THE SUPERINTENDENCY.
Now, Donald, you see, you’re not Superintendent, Though you’ve been scheming that post to attain ; For, truly, your star is not in the ascendant -- Take good advice, and don't try it again.
Vour Sievwright, M‘Lcod, Johnny Graham, aad Barton, Carried no weight in the struggle, you find ; For title “ His Honor,’’ which you’d set your heart on, Macandrew left you a long way behind.
’Tis certain the contest cost many a stiver, Insulting speeches in country and town : In spite of all this, and the libel on Driver, All must acknowledge you’re fairly “done brown. ” Go to your farm, and eschew things political ; Be not obstructive, but work in sphere Where Nature placed you—for though times are critical, ♦Superintendent you’ll never he here. Wauu ULIT.
