KING CHOLERA.

A fearful whisper comes from the East.
or raging monster, eaunt and grim,
Making Vf men a vampire-feast,
Highest and lowest, greatest and least
And all be hnds are food for him.
And ever westward he holds his way,
Marching with slow, insidious tread
His victims struggle, aud weep and pray
And naught bis terrible hunger can stay,
Till his path Is strewu with thousand dead
Squalor he loves, and Filth and Crime;
What shall we do 10 avert his wrath
o, can we not purge our land in time,
With charcoal, water, aud sprinkled lime,
And leave ne place for his hideous path
Or, will our rulers no danger know,
Till at our door King Cholera halts,
While dead-carts hither and thither 20,
And the thick air shudders with cries Of woe,
And everywhere cape the burial vaults ?
Take heed of the warning Dow-take heed,
While still thero Is time our homes to save
For everywhere ripens the poisonous seed
On which King Cholera loves to feed,
That our land may be 4 mighty gravei
Cleanse, o, Peoplei your cutters and styes,
fostering kenness and filthy slums,
Reeking under the dog-day skies
For-if their stencil must still arise,
What shall We do when King Cholera comes
