"The North-Western Daily Mail."
Here's luck to the "North-Western Mail,"

And with flying colours sail
On its prosperous career.

We launch with the new-born year.
May it weather every gale,
And with flying colours sail
On its prosperous career.
May it prove a great success,
Like a golden Argosy
On the journalistic sea,
And bring honour to the Press;
Free from all scurrilousness
May its pages ever be.

And bring honour to the Press;
Free from all scurrilousness

But quick to denounce all wrong,
And ever ready to fight
On the side of truth and right-
Thus may it sail along
'Mid the journalistic throng.
