VERY TOUCHING.
Mr Bonar is probably the only Superintendent who has a Poet Laureate. He haß one named John Cross, who, as in duty bound, has penned an ode, said to be impromptu-,, on the occasion of a son and heir being born to his Honor of Westland. We' give the first verse as a, sample :
"Thrice welcome ! little stranger, ~ To Westland's genial «iime, May angel wings' protect thee In youth ancl manhood's prime. And like.thy sire- in Freedom's cause The noblest aims pursue," ' In health, and wealth, and calm content, . Whilst loyal, just, and true."
