Thi' woes of the "People's Railway" Ile held up to public shame, A government weak and shiftless Must shoulder the cost and blame, The firing of honest Liberals Was makiug bis poor heart bleed, And the thence of hie dirge .was Outelius And the chorus was Cochrane and Reid. The House never stirred in its slum ber As the torrent of words babbled on, For never was drug half so potent As the ramblings of Emmerson, And the thought it came stealing o'er me As I gazed on the scene with a tear If silence is golden, then Henry Must lose quite a sum in a year.
