POETRY.
A Quaint Poem.

1.-THE Cope Tobacco Plant, tradel journal in
London, is beginning to attract attention for
some literary gems it contains. The journal
itself is said to contain great deal of genuine
wit, and to display frequently literary and
biographical knowledge which is remarkable
A recent poem given below, published in il
by an anonymous person. has created quite q
sensation in London, and was sent to the Chi.
cago lnter-ocean by the London correspondent,
with the remark that it is regarded in London
as equaling some of Tom Hoods's best poems i
THE cAsUAL's LAST PIPE.
But little they know and less they care,
These crowds that pass in the glitter and glare,
SO proud of their high position,
What 1t is to be held in the parish fold,
And fed on hunger, and clothed with cold;
With the last crust gone, and the last rag sold,
And the soul on the edge of perdition.
I could preach 'em sermon, but need my breath
10 blow my one comfort 'twixt this and death,
From bowl that's black as my heart is;
Yes, yes. old pipe, thou art black and foul,
Just Mt to be stuck in my ugly jowl,
Your one eye CLEANS like the eye of an owl,
UDft TOR respectable parties.
As to starvation, well, can say
Pve lived upon that for many day,
Till my skin is too big for its scaffold.
There1l be the less to bury, no doubt,
There isn't worm butt turn up his snout
At finding himself so baf1ed.
"Gone out, my old pipe? Well, need not wait,
For hear them unbarrng the dngy gate;
wish 'twouid close on me forever.
Lie safe in my bosom till morning comes
10 find you again in my toothless gums,
While seek for refuse In filthy Sums,
And warm my old bones with a shiver.
Now, what the pauper dreamed in his dreams
i cannot tell, nor you; but it seems
That his sleep was sound and lasting.
When the summons came to go breaking stones
They found just bundle of senseless bones,
And the coroner said, in plainest tones
1.-THE cause of his death was fastingv'
One hand was grasping his pipe full fast,
As fighting death for that till the last
His cheapest and dearest treasure.
However, they bundled him into shell,
And hurried him off to his grave pell NELL,
And all the tears that over him fell
Might be kept in bottomless measure.
