Otago's cock is the bird to crow, Boih when he's atop, and when he's below; . When he wins the fight, he crowg with a will — When he's handsomely thraahed ,he crows louder still; Though his comb be cut, though his plumes bereft, The future is his—if hia crow be left. - r.; ; . . _ Moral. When the laggard counts first, as when donkeys race, Otago is sure of the foremost place.-
