AUCKLAND ANTS.

! Blest Auckland, the loveliest on earth for a ramble, And doubly endowed m its John Logan Campbell !-.-.' Who blessings has showered on the land he loves best, The land m whose bosom he sometime will rest. His days may seem weary, and long the lone years, But his grave will be wet with a fond people's tears. To the city he loves a benign benefactor, He ne'er made- an enemy ; has. no detractor. Thoueh the eightieth milestone and he lone; since sundered; His admirers hope he will-live to- a hundred.

, He used to own a station, - But the Bank's the owner now He's done with eav elation, But ain't kicking up a row. -

He'll sell you a mine while you buy

him a gin, His roseate smile 'tis assists him to win ;

And his name it is Edwardus Ruddysnout Quin, He's a broth of a fellow, is Quin.

Joe Crair--. the elder, made a pile By toilinn- day and .night,. He died and left it all to Jim, Who's built it out of sight.
