FREEDOM OR SLAVERY.

Freedom, or Slavery, which will ye have ?
Englishmen, Frenchmen, reply !
Crouch to the Despot, or strike for the Brave,
Valiantly conquer or die ?
Civilisation, Progress, and Art,
Liberty, Honour, and Right;
From these, won by Freedom, we never will part,
For these we will shout in the fight !
Unsheath the sword, with hand on the heart,
Strike home and conquer the foe;
Let the Barbarian, the merciless smart,
And quail at the terrible blow.
Englishmen, Frenchmen, you've nobly begun
The Battle for Freedom and Right ;
Hand in hand, side by side, till the vict'ry's won
And Liberty blesses the sight !
Englishmen, Frenchmen, united at last !
There is much still to conquer and gain ;
Be brothers in future—smile at the past,
And Peace, Love, and Order, will reign.
The Patriot, the down-trodden Nations rejoice,
And hopefully look to the fight;
Englishmen, Frenchmen, which is your choice ?
To be Staves ! or have Freedom and Right ?

children, attending the ragged
schools of thel united parishes of St. Giles's and St.
George
_ißloomsbury,were treated to an excursion to
Willesden, about
en, six miles on the Harrow-road, where
they Spent the day in the fields adjoining the house se-
lected for their reception. They made the trip com-
fortably seated in nine vans, and took their departure
from the school-house in George-street, St. Giles's, amid
the cheers of a large number of their parents and the in.
habitants of the neighbourhood. At Willesden they
were supplied with a good dinner and tea, and means of
amusement and exercise were provided for them in the
shape of bats, balls, swings, bows and arrows, donkey-
riding, &c. In the afternoon the four curates of the two
parishes, and several friends of the school, joined the
youthful' throng, and helped on the amusements. The
expenses of the treat were defrayed by special contribu-
tions, so as to avoid resorting to the funds of the
school ; and, though sufficient funds have not been raised
to pay the whole of the expense incurred, the managers
trust—looking at the beneficial results likely to arise
