The northern breezes sharp and clear, Have ushered in the new-born year, And happy may it be I May all our friends attain iheir ends, And enemies be turned to friends, In eighteen fifty-three. The by-gone year, in Cluirch and State, Has many strange things to relate ; To some of these we turn : They are not all of such a class. That, whether brought or not, to pass, Church WitnesMCs need mo\irn. *- We know that Britain's standard waves, Where ocean's sunny billow laves The shores of Birmah's land ; We know, on Afric's southern coast Too many precious lives arc lost. In war witli the Caffro band. In fickle Gallia's land, we know. The crown is rn Napoleon's brow, .\nd freedom is no more : We know, amidst a nation's gloom, That good OM Duke is in the tomb, Napoleon quailed before. We know the gold is good, is fine. That comes from the Australian mine ; That Free Trade rules the roast : We know that railway cars arc coming, .Vnd speculators now arc summing, The profits and the cost. And swifter than the railway car, Beneath Atlantic's waves afar. From Britain to Cape Race ; • And thence along the Labrador, To snowy Scotia's ice-bound shore. The Electric-wire we trace. Nor can we pass that snowy realm. E'en with the lightning at the helm. That lies the Pole around. Without a prayer for Sir Edward, bold, Now battling with the icebergs cold, That Franklin may be found. All these, no doubt, are fertile themes, And each prolifically teems With glowing hopes and fears : But we sing the Ship that has braved the sOiis Of a world at war, o- a world at ease. For many a hundred years. The good Old Cihhich is tossing now, As she of yore was used to do, Upon the troubled waves ; But her faithful crew need never fear, For her Star above is bright and clear ; While storms below she braves. On dear old Albion's happy shores, Where Providence ils blessings pours, Some hate the Refokmation ; And with ite troubles and its tuila, Its squabbles, feuds, and endless broils, Would have back Convocation. And some there are, it may be few. That fain would have their Synods too, Our Colonies to rule; But have thein whosoever may, New Brunswick, we presume to say, Will not be such .a fool. Poor Gladstone's Bill has travelled round, From post to pillar, but has found No very lovely greeting ; It's sage provisions, not as yet, Have joy or admiration met. From e'en one Parish Meeting. We do not think that Synods are. As good as some wise folks declare ; Or Gladstone free from guile ; TReir compositidh till we know, And more about their poieiri, too ; We'd rather wait awhile. The good Old Ship must sail along, [stronjr. Though storms should blow both loud and As she was wont to do ; At home, abroad, the chief command Must still remain in Si'mnkr's hand — A faithful man and true. ® )Lm, S>. (©., ^»fc |-
