DAISY’S WEDDING BELL.

Dear Dot and Little Folk, —You -will rejoice with me at the glad news just to hand concerning the wedding of our esteemed comrade Daisy Primrose. I was in hopes at one time of having this same Daisy Primrose for our fairy godmother, but fairy godmothers do not get married and live happy ever after, do they ? So that dream fades. However, a note I received from her, accompanying a dainty wedding card, is signed as of cid—Daisy Primrose, —so I suppose it’s ail right. Married an’ a’, Daisy is to be ours for all time. And never a sincerer Kia Ora was wafted over a continent than the one accompanying onr wishes for the future happiness of Mr and Mrs Quinlan. Over Austral's sun-kissed mountain® Comes a message clear and bright, Gladdening vale and plain and fountain With its crystalline delight. Ringing, ringing, ever ringing, Soft and low their clamour swells, Joyful tidings southward bringing. Dear old Daisy's wedding bells. O’er Zealandia’s craggy passes, Herald notes of joy thrown. Giving bough and hud and grasses Messages their very own— To be whispered in Australia, Wafted o’er its sunny dells, To the folk in white regalia, Ringing Daisy’s wedding hells. “ Years of peace and joy and gladness, Years of concord, faith, and love, Ne’er a thought of care or sadness,” So the silver bells above. Ring the wish and ring it clearly; . Soft and low their clanging swells, From the hearts that love her dearly. Dear old Daisy’s wedding bells, — Yours truly, BLOND EiL.
