Tit FINDING OF DR. IVIHGSTONE:
MODERN' ' LLAD, ne FOUR PATS.
PART I.—THE COMMISSION.
Jiin Bennett sent a telegram,
As speedy as you please,
Unto the Spaais ' capital,
Where Stanley took his ease,
"Paok up, old hosts," he writ so,
" I've-, something in my eye .
-Will send the New York ,Herald
Ballooning to the sky."
So Stanley lacked his linen,
And took the morning mail,
And he was down in Paris
Next evening without fail.
He sought his paper hero
('Twas twelve o'clock -at night),.
He thundered at the entrance,
And Bennett woke in fright.
His foot was on the carpet,
His hand was on his Colt,
"Who's there?" "'Tis I," said Stanley,
` 1 pray you do unbolt."
So these two plucky journalists
Were face to face ; and when
Jim Bennett- eyed his Special.
He swore a bit and then
Roared " Where's the plucky Britisher -
Where is old Livingstone 7
Is he alive in Africa,
Or is he dead and gone ?"
"I do not know," said Stanley,
" I've ne'er been there to see,"
«Then, darn it, go and look," he said;
- t` And that is my idee."
•
"Yon may draw on me for million's,
And then for millions more ;
116- off at once without a word,
And please to shut the door.
And then the nimble Yankee
Crept in between the sheets,
And Stanley rattled in a cab
All night through Paris streets.
%. ...�V..Y-;•.-
THE HURON _ EXPOSITOR;
PART IL—THE MARCH.
When Stanley got to Zanzibar,
He buckled up his trews,
And marched away to Ujiji,
A looking out for ;news.
In vain the natives told. him
The road was bad and long
His legs were firm as timber,
His heart was stout and strong.
He passed through many a river,
Through -forest and through swamp ;
On many a plain of burning sand.
`He pitch'd his ev'ning camp.
Nor nigger chief, nor Arab thief
Uould stop him for a day,
This stale; art Yankee Special
Held steady on his way.
He fought with dark Mirambo,
The King of Ujawa,
And smote his grinning niggers
With the long protruding jaw,
They fled --their lark -heels twinkling
Far o'er the burning sand,
Ana Stanley still marched onward ;
-For far U jiji laud.
‘Alas ! the fever struck him
in Unyanyen be town,
And hi:d iollo overs all ran away
«'bile he was lying down,
But yet not all undaunted
He rose up from his bed,
"For the .Herald andold Livingstone
—
I wit/ not die,;" he said.
So capturing some followers,
Again he took the route ;
Miratnbo and his blackamoors
Faced to the right-albout,
1, ith scowl upon his countenance,
Revolver in his hand,
Tramp, tramp, went gallant. Stanley
(e'er forest, flood and. sand.
At long and las-tUjiji
Arose upon his sight—
" Now stay, my niggers ' all," he said
We'll enter brave and bright. -
Arnerica was never licked,
And never yet was I :
Dispose yourselves in order,
And let our banners fly."
.. Fire off your guns, and let the noise
Apprise the savage clan
- A stranger comes among them
White, and—American.''
-Then the " star-spangled " fluttered,
The guns roared o'er the plain,
And into scared Ujijr
Marched -Stanley and his train.

PAT III.—TETE
The natives all assembled,
This novel sight to see,
And Stanley sat and watched them
With rifle on his knee ;
But soon his dark eye glistened,
And soon the ride fell ; ' Y
A white ratan stood before him -
That face !—he knew it well.
White -bearded, pale, and haggard,
Yet leonine and bold,'
'Twas the weary, worn explorer,
Undaunted as of old.
And there he stood, glad gazing
Upon a white man's face—
Red-shirted, and with naval cap
Bouudround with faded lace.
Then Stanley pushing forward
With a mental summersault,
Past all the squatting negroes
And Arabs—made a halt ;
And lifting up his turban,
And lowering its plume,.
Said, with a voice all quivering,.
` The Doctor. I presume ?"
Then Livingstone, remarking . -
The stranger's nasal tune,
Replied—" You're rather welcome,
And I guess I'm Livingstone ?"
'But who are you, my daring boy,
That cometh from afar—
Through all the pains and fiends that
'Twixt here and. Zanzibar ?"
And'thesla a hunter's delight;
Of the men, high browed and stately,
With the warrior's noble air.
Kind,. hospitable, le, and manly— ,
It's a paradise out there.
They have only one small failing—
What tribe of man is clear ?—
They dine upon the enemies
They conquer by the spear.
And yet these gentle cannibals,
When in palaver grave,
Seemed to the ood old. Doctor
Like scrvarn in conclave.
But fiercely roe the travellers voice.
O'er the crime of slavery ;
As he told of the Arabs' midnight raid,
And their fiendish butchery ;
Of the long hot march of the negroes
Away from their native homes,
Of the loads they ey bear and the .chains
they wear,-•
Of the death that is sought, and
comes.
So talked this brave Ulysses
The happy months away,
"At last," saidyoung Telemachus,•
" I may no longer stay.
''' The New York Herald claims my
care,,
And. calls me too,
Shake hands, my brave explorer,
Adieu, old an, adieu."
" And yet word before I g s—
Become our Special !
To all the of Africa—
` Black, brown.,' and cannibal."
The traveller adly smiled ; quoth:he,
" Young f nd then be it so ;"
Thus parted these wayfarers
In Central Africa.
PART W.—THE RETURN—THE GEO-
GRAPHERS. •
When Stanleycame to England—
His fame bid gone before,
The people rose to greet him,
He was feted evermore,
And all the printshop windows
Blossomed •th his carte.
The Duchessesadmire his pluck,
The Dukes owned he was smart.
A hundred i itations
Were sent him to dine,
.And tell his thrilling .story
• - O'er the walnuts and the wine.
But soon a little murmur
Was heard among the news,
Sone savant hook a solemn head
- Anda flatly did refuse
Till such andsuch particulars
Were madeas pain as print,
To believe the stranger's story
. "Ai there's uptight bid bunkum in't."
Besides, he was a Welshman;
And, in co seglxence,` a' thief ;
And, if Stanley was a Taffy,
Did he merit our belief?
Then the Geographers- sniggered,
And they'raised a `` tirrivee"
At Brighton on the Eientish coast,
.annualAtthe science spree.
But as brave as when hiirainho
Opposed his hostile horde,
The discoverer of Livingstone
Retorted word for word.
-For Galton or for R.nwlinson,
For Burton or for Beke, -
A.nd all parlor geographers
He didn't care a kick.
-Had they seen the Luallaba-
Roll its s aciode voluane on ;
Or the "Un yatrs" and the "Yennbes,"
Seen by Livingstone alone..
They .night •neer,or they might wince,
U-rdfily laugh, or blandly smile,
But the good old Doctor would. return
The Father of'the Nile. -
Thus with c afliinee and with laughing
He the Geographers riled,
And he still keeps. pegging at them,
Though they take it very mild:
They .night drive him out of .Brighton,
But.they could. not stop his quill,
And they woke up at the- "Savages"
A tonguewas sharper still.
It's a very pretty splutter,
But we d not care a doib
Whether theGeographers •
Or Stanley's in the right.
He found our dear old. Traveller,
Not for Bennett, but ns all,
- And we y, "Your hand brave
stranger,
You ate most uncommon tall."
