Blest be the ship that brought you safe to shore,
Long fated with the winds and waves 10 wresue,
As that Of old which Virgil proudly bore;
lhy mosto's not you must yourself confess, N.Y.
fe0 never have been 30 much missed before.
They want you now upon another vessel-
The ship Of State Is drifting fast 10 leeward,
And needs your master hand, oh matchless Seward
cannot tell, indeed, but we shall 70
To bayy Jones with such a Painnrus:
There's been q! late 4 ''drcIlcn heavy blow
From busting Auster and destructive Eurus
And able seamanship alone, know
And sure am we should have been undone,
Had you not happily come back from london.
But forgct-you came direct from France,
You've been guest Ut Ccmpiegne Of the E,npereT--
Aethinks see you fghtrst in tho dance,
Like youthful innocence, % 81 Sic Syaper y or
Oghng with looks OF tenderness sskance
The fair Eugcnie in the sweetest temper, or
Apart with Louis, with q cool efrontry,
Plotting the speedy downfall oil your country.
You've made . Pilgrimage another +" Chile"
To Greece, where stood the ancient AthenGum
And roamed through antrcs and desarts' wild,
And heard in minister's dim tho loud Te Dcum;
In galleries stroled where Raphasl's Mary smiled,
And seen the ruins OF the Coliseum
And now return 70 an admrinE nation,
To see the ruins Of your reputation.
mough-yoa're wanted in this country now;
For since you fingered by the fame Of Isis,
They've gone and made, OF such precious row
In Congress over the " Impending Crisis"
By Hinton Helper, not by DR.. Howe,
N which but fifty cents the present price is
They print il cheap 10 make it more access bic,
The text book Of your Conflict Irrepressible.
They've hung John Brown, tho martyr and the saint,
To whom New England sings extravaganzas-
The Devil himself would Wendell Phillips paint
Sky blue, and lowell write him tunciul stsnzas
But spite OF black republican complaint,
You'll hear no more, think, Of !" bleeding Kansas"-
Virginia stopped that terrible phlebotomy,
last month, you know, in hanging Ossa~at0mie.
80, boodiest picture in the book Of Tine ~
Perhaps you II say Twas stern sentence, very;
But old Browns rifle slew (confound the rhyneD
Some worthy citizens at Harpers Ferry:
Think OF the tool and victim OF your crime,
And DER his righteous fate at home make merry,
Or quickly seek North Elba where they've laid him,
And there confess how viley you betrayed him.
We've heard about your knowledge Of his scheme,
And how you said they never should have told yeu,
But kept the guilty secret did you deem
The black republicans had only 90 sold ~ you?
oh, no, You knew twas not hideous dream
No doubts, no consciencetwnges eer controlled you
For this and other true and pleasing stories,
Vide the brilliant speech Of Mr. Voorhees,.
Sweet Auburn loveliest village of the plain,
Well may thy sons in happy groups assemble,
To welcome to his long lost home again
The man whose voice makes listening Senates trcmbl-
AZ fashionable people thrill with pain
At Lacy Macbeth, read by Fanny Kemble-
And who atones at once Tor all his knavery,
By eloquently pitching into slavery
There s prison in that pleas Ant town,
That should have offered you it's hosptAhties
On landscapes peaceful its grim walls look down,
Quito near the Central Railway and Canal It Is
There you nigh. write the life Of Captain Brown
The quietest OF undisturbed 10 ,Aliues;
And there trust that you may ys. be ssi lent
Until the " colored GEM men" make you President.
QUELQU'UN.
