POETRY.
ENGLAND.

BY JESSE E. DOW.
There's blood upon the jewelled sword,
And shame upon thy crown;
Pollution marks thy belted lord,
And sin thy churchman's gown;
And from the islands of the sea
The groan of millions sicurses thee.
Thy masses in their novels pine, b
: Or curse thee, while they toll,
Thy mobiles, of illustrious line,
Like vampires, suck thy soil;
And now, proud mistress of the sea-,
The meanest wretch gives food to thee!
+ A queen upon throne of gold
A parliament of drones-
A nations voice that's bought and sold,
!, While every cottage groans;
An army Ger the wide world spread,
To gather garments from the dead.
A bird of prey!-with bloody beak
Now feeding on its young
Now poing forth, with hellish shrek, ------
---rue u1eeuug crrues among' .--
/ Proud scavenger of land and sea-
Ayenging Heaven has noted thee!
Disturber of Creations peace!-
Destroyer of the laws!-
When will your,march of murder cease.
When will your legions pause!
When mail.clad men shall make your grave
pv Jayan's towers and Erie's wave.
But hark! cry for vengeance rings
From Indus and the Nilei
# tbupders death to Europe's kings,
And starts in Albion's isle;
That mower whose flag is never fnrled-
Whose morning drum beats rouna the "ofiu
Proud boaster! know that deeds OF blood
OF broken faith and shame
Have made thee mistress of the food
And magni6ed thy name:
And think how Rome, the mighty SANK
Whom rolled the Northern avalanche.
Well may'st thou stand, when nations whee
Their cannon to'ards thy throne!
But when thy starving millions feel
A foe in thee alone,
Not throne, nor lords, nor martial power,
Can stand the onset of that hour!

A BALLAD.

A BALLAD.
By THE HON, MRS. NORTON.
40 not love thee-no, do not love thee:
And yet, when thouart absent am sad'
And envy cen the bright blue sky above thee'
Whose quiet stars may see thee and be glad
I do not love thee-yet, when thou art gone,
hate the sound, though those who speak bt
dear,
Which breaks the lingering echo of the tone.
Thy voice of music leaves upon my ear.
1 do not love thee-yet know not why,
Whate'er thou dost, seems still well done to
me;
And often, in my solitude, Isigh,
That those do love are not more like thee.

countries. The unfortunate victims often
live in torture for many days. All the
characters Of antiquity, who are lauded in

barbarous practice. Alexander, Cesar'
