POETRY.

CONJUGAL HINTS ON LATE HOURS.
" Welcome, SIR 3otiN," good Madam said,
As tipsy spouse was homeward led,
In mind and body blighted;
A title l—hiccup—why give me ?"
" Because, my dear," responded she—
" You always are benighted !"

EPITAPH
On the Rev. Josven NG, Minister of Paddington.

BY J. J. STOCKDALE, ESQ.
Soft as the ray of as autumnal sun,
Its glories tempered, as its course is run,
The Man of God sinks to eternal rest,
Pillowed on Christ, his dear Redeemer's bteast.
" Of manners gentle, of affectiors mild,"
Thu' full of years, yet simple as " a child,"
Each Widow's, Orphan's sorrow was his own,
His prayer, in life, in death, "Thy will he dune!"

THE COVENTRY MARCH.
To the tune of " Scots wiles hue w 1 Wallace bled."
Ye, who ConnErr's doctrines wed,
Ye, whom HARRY HvNT has led—
Better ye all were sick in bed,
Than join such Treachery.
Sit at home, Sirs, snug and warm,
Wisely shun the coming storm,
Away with Radical Reform►
'Tis nought but Foolery.

Why across tl►' Atlantic main,
Comes the Old Knave back again,
Bringing rotten bones of Paine?
Base effrontery !
The Rogue but wants to steal your pence :
He'll pay you back in Impudence ;
His Patriotism is mere pretence,
To 'scape from poverty.

Then save your cash, ray friends, I pray,
From Coventry he'll sneak away—
And Botany's appropriate bay
Soon, no d,subt, he'll see.
Happy the day, fur Britain's Isle,
When HUNT and CoIIBETT quit our soil,
With impious RUNE, and mad CARLILE.

The Dregs of Blasphemy !
