And when you saw his chariot but appear, Have you not made a universal shout, 1 That Tiber trembled underneath her banks, To hear the replication of your sounds Made in her concave shores ? And do you now put on your best attire? And do you now cull out a holiday? And do you now strew flowers in his way, That comes in triumph over Pompey’s blood? Be gone! Run to your houses, fall upon your knees, Pray to the gods to intermit the plague That needs must light on this ingratitude. Class 4—RECITATION (Gentlemen.) NAPOLEON’S TOMB. A little while ago I stood by the grave of the old Napoleon—a Magnificent tomb of gilt and gold, fit almost for a dead Deity—and gazed upon the sarcophagus of black marble, where rest at last the ashes of that restless man. I leaned over the balustrade, and thought about the career of the greatest soldier of the modern world. I saw him walking upon the banks of the Seine, contemplating suicide; I saw him at Toulon; I saw him putting down the mob in the streets of Paris; I saw him at the head of the army in Italy; I saw him crossing the bridge of Lodi, with the tricolour in his hand; I saw him in Egypt, in the shadows of the Pyramids; I saw him conquer the Alps, and mingle the eagles of France with the eagles of the crags; I saw him at Marengo, at Ulm, and at Austerlitz. I saw him in Russia, where the infantry of the snow and tho cavalry of the wild blast scattered his legions like winter’s withered leaves. I saw him at Leipsic, in defeat and disaster; driven by a million bayonets back upon Paris; clutched like a wild beast; banished to Elba. I saw him escape and retake an empire by the force of his genius. I saw him upon the frightful field of Waterloo, where chance and fate combined to wreck the fortunes of their former king. And I saw him at St. Helena, with his hands crossed behind him, gazing out upon the sad and solemn sea. I thought of the orphans and widows he had made, and of the tears that had been shed for his glory, and of the only woman who had ever loved him, pushed from his heart by the cold hand of ambition. And I said I would rather have been a French peasant, and worn wooden shoes; I would rather lived in a hut, with a vine growing over the door, and the grapes growing purple in the kisses of the autumn sun. I would rather have been that poor peasant with my loving wife by my side, knitting as the day died out of the sky, with my children upon my knees, and their arms about me. I would rather have been that man, and gone down to the tongueless silence of the dreamless dust, than to have been that imperial impersonation of force and murder, known as Napoleon the Great. Class I—SHAKESPEARIAN RECITATION. (Amateurs Ladies)' CONSTANCE ON AN IGNOBLE PEACE. (From King John). A wicked day, and not a holiday!—What hath this day deserved, what hath it-done, that it in golden letters should be set among the high tides, in the kalandar? Nay, rather turn this day out of the week; this day of shame, oppression, perjury. But on this day, let seamen fear no wreck, no bargains break, that are not this day made; this day, all things begun come to ill end; yea, faith itself to hollow falsehood change! You have beguiled me with a counterfeit, resembling majesty, which, being touched and tried, proves valueless: you are forsworn, forsworn; you came in arms to spill mine enemy's blood, but now in arms you strengthen it with yours. The grappling vigour and rough frown of war is cold in amity and painted peace, and our oppression hath made up this league: arm, arm, you heavens, against these perjured kings! a widow cries; be husband to me, heavens! Let not the hours of this ungodly day wear out the day in peace; but, ere sunset set armed discord ’twixt these perjur’d kings! War!

BEST.) * “I mean to light a candle,” Said little Ted to me, "And set it in the window So Santa Claus can see.” “And then, I’m sure and certain, When he beholds the light He’ll try to find our chimney, However dark the night.” Forthwith the torch was lighted. And set upon the sill To warn the Saint of Christmas That here were socks to fill. He must have seen the signal, For sure as you were born Our little Ted’s two stockings Were full on Christmas morn! Class 6—GIRLS, under 9. OFF TO POPPY LAND. The first train leaves at six p.m. For the land where the poppy blows, And mother dear is the engineer, And the passenger laughs and crows. The palace car is mother’s arms, The whistle, a low, sweet strain; The passenger winkß and nods and blinks, And goes to sleep in the train. At eight p.m. the next train starts For the poppy-land afar; The summons clear falls on the ear—- “ All aboard on the sleeping car! ” And what is the fare to -poppy land ? I hope it is not too dear. The ( fare is this: a hug and a kiss, And it’s paid to'the engineer. Class 2—SHAKESPEAREAN RECITATION (Gentlemen). JULIUS CAESAR ’(Act I. Scene I). Marullus. Wherefore rejoice? What conquest brings he home? What tributaries follow him to Rome, To grace in captive bonds his chariot-wheels ? You you stones, you‘worse than senseless things! Oh, you hai-d hearts, you cruel men of Rome, Knew you not Pompey? Many a time and oft Have you climb’d up to walls and battlements, To towers and windows, yea, to chimney-tops, Your infants in your arms, and there have sat The live-long day, with patient expectation, , To see great Pompey pass the streets of Rome:
