THE EMlCRANTS.
By OLIVER GOLDSMITH.


Ssood Heavens! what sorrows gloomed that
parting day.
That called them from their native walks away;
When the poor exiles every pleasure past,
Hung ronnd the bowers and fondly looked
their last,
And took IL long farewell and wished IN VAIN
For homes like those across the Western main;
And shudderng still to face the distant deep,
2eturn'd and wept, ami still return'd TO weep.
The good old sire, the first prepared to go
70 new found worlds and wept for others
woe;
But for himself in conscious virtue brave,
He only wished for worlds beyond the grave,
His lovely daughter lovlier in her tears,
The fond companion of his helpless years,
Silent went next neclectfu OF her charms,
And left a lovers for her fathers arms.
With louder plants the mother spoke her woes
And bless'd the cot where every pleasure rose
And kissed her thoughtless babes with many
tear
And clasp'd them close in sorrow doubly dear
Whilst her fond husband strove to lend relief
In all the silent manliness OF grief,
Fen now methinks rs pond'rng here stand,
see the rural virtues leave the Land
Down where yon anchoring vessel spreads III
sail,
That idly waiting flaps with every gale,
Downward they move, a melancholy band,
Pass from the shore and darken all the strand

Science and Art in ireland.

That in the opinion of this house science and
art education in Ireland. especially as applied |
to manufactures and industry, ana the oinusion

classes, is in an unsatisfactory aud deiecuvs
condition. and that it is exp%disnt ana just ana

about this. and some other gentleman
from Ireland and the Chancellor OF the
