ON LOOKING AT HIS PORTRAIT BY WEIR.
ooper, whose name is with his country’s woven,
First in her files, her Pioneer of mind—
A wanderer now in other climes, has proven
His love for the young land he left behind;
And throned her in the senate-hall of nations,
Robed like the deluge rainbow, heaven-wrought;

As law authority, it passed nem. con.:
He writes that we are, as ourselves have voted,
The most enlightened people ever known:
That all our week is happy as a Sunday
In Paris, full of song, and dance, and laugh;
And that, from Orleans to the Bay of Fundy,
There’s not a bailiff or an epitaph:
