KIPLING ON FRANCE.
Mr Rudyard Kipling had a spirited poem on France in the Morning Post on the day the French President arrived. Here are a few of its lines: Proved beyond the need of proof,' matched in every clime, O companion, we have, lived greatly- . through, all time! Yoked in knowledge and remorse now we come to rest, Laughing at old villainies that Time has turned to jest; Pardoning old necessity no. pardon can efface — That undying sin we shared in Rouen market-place. Now we watch the new years shape, wondering if they hold Fiercer lightnings in their heart than we launched of old. '
