A NEW SONG.

Ant. — Jessie tlie Flower o' Dumblane. Where .flows the W&v-iti there lives a young widow, SurpassiDgly handsome, exceedingly kind, She fills vay fond bosom as no one ere did do, She's such a sweet creature, and so to my mind,. Her looks are as light as a bright summer morning, . . When all things in nature delightful appear; Sweet smiles her dear features are ever adorning, Half- crazy I wish her to call me her dear, I do love that widow — that charming young widow, I do love the widow, and wish she were here. Her long acres s<and on the banks of Wai-iti, And search the whole Province no better you'll find. Her home is a dwelling I've always deemed pretty, 3 Tis just like her dear self, that's quite to my mind, It's all my ambition to be the sole master Of house, land, and cattle, her poultry and swine, Sincerely I loved her the first time I passed her But now I adore her and think her divine, I I do love the widow — the charming young widow She'd suit n.e to pieces ! 1 wish she were mine. To make myself swellish, .I've bought a belltopper, A stunning new necktie, and bream-coloured vest, And tights of best Bedford, to make myself properly fit for a place in the dear widow's breast, My boots and boyanks are the sleekest of leather, My spurs are of silver, at least plated o'er, When dressed up I wish I could with her for-, gather, For she could not help it, but quite me adore, I do love the widow — the charming young widow, I love her as young man ne'er loved one before. I'll saddle my creamy when I go to court her, I'll buy her another to ride by my side, Perhaps get a buggy, the better to sport her, If chance to the City with her I may ride, The folks of the City shall see what Wai iti Can turn out,, when thither -with her I repair, The folks of the City shall see that Wai-iti Can turn out a couple with creamies a pair; I do love the widow — the charming young widow Devoutly I love her, I'm proud to declared W.
