From the Dublin Nation.
THR ROSEMARY CROWN.

Waiting in sorrow and mOurningi
Waiting through glOOmiest night;
Glad in the robe Of the cypress;
Craving for beauty and light.
Centuries lifted the nations,
And hurled wrongs pinnacle down;
Yet still holy ireland IL waiting,
And wearing the Rose mary Crown.
Oh the fuln0ss Of joy in the hoping,
The rich light which fancy had dreamed,
Whence once for the lapse Of q moment
The sunlight of liberty stTeamed.
How we planted ths flag on our towers,
And waved it Ger mountain and town
But, alas sttll the cypress was blooming
Alas for the Rosemary Crown.
Ill.
And lonely, and Ion ely, and lonely,
A watcher still sat by the sea,
With face as the white marble psllid,
And eyes gazing mournfully;
With hands lifted up In HppeAling,
That God would His mercy send down,
And the leaves Of the laurel be shining
Where rested the Rosemary Crown.
".
We gave her the song Of the poet,
We gave her the work of the brain,
Cast the glory of Heaven around her;
Yet still all our work Was inane.
"She is dead, ;" said the scot Of the stranger
A laugh for the cynic clown
All little be knew the wild passion
Long hid in the Rosemary Crown.
v.
Now, tho love and hope Of world,
Doar Mother, thy children have brought
Tho hard handed strength Of the soldier,
The blade OF the mind full OF thought;
The earnsstness martyrs have taught US,
Tho strength Of their glorious renown--
To the graves Of the dead shall be borne
The leaves of the Rosemary Crown.
VI.
Weep not 'tis the hour of the dawningj
Weep not we are ready to save;
Nor reck of r newer heart broken,
Nor rock Of another fresh grave.
Der the graves we have marched in the past
time,
Der the graves Of tho dead still are bound,
Till the leaves of the bay shine as fairly
As dRrkIy the Rosemary Crown.

If il should be suddenly announced throughout

and Spanish America that no moro HOSTEL
TIERS BlTTERS would be manufactured, and
that henceforth the GRAND SPECIFIC FOR Drs-
PEPsIA, and preventative Of all malarious disea-
ses would be LOST TO THE WORLD! The bilious,
the feeble, the respondent; the traveller, the
voyager, the miner, the sedentary student the
settler on the frontier of civilization; the toiler,
cooped up in crowded city tenements, the con-
valescent, needing an inyigorant; the shivering
victim of ague, and the nervous Of both sexes
everywhere, would learn with gLief, too deep
for words, that the most celebrated corrective,
invigorant and Alternative Of the age, had been
blotied out Of existence. AS a PREPARATORY
lNTIDoIE to epidemic disease, genial stimu-
LIANT, a promoter Of constitutional vigor, an APP
petizer, a stomachic, and a remedy for nervous
debility, DO medicinal preparation has ever at
tanned the reputation of HOSTETTER'S BIT
TIERS. Iii the HOUSEHOLD TONIC Of the
AMERICAN PEOPLE-has been so for TWEEN
ty years, and in all human probability will be so
for centuries to come. The magnates Of Sci
ence recognize is merits; and that it is emphat-
ically the medicine of the masses is proved by
its vast and ever increasing sales.

There are ROW about three hundred boats
