POLAND.
Where is it writ the Poles mast ay be slaves,
To dig and toil at some oppressor's beck,
Whose right was won upon the hallow'd graves
Of men who perisb'd ere they'd bow the neck?
lUse, Poland, rise! and from thy living wreck
Shill heroes spring, more fortunate than those,
Who, in the strife of glorious Liberty.
Saw deepest darkness o'er their country close ;
Rise! ere the Russian Savage strangle thee.
Or feller poison mix in all thy woes.
A glorious lot is thine !—to win the proud
Indomitable rights of injured man;
Heaven speed thee on, with pillar and with cloud,
And smite the impious hest from rear to van.

ANECDOTE OF SIR. T. LAW KEN CE.A lady once asked
him the reason why he had oolong ceased to play at billiards, the only
game he was fond of, and at which be so greatly excelled- His reply
was hall of character "My dear Mrs. 'be replied, " although
I never played fut money myself, my play attracted much attention,
and occasioned many, and often very high bete. Next to gambling
yourself, is the vice of encouraging it in others; and as I could not
check the betting, I have given up my amusement. I have not played
• game for many years. The last time I was in a billiard room was a
few years ego, when who should casually come la but the Doke of
Wellington ! We had often played together, and with nearly equal
success. We agreed to have a batch ; but we were both so perfectly
out of preface, that, after a few strokes, we could not help smiling at
each other, and we laid down the cues.
