THE PRESIDENTS PROGRESS.
A Patriotic Poem.
BY PLUTARCH PUFFE

BY PLUTARCH PUFFER.
IRT 3D.---Heretfs he Poet first discouyes OF Lin,s
Pursues The "Irogress !" sings about newspapers,
interesting and sublime matteJS; concluting the
Grand Bal dt tShdaaondale.
XVI.
"To you" the Loco Banker said,
"When Jackson ruled, the people fed
Yes, even when neutral Tyler came,
The people, sir, they did the same!"
XVII.
81 grant it," was the shrewd reply,
"But, Banker, you well as
Perceive the people nolo glad
Before, they ate in silence sad,
xvIu.
More as necessity than pleasure,
While now their joy 3 beyond all measure;
There are two different ways 10 eat,
The one lis sour, the other sweet"
XIX
To which said Banker: ssrutl tut! tuti''
And both his hands IN pockets put;
While Sandy, with approving look,
Wrote down the speeches in book.
Xxx.
At last the voices, finding vent,
Three times did cheer President,
And afterward did also come
Three cheers for Sandy, three for Druml
XXI.
Whereat His Excellency gave,
At Banker first then lady-brave,
A look which seemed to signify,
''You see how popular am I!''
XXI.
Then turned his happy mind to Minb---
Not having handy pen and ink
A grand inaugural, that would
On Fourth OF March be passing goodI
XIII.
In these emotions of his mind
No sympathy did Banker find,
Nor lady-brave; for, strange to tell,
The crowd received not them so well.
XIV.
As consolation, Banker rang
His silver, and in loud tone sang
Part of IN opera while She,
The damsel famed for chivalry,
Axv.
Remembered mountains far away
Battles magnificent array
The fearless march--the fiery charge
And every incident at large.
xxyI
These varied dreams of glory soon
Were short cut; for the afternoon
Did wane apace ; and carriages
Drove up, with offered services.
XVII.
And "sobery" (the papers tale)
They Travelled or to shannondale:
Yet this may truthfu!ly be said
The party was high-sp61t-ed.
xvii.
The human mind is wonderful
1t takes astounding force to pull
IT'S vigor down, when fairly fired,
By some dear fancy once inspired
xxx.
The poet, with his eyes on Fame,
What cold can chill? What strength can tamei
His brain, his heart, volcanic burn,
And burst: and who shall say ''return"
xxx.
No prison cell could ere control,
No torture daunt, his freeborn soul!
And goad him to the last, he dies
In music that asccnds the skiesl
XXI.
Everywhere, and everywhere
On the green earth-up the blue air
In the lone ship upon the sea
Shall his Joyous spirit be!

A Loud Call to Great Britain for SYM
patny at home.

paIny at nome.
The disposition to pull the mote out of our
brothers eye is stronger than that to pull the
beam out of our own. The philanthropy which
roams much abroad for objects to relieve, while
there are objects equally demanding relief at
home, but not properly regarded, is suspicious.
There is wel-grounded cause for rebuke to
such humanity as this. 1t is not the genuine
disinterestedness of the Gospel; it is not in
character with ''the wisdom that is from above"
two of whose fundamental characteristics are,
that it is without partiality and without hy-
pocrisy."
Hence we have often thought that if Great
Britain would employ herself more exclusively
and efficiently in removing the misery and op-
preston within the British Isles, her philan-
thropy would wear an aspect more genuine
would of course appear more lovely, and tend
more powerfully than it now does to lead others
by its examples. "Behold how we relieve the
pains and evils at our own door," she might
exclaim; "Go thou and do 1ikewise!" He
who reforms himself truly and effectually, does
much to reform the world. In this sense char
ity, or in more circuitous phrase genuine and
disinterested love of God and man, begins at
home.
Many persons in this country are SO ignorant
of the actual state of the world, that they are
not aware of the social evils of Great Britain
We, do not mean to exaggerate them we do not
mean to close our eyes to the much Of real good
that there is in the character and of course, in
the conduct of the British nation. No one can
be more desirous to see the two great families
of the Anglo-Saxon race united in the most
friendly manner, and in every good word and
work, than ourselves. But with this desire
there is nothing inconsistent in our occasion
ally reminding them, in friendly manner, of
their errors, and calling upon them with earn
estness to reform them. So shall their light
effectively shine. So shall the vast and boasted
wealth of Great Britain be applied to remove
many affections under which her own people
now labor, and to diffuse through the world
spirit of true benevolence.
Some years since Louis Philippe visited
Queen Victoria. On that occasion there were
great displays of wealth-great pomp and cir
cumstance of entertainment. writer, whose
attention was drawn to the state of Great
Britain at that juncture, penned an article
which was published extensively at the time,
and which we purpose now to republish, with
some brief comments.
