Oh Paddy, dear, and did you hear
The'pows that's going round
The Shamrock is forbid bylaw to
Grow On Irish ironed.
No more St. Patrick's day well keep,
The color can't be seen,
For there's a bloody war against the
Wearing of the, green., .
I met with Nappy Tender, and he took
Me by the
,hand,,
And be said, "Bowes poor ould Ireland,
Andhow does she stand V'
She's the most•dietressful country that
Ever you have seen;
They're hanging men And women there
for
Wearing of the green."
Then since the color we must wear is
England's cruel red,'
Sure Ireland's sons will nieer forget the
Blodd that they have shed,
You may take the Shamrock from your
bat,
And cast it on the sod ;
It will take root and flourish there,
Though underfoot it's trod.
Wheithe law can keep the blades of
grass
"From growing as they, grow,
And when , the leaves in summer time
Their verdure dare , net show,
Then I will change the color
I wear in my caubeep ;
But till that day, please God, I'll stick
To wearing of the green !
But if at last the color should -
Be torn from Irelaid's heart,
Her sous with shame and sorrow from
The dear old soil will part.
I've heard whispers of a country
That lies beyond the sea,
Where rich and poor stands equal in
The light of freedom's day.
'Oh ! Erin must we leave you, driven
By the tyraut's hand !
Must we ask a mother's welcome from
A strange, but happier land Y
Where the cruel cross , of England's
Thraldom.daveyihall_beseen,
And where, thank God! we'll liv'e and '

TROUBLE WITH A gRceii.EAR. appears

ANKODOTN OF THE KING OF SWEDEN
Some. Englishmen lately visited the
summer palace of the King of Sweden
at Steekholin, and were shown - over the
apaiements at their request by a man
whom they found seated on a bench in
the court yard. The Englishmen began
to tell anecdotes of the King, and de
mended if they were true. The guide, a
model of disdretion, said so many stories
were told of his Illejesty—some trae,
some false=that it was difficult for him
to say - what was correit, and that as he
was connected with the royal houtiehold,
it was not for him to say. The English
men begged pardon - for theik • curiosity,
and it , was ,heartily granted. At last,
after they had leen' every thing,' they
took leave of their guide and. thanking
him for his courtesy, e.apreseed their .
re
gret that they had not seen Charles XV.
The guide`raised his hat, and saluting
them gracefully, said, " I am the King,"
and then left the Englishmen not a little
astonished.
