94 THE ATLA^"T1C TELEGRAPH. 



" Glory to God " it breathed, and then 

 Proclaimed this blessing on mankind, 

 " Peace on the earth : goodwill to men." 



Thus this vast monument of mind. 

 Annihilating time and space, 

 Has opened with an act of grace. 

 Oh, heavenly words ! oh, happy thought ! 

 To send such words, with friendship fraught, 

 To yonder distant land, and then 

 To have them sent us back again. 

 Oh, shall not wonders such as these 



Do more than treaties yet have done 

 To bind in union Siamese 



The mother with her stalwart son !
