THE EXILE
He tresds the foreign soil, and silent hears
The MYSTERIOUS winds of cold Siberia rage'
And in that drear unhospi.able chme'
Suffers of earthly misery the chief
when the short day is lengthenedto its close,
. And night has spread her sable veil around'
Woe worn and sad he seeks his lonely hut
Where no kind face to cheer him TO his nome
\, found but all is desolate and drear'
There seated DER the expiring embers
of his hearth, he listens to the tempest
which circlng, thunders round his fragile sheu'
And Mem'ry in its most unwelcome MOOD,
Usurps the dresry kingdom Of his mind
He thinks of home, and of his dearest frehds'
of all the Joys in sunny Poland's cline,
That once were his; those joys alas! are cones
And from the world an exile, he is doomed
In cherries solitude to spend his days.
WHY he was sent in natures widest zone,
To leave his friends hi, family, his all,
B.comes question Of his canGered breast
Was il for deeds to mortal disgrace,
Or foul ingratitude, the 5a,est crime2
o! not was to prop yrant's throne
And help = extend a siyaga nations swsyi
FOR had himself and his proud fellows been
Permitted in their country to remsin'
,Unwept Sarmatia" would again have risen,
And plucked her ger from Russias diadem.
His mighty wrongs this exclamation cause:
SHOW bless'd and happy must that people be-
Where kngly pomp and sovereignty do NOT
tyrannizing thraldom hold; but where
Each man is his own master, and is free
To pursue the dictates of his conscience
But in that where fell Ambition reigns,
And life and death are in the hands OF one
It's enough, for my own evils speak
Aloud, more strong than any language cam.
And thus we see where monarchs hold a sway,
Misery and death afilict the human race
s.s....
Very little domestic news is at present SUIT
RING. The General and State Governments
move in their respective orbits regularly ano
tremendously, with nothing to disturb the se'
neral prosperity and happiness OF the nation
bu, the noisy strife which the Opposinon 10
the Adminis,ration--we might say, win more
rronrie,y perhaps, the Opposition 10 the 1oV'
rnr,sr,-has raised. For, if men pursue
.vs,smatic series Of hos,ilities against the ad
rr;n;stra,ors Of a government whose measure
are invariably directed for the public welfare
ond with which the opposers themselves cal
find no reasonable gr0unCs OF complaint, We al
;us,;6ed in believing that they are really oPP0s
ed 70 the Government, itself. This is iact o.
which we have all along insisted-iha' IN
