Supposed to be written by Mr.. Carter, and


sung on .5aturday night" on board the
4 Corinthian, New York Packet, ON her


late voyageto Liverpool.
Come, send round the can! though the last Of
~ our lives


Be this night, we will drink to our ''sweethearts


and wivcs,''
And pledge them the warmer, and dream Of them
.f more
The further we rove from our dear native shore.
Good angels protect them wherever they are,
And peace be their portion while we are afar;
May theirspirits pursue, as the billows we stem,
And be thinking of us while we'er drinking to


them.


As trembles the Needle and points to the pole
Let each still be true to the girl OF his soul;
8 And whatever attractions may lead US to roam,
May the magnet Of feeling be ever at home.
From the full flowing goblet as each Of ps sips,
Let him think how much sweeter's the NECTAR o
lips
\ Then end round the can! though the last of oul


lives
Be this ~ight,we viii drink to our sweethearts and
wives.
