An ExILE's PROPHECY.
England thy sun is setting
Thy glory waxeth dim;
Thy Genius, her charge forgetting,
Chaunteth thy dying hymn
England thy heart is rotten!
Corruption rankleth there,
Soon wilt thou be forgotten,
But as race that pere!
Look at thy population
Hear we that throttling sigh!
See We not gaunt Starvation,
And the death glance of her eye!
What though thy pampered minions,
Thy ministers and lords,
Deal forth their grave opinions
In fair and honeyed words
What though they hang around thee
A drapery of seel?
What though thy fleets surround thee +!
Yet thou hast nerves to feel
And palsying death is stalking
Along thy life-path now;
And, in its noon-tide walking,
Blancheth thy sadd'ning brow
Thy arrogance hath doomed thee
To sure and sudden death!
Thy rice, thy pride entomb thee
Ere checked by shortening breath
And think'st thou, hauty nation,
Thus verging on thine end,
To meet thine own salvation
BY grdsping at thine triende
Mark thee! thy death-spasm, England,
Doth in that last clutch lie!
And nations round thee, England,
Prepare to see thee die
England! thy sun is setting!
Thy glory waxeth dim;
Thy Genius, her charge forgetting,
Chaunts forth thy dying hymn

BACON sAyED.-The Legislature of Maine

For this divorce the only course
That wisely could be taken,

Say, who would keep the Cobb!
