A Greeting to Tommy and Jack
(Lennox Herald.) 10-night the bells will peal a merry chime, Bringing new joy and tidings f tit if oi cheer; 10-night brave lads in many a distant clime Will lonely sigh and drop the silent tear. '1 he old-time greeting in the dear old land, ..-hall be to them a memory of the past, •iut we who grasp each other by the haild, Will keep them in remembrance till the l*et. A Guid New Year to every Tommy true, Who fights beneath the bannerol the . brave; A Guid New Year to every Jack in blue, Who fearless riaes, a monarch of the wave. May peaci' with honour to the land retarn, Where patriots dwell and bask in freedom's light. And through the ages may her iamp still 'burn. With God and justice to defend tile right. DUNCAN MATHIESON. 38 Stirling Btreet, Rent on.
