CALEDONIA.

LOOK AT THIS. Land of chivalry and freedom ; Land of old traditional fame ; May thy noble sons and daughters Long uphold their honored name. Land where foreign foes ne'er venture ; Land where tyrant never trod ; v Land whose sons are ever foremost ; / Treading nobly life's high road. f - Land of simple-hearted kindness ; f Land of patriotic worth, f ;• May your virtues ever flourish, ''r'} Hardy clansmen of the North. Land where rest in silent slumbers Ashes, of our honored sires ; May their mem'ries long be cherished si(< * Round their humble cottage fires. . ;". Enthusiast. look at that. Land of ancient bloody tyrants Sneaking traitors, deep and sly ; ; " Land of thieving Hieland teevals, ' Kilted rogues and stolen kye. Land of bibles, kirks, and bastards, Saints and lasses awfu frail, Drunkards, shebeens, godly deacons, Parritch, thistles, brose and kail. . • . Land of canny, carefu bodies, '■:.-■ Foes to all ungodly fun, Those who sum up "man's whole duty" — Heaven, hell — and number one. Land of droning psalms and sermons'; Pawky wit and snuffy bores, Paur-faun chiels— so fond of country That they leave it fast in scores. Critic.
