152 A prince can make a belted knight,

A marquis, duke, and a' that;

But an honest man's aboon his might,

Guid faith he maunna fa' that!

For a' that, and a' that,

Their dignities, and a' that,

The pith o' sense, and pride o' worth,

Are higher rank than a' that.

Then let us pray that come it may—

As come it will for a' that

That sense and worth, o'er a' the earth,

May bear the gree, and a' that;

For a' that, and a' that,

It's coming yet for a' that,

That man to man, the warld o'er,

Shall brothers be for a' that!

A New Arrival.

came to port last Sunday night

The queerest little craft,

Without an inch of rigging on;

I looked and looked and laughed.

It seemed so curious that she

Should cross the Unknown water,

And moor herself right in my room,

My daughter, O my daughter!
