And well do we place them, obedient in school ;

He hammers out the soles, with his lap-stone on his knee,— The shoemaker toils for you and me.

Step on-board and claim a _ seat, Or vakern 8 pi be - hind its Take the tick - ets— Hay are free —Haste !the bell is ring-ing;

Ce Noth-ing can with this compete, And 50 you'll sure-ly find it. Soon be-yond the reach ’twill be, Its way right on-ward winging.

Here you'll meet the hoary headed, Here’s the rising generation, Ardent still and active ; ! Thoughtfal and aspiring,

To the Car they’re firmly wellded, In the Car of Education, Finding it attractive. Never, never tiring.

Soon they'll pass beyond the goal, See them with an active zeal, Never more returning ; And a true devotion,

But their virtues we'll enroll Counting it their greatest weal, Upon the altar burning. To keep the Car in motion.

Here is manhood in his power, - Come and join the grand procession; Vigor, and ambition ; All are now invited ;

Gathering laurels every hour, Come, whatever your profession ; ; By his erudition. Let us be united.

See them toiling side by side, Keep the Car upon the track, Each in his vocation, Free from all disaster ;

Scattering knowledge far and wide, And if there’s no holding back, In this fast growing nation. In time. ’twill run the faster.
