POETRY
WRITTEN EOR THE IRISH REPUBLIC
There is no Land, Ireland, Like Thee.

That frown defiance on the sea,
That beats along the rocks, and thrills
Ny spirit with its melody.
For as the wild waves onward ROLL
They sing of Freedom to my soul
Great Natures fingers sweeping Ger
The rock strings of the lyric shore
Yet all their music sings to me,
"There is no land, Ireland, like thee"
I saw the sable brow of night
GLOW meath the chaste cold kiss of morn
That passed, in waves of breathing light,
Over the seas of golden corn
saw the streams down headands run,
Curled by the fingers of the sun
In golden flows and earths fair face
Boomed like spirits dwelling place,
While angel voices sang ONE,
"There is no land, Ireland, like thee"
God smiled on our green land when she
Was moulded of celestial birth;
He set her in the blue ring'd sea,
To save her from the touch of EARTH
He breathed upon her, and there
To her soul of holy flame,
That burns, and bounds, within her breast.
AT clank of chains in mad unrest,
And, cirqued by the translucent sea,
"There is no land, Ireland, like thee"
Oh, whit race, my love, was thine,
Whose souls like eagles swept the sky;
The hilltop the ir spirits shrine,
Their choir the wild winds chanting by.
The great sea, at the altar stairs,
Rolled up from it's lips its rich toned prayers ;
The deep voice of the thunder thrills,
Throbb'd like heart beats thro' the hills;
And souls imprisoned walked abroad,
And looked in the face of God unawed.
No temple built by human hand,
Could cramp the souls in its faint embrace,
That sprang to life at Gods command,
And swept beside Him shoreless space.
Their souls being free, no despot brood
Could look on their fair land subdued.
No canting priest dare preach the lie
That evil came from Gods bright sky
For had not He, with shining hand
Traced his law all DER the land
Tho chained, and scourged and crucifed,
OF old thou ddst enchant the world;
But base gods deifed,
Beneath whose feet thy flags furled.
While, at their red, unholy feasts,
Sit pampered Lords, and Judas Priests,
Who burn rich incense at their shrine,
While broken hearts are laid on thine.
But God is God, and thou shalt be,
Yet throned above idolatry
Thy days are not. the days of men,
Thy life not measured by such line;
Great souls leap out for thee, and then
Like streams to sea flow into thine.
Fair heads may tester in the sun,
And blood in seething rivers run;
While those are blanched in dews and rains,
This flows into thy myriad veins
And beats unto the crimson sea,
Whose heart throbs immortality.
Men bare their breasts unto the knives
OF tyrants, and with dying speech
Cry fools, she lives above our lives,
Beyond your daggers' puny reach"
Throned on the rock-based hills, her sour
Smiles above your mad control;
And like the angry sea, you beat
In useless fury at her feet
The curse foam from your crimson hps'
Falls DER you like foul eclipse.
Tho hell, with all her red-tongued priests,
From false hearts cry, Anathema

adyices from the City of Mexico to the

much misery. throughout the Republic
in consequence of the exhaustion and
DISCRIMINATION caused by the protract-
ed war for independence. A general
call was made upon the 9Th ult., to take
effective measures to prevent the III

The steamship Virginia, from Vera

that quarter. The revolution in luca-

Santa Anna had been proclaimed dicta-

Telegraph to the Register

IoSpoN, December 27.-Another oil
those iendish outrages which charae-
terize~ the operations of the Fenian
Brotherhood has just been perpetrated
ut Dublin. A telegram from there was
received to-day giving the following
particulars: An unusually large number
of letters have recently been received
at the Postofice at Dublin directed TO
prominent officials. Each one of these
letters was loaded with explosive mate
rails, designed to kill the person al
dressed. Several exploded before their
real mature was ascertained, but up to
this time no person has been killed.
A policeman who received one OF these
letters was horribly mangled by the
sxplosiou. 1t is not known how many
of these dangerous missiles have
been despatched. Considerable excite
mept prevails both in Dublin aud
everywhere throughout the country on
the discovery of this, the latest Fenian
outrage. The authorities are actively
engaged in investigating the matter
and will no doubt probe it to the bot
tom. The Times has an editorial arti-
Gle on the Fenian question, and says
that no less than $4,000 special consta-
HES have been sworn in and are now
serving in London. The writer calls
the attention of the public to this grave
danger and advises the provincial cities
and towns to emulate the precautionary
movements of the metropolis.
