THE SCHOOL READER OF LONG AGO Continued Prom Page 1 keep time," or in a far-off land, the same senti- ment appears in Mrs. Norton's, "The Arab and His Steed," -- "Who said that I had given thee up, who said that thou wert sold? 'Tis false, 'tis false, my Arab steed, 1 fling them back their gold." Also, in a distant arena, in "The Solitudecall,— of Alexander Selkirk," most of our readers will readily re - I ani monarch of all I survey; My right there is none to dispute, From the centre all round to the sea I am lord of the fowl and the brute". Should you have had even the most elemental legal training, you could hardly fail to recognize the humour of the verdict in Case Num- ber One of "The Disputed Case" of friend Cowper,— "So his lordship decreed, with a grave solemn tone, Decisive and clear, without one "if" Or "bent," That, whenever the Nose put his .spectacles on, By daylight or .candlelight, Eyes should be shut." Have you a craving for the her- oic? Then you may satiate your ap- petite on Mrs. Heman's immortal Casablanca: "With mast and helm, and pennon fair, That well had borne their part! But the noblest thing that perished there Was that young and faithful heart." Love of freedom, from earliest times, ever the badge of the Anglo- Saxon race, finds unquestionable ex- pression in that -old song of the sea, "A Wet Sheet and a Flowing Sea":- "The ea":-"The wind is piping loud, my boys, The lightning flashes free— While the hollow oak our palace is, Our heritage the sea." 'How solemn and awe-inspiring the picture given to us in that far-off Bavarian Village of Hohenlinden— "0n Linden, when the sun was low Ail bloodless lay the untrodden snow; And dark as winter was the flow Of Iser, rolling rapidly." When we wish to experience free and unalloyed humour, we feel you cannot do better than to re -read the inimitable poem assigned to the last though not least important place in the reader mentioned above: "Now, let us sing, long live the King, And Gilpin, long live he; And when he next doth ride abroad, May I be there to see! If imagination is largely respon- sible for the discovery of a, New World, happy should be that individ- ual blessed with an imaginative out- look. In this respect it seems impost` sible, as each Christmas season rolls around, to escape "St. Nicholas and his Reindeer", or the case of TinY Tim Cratchet. "Now, Dasher! now Dancer! now, Prancer! and Vixen! On, Comet! on Cupid! on Donder and Blitzen!" seems due to remain in our language a long time yet. How our young synipathies were aroused by the altogether unsatis- factory ending of "Lucy Grey". "They followed from the snowy bank The footmarks one by one Into the middle of the plank;• And further there were none!" Not once did we stop to consider whether she wore hiking shoes or ordinary house shoes. Similarly, the little daughter, whom her father, the skipper bad taken on board for company. "At daybreak on the black sea -beach A fisherman stood aghast, To see the form of a maiden fair Lash'd close to a drifting mast." Reminiscences of school days loom vividly in "Twenty Years Ago": "I've wandered' in the village, Tom, I've sat beneath the tree, Upon the school -house playing ground. which sheltered you and me, But none were there to greet us, Tom; and few were left to know, That played with as upon the green some twenty years ago." Several poems, familiar to Us both, we passed by, but on others we were fain to linger. "The melancholy days have come, the saddest of the year, Of wailing winds, and naked woods, and meadows brown and sear." Particularly, did we find much nenuine consolation in Alice and Phoebe Carey's "Pictures of Mem- ory": ' "Among the beautiful pictures 'That hang on memory's wall, TS one of a dim old forest That seemeth the best'of all." Would we not do well to pay tri- bute to those instructors instrument- al in opening our minds at our im- nreesionable age to our wonderful heritage in the wide and unlimited 'field of our democratic literature?' KIPPEN Blanche Thompson R.N. Weds ,Laurence Schnieder at Kipper The marriage of Blanche Elaine Thompson R.N., youngest daughter! of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Thompson, and Laurence Henry Schmieder, .of Stratford, son of Mrs. Elizabeth Schnieder and the late Daniel Schnieder of Bornholm, was solem- nized at the home of the bride's parents, No. 4 Highway south of Kippen, on.
