AUCTIONS. H. MATSON AND CO. A NEW ZEALAND FARMER'S SOLILOQUY. IT'S GRAND. It's grand to be a squatter, And sit upon a post, And watch the little ewes and lambs Giving up the ghost. It's grand to be a "cockie," With wife and kids to keep, And find an all-wise providence Has mustered all your sheep. It's grand to be a colonist, With shovel in your hand, To dig your little homestead out From underneath the sand. It's grand to be a rabbit And breed till all is blue, And then to die in heaps, because There's nothing left to chew. It's grand to be a shearer Along the mountain side, To pluck the wool from rotting sheep That recently have died. It's grand to be a swagger And sleep in the domain, And wake up every second day And go to sleep again. Oh, it's grand to be a lot of things, In this fair Southern land; But if the Lord would send the rain, By Jove! that would be grand! WHAT ABOUT YOUR STOCK ? WHAT ABOUT YOUR STOCK ?
