SONG OF THE SPIRIT OF Pow
ERTY.
BY ELIZA COG

BY ELIZA COOK.
A song, a song. for the Beldame Queen,
A Queen that the world knows well,
Whose portal Of state is the work-house gate,
And throne the prison-ceh.
/ have been crowned in every land
With nightshade STEPPED in tears,
I've dog gnawn bone for my scepue wand,
Which the proudest mortal fears.
No gem I wear in my tangled hair,
No golden vest own
No radient glow tints cheek or brow
Yet say, who dares my iTown}
Oh. / am a Queen of ghastly court,
And tyrant sway hold,
Batting human hearts for my royal sport
With boodhounds of Hunger and Cold.
Ny power can change the purest clay
From its first and beautiful mould,
Til it hideth away from the face Of day,
Too hideous to behold.
Oh, 1 am Queen Of a ghastly COURT
And the landmarks that keep
Are such phantom things as fever brings
To haunt the fi6ul sleep.
See. see, they come in my haggard train,
With jagged and matted locks
Hanging around them as rough as the wllt
steed's name,
Or the black weed on the rocks.
They come with broad and horny palms,
They come in maniac guise,
With anged chains and yellow kins,
And hollow starting eyes.
They come to be girdcd with leather and link,
And away at my bidding they 60,
To toll where the soulless beast would shrink
In the deep damp cayerns below,
Daughters Of beauty, they, ike We,
Are Of gentle womankind,
And wonder not il little there be
OF angel foIm and mind.
If Pd held your cheek by as close pinch,
Would that hourishing rose be iound2
III doled YOU a crust out, inch by inch,
Would your arms have been SO roundl
Oh, am Queen, with a despotrule,
That brushes TO the dust
The laws deal, hear no appeal,
Though ruthless and unjust.

With the might Of the demons skill;
The heart may struggle, but struggle in vain,
As Igrapple ii harder still.
Oh, come with me, and We shall see
How well begin the day,
For I'll HE to thehungrest slave have,
/ And snatch his loaf away.
! Oh. come with me, and We shall see
How my skeleton victims fall;
How order the graves without a stone,
And collins without pail,
Then a song, a song for the Beldame Queen
A Queen that we fear right well;
For my portal of state is thework house gate
And my throne the prison-celll

HoME.-The ordination of providence, says
a distinguished writer, is, that home should
form our character. The first objects Of parents
should be to make home interesting. II is a
bad sign when children have to wander from
the palernal roof for amusement A love of
home is oneof the strongest safeguards against
vice-not to children only, but TO men. Men
who delight in their own fire-sides, are never
seen lounging about bar-rooms or oyster sa-
looms Make home attractive 10 your chill
dren--so that they viii leave ii with regret
and return TO it with ioy--for this is mighty
preseryative against vice.

For Love right eloquent viii speak.

Is plain from that imprisoned sigh,
That blush that flies true loves eoncealng.
