A CURE FOR MELANCHOLY. If I had swift Mercury’s pinion. I would start with the dawning of daj # And Uy with the “Graphic” o’er all th* Dominion, Where civilization h Ids sway. It would lighten the darkness of sorrow, Bring laughter in place of a tear To the rich; while the poor man to-morrow Would sooner have it than his beer. M. MURDOCH. THE ARBITRATION ACT. Swiftly, with death-dealing pinion, The motion of Hickey, to-day. Has rid this island Dominion, Of an Act which for years has held sway. This Act caused employers much sorrow, But Labour? Why, never a tear; And the miner who’s working to-morrow Will be found weeping over its bier. —P. R. BARKER, LONGINGS FOR BEER. 1 soared on aimless pinion. Which 1 regret to-day. To this prcMibited Dominion, Which will surely cease to sway. Although I’m full of sorrow, 1 will not shed a tear; I’ll bo out of it to-morrow. Where 1 will get my beer. WM. ISBISTEB A REMOTE lIOPE. New’ Zealand! trim thy best-behaviour pinion. To tty aloft in aeronautic day, And under thy new ••nont de guerre,” Dominion, Prepare to still ex I end thy world wide sway. When evolution puts an end to sorrow. And wipes away from every eye the ttWi r. Thy denizens, on some remote to-morrow. No more will be devoted to the beer! POLITIC-CUSS. AN ANTI SOCIALIST S REVERIE. I feel admonished by thought s silent pinion That we're swiftly nearing an evil day; As the trend of things in this fair Dominion (Whofc doctrines Socialistic hold the sway), Will steep our future in bitter sorrow; And cause Philanthropy to shed a tear, O’ei the blighted prospects of a sad to-mor-row. When Freedom lies expiring on her bier! NEVILLE J. BROWNER. A DEAD BIRD.” There’s a bird that with dark, baleful piftlon. Would shut out the brightness of day. What Is it? Wide o'er (he Dominion It seeks to establish its sway Prohibition, disaster and sorrow! I guess we shou'd ne’er sited a tear. Though that bird were stiff, stone dead tomorrow. And ‘wo ali were, like it, ‘‘on the beer’* (bior)! J.S.Ke ' COMPARISONS. Like a bird without a pinion, Or a night without a day. Or a king without dominion. Or a pemlmum without sway. Or good nows that ma'/es one sorrow* Or. glad eye dimmed with a tear. Or the good deeiks done tomorrow, Is a man without his BEER. ARNOLD HARE. CAMPBELL B A NN ERM A N. (Written on the day after his death. f At half mast is tbnvn the pinion (?pennon) of each loyal one to-day. For throughout Hie now Dominion Death's dark shadow holds its sway.
