THE UNION JACK WILL CARRY THE DAY.

Httekah, for Old England, the Queen, ami the Crowu ! Lids, give them a ringing co'onial hurray. ■kin) r:>v-»g up tli-; nravlai '.fii-vd inuc fo i mi down Tils iiifc that lis? <l\v«.y" die day. by our brave lather's sworcta through the Muscovite hordes At red Balaclava thac scattered dismiy, Will the colonies stand to tlie old mother land, Ami the flag that has always carried day. Success ever to the Rsd, White, aud Blue ; Wave, wave the old flag with a hip, hip, hurray ! To the old mother land will the colonies stan I, And the flag that has always carried the day. The pin-pricking French jump into a fright, And tremble aud shake with very dismay, If the Lion but opens his mouth for a bite Or growls to frighten their poodle away. Let K'.'iiccr bevvire if lie loves his grey hiir; It's a dangerous game with a L'ou to p'ay ; Let other nations plot, they will yet get it hot From the 11 ig tint has always carried the day. Colonials! with a night and a main, Salute the <>hl II ig wi'h a rousing hurray ! Show the world how we in the Southern Sea Are proud of the Hag that has cirried the day,

If w ae colonials we're Britisher l , too. Aud proudly we think of the land of our birth In our new happy homes 'neatli the Red, White and ll,ue In these bright s'.uiuy climes at the ends of the earth. Yes, loyal and true to the lied, White, and Blue, We live and have prospered under its su ay, And in peace add in war to a man are we for The Hag that has always earned the day

So give one more cheer for the tUg we hold dear— Another loud-ringing colonial hurray, To .show all creation we're part of the nation Wliose flag is the lhg that Ins tarried the day. HeSUV T. IfIiETCUKK. Rati K iti, February, 1899.
