THE POOR MAN.

God grant the poor man constant health,
To toll for daily bread
lie has no earthly wealth,
And must he clo,hod and fed.
The proud Of place will grind his face,
The hard withhold his hire
Grea, Parent heed bis piteous case,
And guard his cottage FIRE.
Thou carest for the little birds
That own no earthly lord
Thou carest for the nocks and herds
That crop the flowry swaid,
Hearst tho young ravens when they cry,
Heed the young lions fonr,
And wilt reward the poor mans sigh,
And meek petition moro.
Then grant the pool mnn constant health,
And strength for early toll,
With sweet content, tho dearest wealth
OF weary moIial moil
And grant him power To Iulo his mind,
To own affections sway,
Aud nurse the charities designed
To smooth his pilgrim way.

THE OLD CHAPEL BELL
A BALLAD.
BY JOHN G. SAKE,
AUTHOR or PROGRESS" A SATIRE, ETC.
Within church. yards sacred ground,
Whose fading tablets tell,
Where they who built the village church
IN solemn silence dwell,
HalEhidden in tho earth, there lies
An ancient Chapel. Bell
Broken, docayed and covered DER
With moulderng leaves and rust
It's very name and dutc concealed
Beneath cankcriug crust
Forgotten like its curly friends,
Who sleep in neghboring dust.
Yet was il once n trusty Bell,
OF most sonorous lung,
And many joyous wedding peal,
And many knell had rung,
EIe time had cracked its brazen sides,
And bioke its iron tongue.
And many youthful heart had danced
III merry christmas time,
To hear It's pleasant roundclay,
Sung out in ringing rhyme;
And many n worldly thought been checked
To list liz Sabbath chime.
A youth--a bright and happy boy,
One sultry summors's dav,
Fatigued, at last, with bat and ball,
Glanced hitherward 10 stray.
To read little book he had
And rest him from his play.

INDEPENDENCE OF IRELAND.-A public meeting
has been called of the friends of Ireland, to meet
tomorrow evening at the Shakespeare Hotel, to
take measures for the establishment OF the indie
pendence of Ireland. This is all wrong. Irish
men in this country should act as Americans-in
favor of human liberty all over the world-not
for one small island, or any people in particular.
The glorious revolution in France is too impor-
taut crisis in human affairs for the American
people to act hastily or indiscreetly II any ac
ton is taken, 1t should be by the government
of the United States, supported by all parties and
every State-such action as will tell in Europe.
