All other original copies are filmed beginning on the first page with a printed or illustrated impres- sion, and ending on the last page with a printed or illustrated impression. The last recorded frame on each microfiche shall contain the symbol ^^ (meaning "CON- TINUED"), or the symbol V (meaning "END"), whichever applies. Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at different reduction ratios. Those too large to be entirely included in one exposure are filmed beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to right and top to bottom, as many frames as required. The following diagrams illustrate the method: Les images suivantes ont M reproduites avec le plus grand soin, compte tenu de la condition et de la nettet6 de l'exemplaire filmd, et en conformity avec les conditions du contrat de filmage.

" our gallant boys and true — The lads that love the dear "old flag," at least, as well as you. Yet they must seek an alien shore to live as exiles there For lack of place to earn their bread, tho' that mi^ht be to spare; For lack of room for honest toil their feet afar must roam — The lads that ought to be the stay of their old folks at home. Ye send our best and brightest forth, our nation's hope and pride — More precious to our country's weal than all her wealth beside; To be the strength of alien slates, of empire not our own, And all to " build the nation up" without its corner stone. Then from the dregs of other lands, the wrotched and the weak, Unfit for what before them lies, new sufferings come to seek I Will they give back to Canada the strength she casts away ? Will they replace the gallant lads that leave our shores to-dar ? Drag not the generous brave "old flag" into a party cry; Its folds have waved for freedom oft on many a day gone b}' ; Claim not its name, its grand old fame for tyranny disguised. To hide the need and selfish greed of power and place misprized. God gave this mighty continent to this our father's race. The north and south He made for all, and crowned them with His grace, That each might fill the other's lack, and love and plenty reign ; — What He hath joined together let no man cleave in twain. k
