PHARAoH's SERPENTs.-If you want n
fully appreciate the aptness Of the follow
ing lines, call on Mr. Mckenzie and inyest
in box Of the eggs:
From the little cone of silver foil
That tiZzes and fumes with fretful ire.
There oozes serpent all yellow and ribbed
That rolls and thickens, and curls still
higher.
The magic thing, as if by SPELL
Suddenly ceases its sluggish crawl
Its fiery breath has quite burnt out,
And leaves coil Of dust-that's all
The wise mans toy is type Of life;
And all our struggles for paltry things:
Our diplomatic treaties and talk, =
Tangled and bound with red-tape strings;
Our spiders webs, and our subtle pldns:
Our love and joy, and our brittle dreams:
Our poor am bltions, that feet away
Fast as the winter torrents streams.
Alexander's conquests. Cnsar's spoils;
All that we hate. and all that we trust;
The beggar's fears, and the rich mans
hopes
All end at last in the pinch of dust.
