I20 EVERY DOG MUST HAVE HIS DAY

To move as chessmen, trained to mark and shoot,

To wile away a tyrant*s moody hour ; But rather cnish the viper 'neath their boot, Ar . stifle in its birth his bastard power.

Then beat the drums, and cry Hurrah !

For Europe's Faustin clear the way !

Of her white Soulouque France is proud.

Long live the Emperor ! shouts the crowd- Next — ^hang the dog ! he's had his day !

(Imltated from the French by Leopold Wray. The Lone Star.)
