THE CALL.
THK LONDON" SCOTTISH ON THF .MARCH. They may dwell in the South for a hundred year.-;; They may speak the Southron's tongue; They may live a life that i.s free from strife, Their book* and desks among : Bui eonies a day when they hear a sound, And again they are fighters all— For live* there a Scot who answers not When the pipers call and call? And none but a Scot can understand What the skirling bagpipes say Of the dear, grey North, whence these sons came forth. The land that is far away. And out from the office-doors they com.-, \nd awav from a thousand ties; For the skies may fall, but they heed the call, Or feel that their honour dies. There's never a Scot but wears the look That his lighting fathers wore V- he swings his kill to the mad ning lilt , . Of the pipes that go beiore. —Grace Golden.
