, following beautiful Poem, describing the
f the steamship President, was recited by
Mowatt, TO an admiring audience, on the
ion Of her benefit, at the ParkiThsatre las
y night,
God speed the noble President
A gallant boat is she
As ever entered harh0ur
Or crossed stormy sea.
Like some majestic castle
She floats upon the stream
The good ships moor'd beside her,
Like pigmy shallops seem
How will her mighty bulwsrks
The leaping surges brave
How will her iron sinews
Make way 'gainst wind and wave
Farewell, thou stately vessel
Ye voyagers, fare we'll
Securely on that deck shall ye
The tempest's shock repel.
The stately vessel left us,
In all her bold array;
glorious sight, o landsmen.
As she glided down our bay;
Her flags were waving joyfully,
And from her ribs Of oak,
Farewell !" to all the city,
Her guns in thunder spoke.
Flee, on thy vspory pinions
Back, back to England fee,
Where patient watchers by the strand
Have waited long for thee;
Where kindred hearts are beating
To welcome home thy crew,
And fearful eyes gaze constantly
Across the waters blue
Alas We wstchers by the strand!
Weeks, months. have rolled away,
But where, where Is the President
And why Is this delay.
Return, pale mourners, to your homes
Ye gaze, and gaze in vain;
Oh ! never shall that pennond mast
Salute your eyes again
And now your hopes, like morning stars,
Have one BY one gone out;
And stern despair subdues at length
The agony Of Doubt
But still affection lifts the torch
By night along the shore,
And fingers by the surf.beat rocks,
To marvel, to deplore.
In dreams see the fated ship
Torn by the northern blast;
About her tempest riven track
The white fog gathers fast;
When 10: above the ,wathinE mist
In lucent grandeur to the clouds
Vast continents adrift.
One mingled shrek of awe goes up,
At that stupendous sight;
Now, helmsman, for hundred lives,
Oh, guide the helm Alright!
Vain pray err! she strikes. and laundering down
The avalanches fall:
Crush'd. whelm'd, the stately vessel sinks
The cold sea covers all!
Anon, unresting Fancy holds
direr scene to view:
The burning ship, the fragile raft,
The pale and dyins crew.
All me. was such their maddenipg fate
Upon the billewy brine7
Give up, remorseless Ocean,
A relic and a sign!
No answer cometh from the deep,
To tell the tale We dread:
No messenger OF veal or woe
Returneth from the dead:
But Faith looks up thro' tears and sees
From earthly haven driven.
Those lost ones meet in fairer realms,
Where storms reach not-in Heaven!

to recover the money and that the said Curtis

there is a dangerous precedent, one which might
