THE BROWNIES IN GERMANY.

A plundering band, prepared to stock
Its larder from its neighbor’s flock.
Then right had little chance at all
Unless it owned the strongest wall,
And justice did the prize bestow
On him who gave the hardest blow.”

So thus the Brownies chatted still

While rambling through the place at will,

Enjoying sights on every side

So common in that country wide.

Nifad!.

They paused at Bingen on the Rhine,
Where fields were covered with the vine;
Where, bending round the Niederwald,
The river to the ocean crawled,

-And ancient castles, towering high
Along the banks, charmed every eye.
