The Poet's Corner.
A VOICE FROM THE NEVIS.—No. 11 Air— “Far Away.” Whore is now that rabbit party, That was hero not long ago, Camped on tho Nevis Hills, All among the frost and snow ? You may see their camping-ground, If along the road you stray ; Some ere this arc swaggiug it, Far away ; far away. Some stayed for a short time only, For they said it was too rough ; Others tried it, somewhat longer. But now they say they’ve had enough ; They will go unto the station, And when they receive their pay They will soon ho swaggiug it, Far away, far away. Some will go unto tho Dunstau, And fit 1 'ox’s make their homo ; Others who have got no sugar. Seeking work, will have to roam ; Yet a few talk of remaining Through tho winter, so they say. They had hotter all go swaggiug, Far away, far away. FUR-TRADER.
