THE ROMAN TWINS.

Twas told by Roman sootbrayers,
What time they read the Stars,
That Romulus and kemus
= sprang f'ccm the loins Of Mars:
Tsar Romulus ard Remus
Were twin. born Oh the earth,
And in the lap of d she-wolf
Were sackled from their birth.
By Heaven think this Legend
This ancient Roman myth
For mine own time, and mine own climo,
Is full Of pregnant pith.
RomnIus stood with Remus,
And plowed the Latian loan,
And traced, by yellow Tiber,
The nascent walls of Rome:
Then laughed the dark twin, Remus,
And scoGed his brothers toll
And over the bounds Of Romulus
He leaped upon his soil.
BY Heaven! | think that Remus
And Romulus at bay,
o. SLAvERY's rife and LIBERTYs life
Were aDtetypes that day!
The sucklings of the she.wolf
Stood face to face in wrath,
Aud Romulus swept Remus
Like stubble from bis path:
Then crested be with temples
The Seven Hills Of his home,
And bnilded there, by Tiber,
The eternal walls Of Rome
BY Heaven think this legend
Hath store Of pregnant pith;
For mine own time, and mine own cline,
'Tis more than Roman myth!
Like Romulus and Remus,
Ont Of the loips Of Mars,
Oar SLAVERY and our LlBEnTi
Were born from cruel wars.
To both the ALBlc she-wolf
Her bloody suck did give,
And one must slay the other,
Eie one Ia peace can live.
BY Hcavenl this brave Old legend
Straight 10 onr hearts comes home
When SLAVERY dies shall grandly rise

Flingest thou, to curb its utterance,

Over desert wilds Of Edom,
Speaks alike through Greek and Hebrew:
"On TO Freedoml On to Freedom

Hark hear that cry out-swell;

And on Switzer hills, from Tell
Up from spsrtacus, the BoDdmsn, --'1
When bis ty,asts' yoke he clave;
And from stalwart Wat the Tyler,

Sounding DOM through all the ages:

Ut,ering still, through seers and heroes.
Words of Hope and Faith sublime
From our Sydneys and our i1ampdens,
And our Washingtons, they come;
And We cannot, and We dare not,
Make them dumb!

Out of all the snares Of Edon,
Out of Darkness, out Of bondage
