THE 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 rank.eth there!
Soon wilt thou be forgotten,
But as a race that Were!
Look at thy population
Hear ye 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 honied words!
What though they hang around thee
In drappery of steeR
What though thy fleets surround thee
Yet thou hast nerves to feel!
And palsying death is stalking
Along the life path now;
And, in its noon-tide walking,
Blanche,h thy sadd ming brow!
Thy arrogance hath doomed thee
To sure and sudden death!
Thy oice, thy pride entomed thee
Ere check'd thy shortening breath!
And thlnk'st thou, naughty nation,
Thus verging on thine end,
To meet thine own salvation
By grasping at Thy Jrien3
Mark thee! thy death spasm England,
Doth in that last clutch he!
And nations round thee, England,
Prepare 10 see The die!
England! thy sun Is setting
Thy glory waxeth dim;
Thy Genius, her charge forgetting,
Chaunts forth thy dying hymn

THE WIND.

The NlND.
The Wind is bachelor,
Merry and free;
He roves at his pleasure
Ger land and o'er sea;
lie rufties the lake,
And he kisses the flower,
And he sleeps when he lists
In a jasmine bower.
He gives to the check
OF the maiden its blossom
He tastes her warm kisses,
Enjoys their perfume,
But truant like, often
The swee. tina: he sips
Are lavished next moment
On loyerlier lips.
