees are not green,

Old winter and Cupid are cousins, I ween.

Sing, sing, cheerily sing ! Merry the land where old Winter is king

Then hurrah for tobeggans! A fine starry night ;

And a jolly big moon, with its beams clear and bright.

Ready Pll ready ! Away then we go,

And we rush like the wind down the slope of the snow.

Oh! light are the hearts that fly down with the wind :

Who ride a toboggan leaves trouble beh ind.

Sing, sing, cheerily sing ! Merry the land where old Winter is king.

(Trr0.)

Forget not thou the poor and needy In the wintry wind.

So shall thy fireside grow warmer, As thy heart grows kind.

(QUARTETTE. )

Blow, wintry breezes, blow ! O’erlay our land, cold snow! Freeze lake and river, frost ! Thine is but labor lost.

For, though our skies be chill, Hearts yet beat warmly still.

For spring-time shall come again, Sunshine and April rain ;

Buds shall blossom, birds shall sing After winter cemes the spring.

Then one, dresaed as a miner, to imperson-

ate British Columbia—wearing a red shirt with | cash

heavy boots, a revolver being in his belt, and having a pick on his shoulder and a hag of gold in his hand—advanced and sang.

(British CoLUMBLA, )

From the ‘‘Mountain Land” come I, Land of peaks that touch the sky ; Mighty crags, whose giant feet

The Pacific waters meet.

Land whose summer sees the snow Swell the torrents far below ; Where the rain-cloud ever breaks, Rushing down to soundiess lakes. Eagle, lynx and gri bear,

Lords of all, holds mastery there.

-_——— Now, a strange and ancient race Sees a new world fill its place.

Through the canyons from the west

Comes a foot that knows no rest ;

O’er the Eastern mountain bar,

Comes the stranger from afar—

Comes the white man, strong and bold,

Seeking for the yellow gold :

Grasping with his greedy hands

Precious grains from golden sands ;

Rending from the stubborn rocks

Treasures hid ‘neath mighty locks.

Over all the ceaseless beat

Of the stamp mill’s iron feet ;

While the thunders of the mines

Wake wild echoes through the pines, This my story, mark it well, For the echoes clearly tell That, beneath the present strife, Throbs a new and mighty life : And Columbia’s name shall be Yet renowned in history.

The scene is laid in Spain, amid all the accessories of grave and gay, love and chivalry, poetry and song, with room for the display of many types of character,—knights and ladies, priests and soldiers, courtiers and cooks and clowns. Many lyrics in the author’s best style are interspersed in the dialogue, which is, in general, quaint and sparkling.
