A CHANGE IN 1.-THE MAI OF EUROPE
Elections have recently taken place in the
Ionian Islands in reference to the proposed
annexation of the islands to Greece. AS
yet we only know the results Of the vote
in Corfu and Paxos, both Of which islands
have pronounced, through the representa-
tives elected, in favor Of the anncxation.-
No doubt, however, is entertained that the
other islands Ccphalonia, Zante, Santa
Maura, Ithacs, and C~rigo have also pro-
nounccd in in favor of the union. On the
1st of October, tho Ionian Parliament was
opened at Corfu, and as it was to consum-
mate the union with Greece, the greatest
enthusiasm prevailed among its members.
England having declared her readiness to
abandon her protectOrate over the islands,
and the other powers having made no OBJ
lection to this arrangement, the vote Of the
lonian Parliament removes the only obsta-
Gle which could hinder the reunion.
For many centuries these islanders have
been politically separated from their kirs-
men in Greece Proper. In the 18th cen.
tuary they we've occupied by the Kings of
Sicily, and the 14th they fell under the
jurisdiction of the Venetians, and so re
uA0itbou tIt tuC ldh VI ' ctilCo tuIcW tucm
into the hands Of the French by the treaty
of Cambo Formio, Russia and Turkey
conjointly expelled the French, and in 1900
erected them into Septinsular Republic,
which, under the protection Of Turkey,
failed as an experiment of self government.
By secret article in the treaty of Tilsit,
1907, they were given to the French, but
being taken by the British, they were Sc
cured to that power by the treaty of Paris,
Nov. Q, 1915. Since the establishment OF
the kingdom Of Greece the islanders have
ALWAYS expressed desire to be annexed to
the kinsdom, and several times the Legisla-
tive Assembly Of Corfu has unanimously
passed resolutions to that effect. But the
British government altogether ignored these
steps until 1862, when, during the negoti-
atoms about the selection of new king
for Greece, she declared her readiness to
comply with the wishes of the Ionians.
Thus another change has been effected in
the arbitrary and iniquitious disposition
which the European powers in 1916 made
of the map of Europe, and another con.
cesson made to the fundamental principles
of European democracy. which demands q
reconstruction Of the map Of Europe on
the basis Of the distinct European nation.

~ WILLIAM HENRY BRA1NRRD.
Oh ! who would arm himself for hire,
Or barter life for daily bread,
His blood to quench Revenge's fire.
His wreath to deck Ambitions headl
He knoweth not that bosom's swell
Which lights the eye, and nerves the hand,
Which speeds the arrow flight Of TsLL,
And bids US die for father-laud!
This spirit reigns when hearth Is cold
When tears have quench'd the affairs light
When woman's trembling arms enfold
The lov'd one ere he seeks the tight,
CT breathes the vow, or bares the blade,
For all OF earth that man holds good,
That the green hills where he h ath play'd
May drink his sacrifice Of blood
Behold how glohously be dies;
The prize is gained for which he strove,
Aud the staiaed turf whereon he lie,
Issofter than the arms of lsve:
Hc lifts his weak head from the sod,
As the blythe bugle peals through air,
And thanks for victory, to God,
Commingle with his dying prayer!
Aye BY this spirit, only this,
A thousand victories shall be won,
Each ocean-strife Salamis,
Each battlefield . Marathon;
And every slave shall rend his chain,
Wherc'er this spirits whispers come,
Erin shall wake her Tyre again,
Samatria call her exiles homoy
