That roam the regions CT the lost,
No matter whether fiend or ghost,
Should break our rule,
We'd have an extra fire, and roast
The prating fool.
For your advice thonk you much;
By it see your wisdom such
As yet may make you such crutch
AS may need,
When shall feel the whitening touch
Of age indeed.
As yet, however. am free
From old ages helpless idiocy
There's wit enough still left in me
To manage well,
To maintain my supremacy
Ger earth and hell.
"Yes, Devils still I can control,
And poor weak mortals can cajole-
But bark twelve now the clock doth toll
must away,
For, being somewhat like an owl,
shun the day.
"And ere the morn, with ruddy glow,
Der Eastern hills its light shall throw,
I've much to do and far to go,
So then adieu--
Sometimes thought on me bestow,
win on YOU"
There is no need, for sake of me-"
Quoth l, "to tax your memory,
For I have no desire to be
In your good grace;"
The demon shook his head-says he
"Well, you're easel"
With that he rose upon the blast,
And quickly from my sight he passed
In flames, that far their cleaning cast;
Made lightning dim
By their fierce glare, and that's the last
saw of him.
But, following swiftly in his fight,
The tempest fed, and fair and bright
The moon shone out. and robed in light
Hill, vale, and stream
o, none e'er saw fairer sight
In brightest dream.
And long unused, and wondered while
So many beauties round us smile.
The stain of sin should e'er deile
A world like this;
That man should let his passions vile
So poison bliss.
But wondered most if true or not
What had heard upon that spot,
If it were Satanic plot
Artful and deep;
At length sought my humble cot,
And-went to sleep.

"That e'er lie nearer comes oursel
IS a muckle pity"
(coNcLUDED.)
And he may rise, for aught I care
His soul is such small affair,
'Twould take at least dozen pair
To pay ones ferry
Over the Styx, as tolls now are
In Charon's wherry.'
I" He, too, boasts love for all mankind;
But actions show, and you will find
That boast as empty as the wind
AS oft the case is;
On Mammons grindstone he can grind
The poor mems faces.
Compound of meanness and of pride
Is he-yet held up as guide,
In whom the people can confde,
Because he shows
A willingness to take their side
Against their foes.
"Theres -, too. who, you can see,
In looks somewhat resembles me,
Having my physiognomy,
Barring my horns;
Which make some take my head to be
A unicorn's
/" Not less is the resemblance seen
In character than face, ween;
He's proud, unpriucipled and keen
Can scheme and plot
But in his dealings somewhat mean,
Which I am not.
" He, too, processes wondrous love
For the dear people-their wrongs move
His Utmost soul. He stands above
The mass and sheds
The tears, that doth their foes reprove,
Upon their heads.
" But not an inch will he descend,
Or stoop helping hand to lend,
Never in deed will he befriend;
Tears he can weep
For you-words he can spend
For both are cheap.
There's -, and -, too, who, men
Are rich in virtue as in gold;
Two noble Democrats, whole-souled-
Worthy all praise
But ali could tale unfold,
AS Shakespeare says
I" A tale as long as this of mine;
'Twould strip them of their feathers fine,
The angel plumes in which they shine,
Should folks believe it,
But then you wouldn't, opine,
And so I'll leave it.;
"And merely say, that though they bear
The name of Democrats, they are
The most aristocratic pair
That treads your soil;
That they despise the men who wear
The marks of toll
=" No MORE" quoth I, ''for by this last
I plainly see your day is past,
Your second childhood's coming fast,
And even now
It's whitening spell is DER you cast,
And you must bow.
Though king of all the realm of fire,
Honored and venerated sire
Of every lie and every liar
Father of strife
IT'S now high time that you retire
TO private life.
{" Yes, though no doubt tits very fine
Among hell's chiefs the chief to shine,
Since now your strength and wits decline,
Leave plotting evils;
And all your honors, too resign
To younger devils.
" For if you bungle things like this,
Your subjects, in yon dread abyss,
Will raise one universal hiss
At you, old Ounce
Not strive to cheer and make miss,
AS they did once;

Had undone man and woman too,

We ran to the dark spot in the centre of
the mass, and found two little boys, the head
of the smaller nesting in the bosom of the
larger-both were fast asleep! The lethargy
which would have been fatal but for the tine-
ly rescue, had overcome them. MIR Larkin
gr1sped one of the lads, cut off his shoes, tore
off his jacket, and then loosing his own gar
ments TO the skin, placed the chilled child in
contact with his own warm body, carefully
wrapping over him his great coat, which he
procured from the boat. / did the same with
the other child-and we then returned to the
boat, and the men, partially recovered, pulled
slowly back.
The children, as we learned when we sub
sequently had the delight of restoring them
to their parents, were playing on the ice, and
had ventured on TO the cake which had JAM
ed into bend'of the river about ten miles a.
bove New York. A movement of'the tide set
the ice in motion, and the little fellows were
borne away on that cold night and would i'll
evitably have persisted, but for Mr. LarIIiu's
espying them as the ice was sweeping out TO
sea.
"How do you feel?" said to the mate the
morning after this adventure.
"A little stiff in the arms, captain," the no.
BILE fellow replied, while the big tears ofgrate-
fu happiness gathered i'll his eyes-"A little
stiff in the arms, captain, but very easy here"

This last scheme ofthe Captains had the

THE ENGLISH CHARTIsTs-
THEIR HISTORY AND oRJEcTs.

|
The Chnrtists owe their origin to the as
socntion ola portion of the English and
Scotch operatives, who were dissatisfied with
the provisions of the Parliamentary Reiorfa
Bill, passed in 1881. Although that measure
abolished the rotten borough system, aud
greatly extended The privileges of the people
and was generally acceptable to The middle
classes and yeomanry-yet us it stopped short
of universal suffrage, and consequently eXs
cluded most ofthe poorer classes OF opera
tives in the manufacturing and mining dis
ticts, every occasion of public distress was
seized upon ly dcnIngoeues TO agitate that
portion ofthe population, particularly in tha
large manufacturing towns; such ms Manchesy
ter, Birmingham Leeds, Sheffield, Glasgow,
&c. These dcmagogues persuaded the ops
eratiyes, that most Of the evils they suffered
under were occasioned by the organization
of Parliament, and the exclusion Of the poors
err classes from tho right Of voting,
In 1888, the objects and views OF the radis
calls were set forth in a document called ems

members ofthe House ofCommons, md sig
