THE EXILES OF SIBERIA.

The laws of the Russian Empire re-
quire that all those condemned, in what
ever part of the country they may have
received sentence, should pass through
Moscow on their way to Siberia: the
traveller who may have CHANGED to be
there during the weekly gathering, will
have little difficulty in recognizing facts
IN the following account =
On reaching that city they are allowed
a brief rest in the convict prison, their
daily journey being SO calculated that
the separate bands all arrive there from
divers directions each Saturdaynight.
After resting throughout the ensuing
week, during which term they are re-
lleved OF their chains, they are despatch
ed In one common band on the second
Monday after their arrival. The prison
Is divided into two or three courts. each
strictly guarded by sentinels. In the
hrst OF these both sexes are to be seen
mingling Unfortunately, and are dress
ed alike in long loose great coats, made
OF kind of gray cloth, the only distin-
gushing mark is, that the men have half
their heads shaved-whilst the women
retain their long hair-a privilege also
granted to the men as regards their
boards; which decoration is the pride and
delight both of the merchant class and
the peasantry. They are led thence to a
second court, where their names are re-
gistered, as also their crimes and history
here they make their petitions; some
soliciting leave to travel by the side of a
Dfother'a iellow-exile, poor consolation.

The examination past, the exiles are
led to a third court, where the letters are
placed on the whole band. This is
most cruel and brutal affair. The letters
consist of couple of heavy iron rings,
one for each ankle, united by chain not
adapted to the size of the person and his
length of stride, but of one unvarying
length. about two feet. This is connect
ed, by means of links, from four to five
inches long, with another chain fastened
around the waist. The hoops on the an
kle are not fastened by paddock, so as
to be removed at night, but are riveted
by the executioner, who drives an iron
bolt through the rings, and by strong and
careless hammering, (for often misses the
mark and strikes the fesh,) fattens the
bolt at both ends in such way that re-
moval is impossible except by means Of
the file; and with these chains, the poor

Because I was Laureate
To them and the King.
From its sources which well
From the Tarn on the Fell,
From its fountains
In the mountains,
It's rills and its gills,
Through moss and thro' brake,
1t runs and it creeps
For awhile till it sleeps
In its own little Lake.
And thence, at departing,
Awakening and starting,
1t runs through the reeds,
And away it proceeds,
Through meadow and glade,
In sun and in shade,
And through the wood shelter,
And crags in its furry,
Helter-skelter,
Hurry-skurry;
Here it comes sparkling,
And there it lies darkling,
Now smoking and frOthing
It's tumult and wrath in,
Till in the swift race
On which it is bent,
1t reaches the place
Of its steep descent.
The Cataract strong
Then plunges along,
Striking and raging,
As if a war waging
Its caverns and rocks among;
Rising and leaping,
Sinking and creeping,
Swelling and sweeping,
Showering and springing,
Flying and flinging,
Writing and ringing,
Eddying and whisking,
Spouting and frisking,
Turning and twisting,
Around and around
With endless rebound;
Shifting and fighting,
A sight to delight in,
Confounding, astounding,
)izzying and deafening the ear with it
sound.
Collecting, projecting,
Receding and speeding,
And shocking and rocking,
And darting and parting,
And threading and spreading,
And whizzing and kissing,
And dripping and skipping
And hitting and splitting,
And shining and twining,
And rafting and battling,
And shaking and quaking,
And pouring and roaring,
And waving and raving,
And tossing and crossing,
And flowing and going,
And running and stunning,
And foaming and roaming,
And Dining and spinning,
And dropping and hopping,
And working and jerking,
And juggling and struggling,
And heaving and cleaving,
And moaning and groaning,
And glittering and frittering,
And gathering and feathering,
And whitening and Frightening,
And quivering and shivering,
And hurrying and skurrying,
And laundering and laundering.
Dividing and gliding and sliding,
And falling and sprawling and brawlin
And driving and irving and striving,
And sprinkling and bounding and rounC
ing,
And bubbling and troubling and doublin
And grumbling and rumbling and tun
bling,
And gathering and battering and shatte
ing.
Retreating and beating and meeting ar
sheeting,
Delaying and staying and playing al
spraying,
Advancing and prancing and glancing al
dancing,
Recoiling, turmoiling and toiling and bo
ing,
And cleaning and streaming and stear
ing and beaming,
And rushing and flushing and blushir
and gushing,
Ana curling and purling and whirlir
and twirling,
And humping and Pumping and buml
ing and jumping,
And dashing and flashing and splashiu
and clashing,
And SO never ending, but always descen,
ing,
sounds and motions for ever and ever a,
blending,
All at once and allo'er with a mighty u
roar,
And this the way the water comes dow
