THE STORMY PETREL.
BY b. CORNWALL

BY B. coRNwALL.
A thousand miles from land are we,
Tossing about on the roaring sea,
From billow TO bounding billow cast
Like fieecy snow on the stormy blast:
The sails are scattered abroad like weeds
The strong masts shake like quivering reeds,
The mighty cabins and iron chains,
The hull, which all earthly strength disdains,
They strain and they crack, and hearts like
stone
Their natural hard proud strength disown.
Up and down, up and down.
From the base of the wave TO the billow crown
And amidst the flashing and feathery foam
The Stormy Petrol finds homc -
A home, if such place may be,
For her who lives on the wide sea,
On the craggy ice, in the frozen air,
And only seeketh her rocky lair
To warm her young, and to teach them spring
At once DER the waves on their stormy wing
Der the deep Ger the deep!
Where the whale, and the shark, and the
sword fish sleep,
Outlying the blast and the driving rain,
The Petrol telleth her tale in vain;
For the mariner curseth the warning bird
who bringeth him news Of the storm unheard'
All, thus doth the prophet of good or i'll,
Meet hate from the creatures he serveth still,
Yet he meier falters:--So, Petrol! spring
Once more DER the waves on thy stormy wing,

POETRY
From 7dirs Edinbtpg Magazine.
UP. MEN OF ENGLAND!

The following animated burst 81 pauiVAis'n -
poetry, the effusion OF one Of Britain npSt =,
Schills and Korncrs, was contemporary WIN 80
dark hour OF suspense which followed inc ihis,u
ated ote Of the House Of Peers against the ne
form BiII. and when there were strong surmises
that the king had forfeited his popular character
NJ R,former. This happily was mistake. =
Tn firm attitude taken by the people, peacefully
over mastered the crisis: the poem remains as
soayning which was meant as call, and glow
ing evidence Of that noble and free spirit, open 4
cancellation, but which, unwisely rrltated by con
temptuous denial Of justice, still "Bides ITS tune.
Ye men Of England, will ye see
The morn Of freedom passing by,
Nor strike blow for liberty
Will ye---nor raise your shout ON high
Will only We thus idle stand,
While Europe struggles for her rights
Arise, arise, with heart and hand,
Up, men Of England, TO the tight.
O Shame, less noble checks are pale,
That England's sons should crouch and kneei
And family sue with coward wall,
Where ineancr hands have grasped the steel
Listen, your despot lordlngs say,
Ye dare not struggle for your right,
Yet none that stirring taunt repay
Up, men Of England, to the fight
o. bitter shame, and bitter wo,
To bear so base scom so long,
Your frmer fathers paused not so,
When Hampden braved the Stuart's wrong:
And will ye fling your heritage
OF glory and of conquered right,
Before factions bigot rage!
Up, men Of England, to the fight.
Ye strove with France in days Of yore,-
Once more she dares you TO the field;
Not that your bray n blood should pour
Again Bourbon's throne TO shield;
With her she calls you to advance
On the broad path Of truth aud right.
What answer do you give to France:
Up, men Of England, to the fight.
France shows you what people can,
Against a syrant's vassal horde;
France shows you what there is in man,
When freedom flashes on his sword;
She points the way, she cheers you on,
She bids you triumph for your right.
Dare eou not do ,phnt france has done?
Up, men Of England, to the fight
What fear ye' no barbarian Gar
Can pour Cossacks on your land,
No Prussian perfdy can mar
The triumph Of your brother band
Ye are alone upon the seas,
Sole Judges Of our native right
One short, sharp hour, your country frees;
Up, men Of England, to the fight.
And think ye Scotland will not lend.
In such a cause her warrior tide,
Nor Wales her mountain steep descend,
To share the peril at your side?
Nor Ireland sound her harp and wave
Her pure green banner for your right
sister now, no more slave:
Up, men Of England, to the fight.
BY Liberty's eternal name,
Once Engiand's proudest glory, arm
Sweep from your isle expressions shame,
And cleanse her Of her locust swarm.
An honored grave that isle shall give
To every martyr of her right.
In life we've died, in death we live
Up, men Of England to the fight.

DEATH.

AND the joyous revelry
There came a thought of death,
breathing upon my reveris
A chill and ciammy breath.
The kindling eye, the colour high
Seemed fading into gloom,
There coldly crept around my heart
A feeling of the tomb.

Uf youthful hopes o'erturned,
4 deep. consuming misery
Where bright ambition burned.
seemed to tread path that led
Me onward to my doom,
Before me sprea d the mouldr'ing dead,
The dark and silent tomb.
There rose a sigh, there fell tear
As hope, reluctant fed,
II seemed as though I'd met the blow,
And lay among the dead;
And as lay amid decay,
thought Of youthful bloom,
And mourned my bright ambitions blight
Now smothered in the tomb.
And now, oh God, can fancy's FIRE
Create hell 50 deep,
Methou ght ] felt, with anguish dire
Ten thousand monsters creep
Around my heart-from every part
New myriads seemed to come
One death caused million lives to start
Within the silent tomb!
Years seemed in slow and solemn pace
To pass above my head,
And whist my soul retained its place,
] rOtted with the dead.
At length the ground was split around;
The day Of dread " as come;
struggled, woke. the spell was broke
Of the dark, dismal tomb.
! grasped-I rose and sought the air,
The moon was riding high;
breathed my first repentant prayer
Beneath the starry sky!
And now the earth appears to me
To wear fresher bloom;
bless my dream of misery
Within the silent tomb.
