The rich live in fear. Reduce a man to one
pair of breeches, and his view Of ~futurity VIII
BE- as buoyant as cork. Make him a Million
aire and he will worry from year end to year

and trembling for the stock he owns in some

The Cuban Massacre.

The Cuban Massacre.
A wall of woe comes DER the sea,
AS anguish DER a hope-lit heart;
The heralds of red massacre, T
Careering far and near, upstart
All feelings, but the sense 0 ffear-.
All thought that triumph DER despair;
For those that die there is a tear,
For those that live, a hope, a prayer.
A hope, that all the brave and true,
That combat in a glorious cause,
May nobly dare and bravely do
For Freedom and for Freedoms laws;
A prayer that rises DER the din
Of battle in its darkest hour
A prayer, that must be, and has been
Gratefulto the Almighty power,
The God of Battles, ever just,
Whose mighty spirit still pervades
And animates the heroic dust,
And calls from earth the warrior-shades
Of those who, in the olden time,
Went forth to combat for the free,
Hallowed In every age and cline,
And watchwor3s unto liberty
Their spirits wrap their native land,
In ali that's beautiful and brish hi;
And with her grandeur still expand,
And point TO honor, truth ard right,
The brave man never dies, who falls
In freedoms holy cause; his name,
B,azoned beyond Tlne's shadowy walls,
Is dedicate to Heaven and fame.
What tho &c monumental stone,
With its shy-pointiag finger, tell
Who slesEs lea2ath-they still live on;
* ground is hallowed Were they iell,
Tar from the land that gave .hem birth;
With the blue skies above them bent,
They miasle in heroic earth:
That isle shall be their monument.
