When thy tempeStuOus carols shock
My morning sleep!-And reused. see
And feel, as Well-the arch-fiend'S glee-
The pangS of hell
You poor old crow!
Can 1t be true. that in this place
A featherleSS biped scans thy face,
And claims in thee a kindred race?
And, hast thou known,
AS time has flown
That all thy rugged bursts of soul
Had brought thy kinsman from his hole
Whose kith and kin thou now wOuldSt own:
And, from whose tongue thy accents flow?
Jim Crow may be thy caged-up dad,
For all know! thy lot is sad!
pity thee-it is too bad
You poor old crow!
And doth our editor lOll at ease.
To jibe and jeer in times like these,
And WELD his quill. thy heart to tease?
O mOnstrOus deed!
My heart does bleed
TO think that thou of royal seed,
From days of Barnaby Rudge come down
ShouldSt hear such ScandalOus TRADES flow
To roast thee up so rich and brown,
And leave thee in clamOrOus glow!
Off! Off, pray! Go scOur the sky!
My sympathy take-sneak off and die
You poor old crow!

Horrors to Come With the Next War.


Various experiments with the new rifles which
have recently taken place in Germany have de-
monstrated in very conclusive manner that
another war would be practically one of ami
hilation. we'll known French writer, in an
article which he devotes to the subject, today
SAYS that the battlefield would at the termina-
ton of the engagement be covered with two or
three hundred thousand corpses all crushed and
broken and would be nothing but vast charnel
house. No one would be left to bury the Dead
and pestilence would in its turn sweep away the
country people. Pointing the moral. he adds
that the man-emperor, king or president of
a republc-whO under these conditions, would
expose the human race to such a fate would be
the greatest criminal that the world had ever
SEEN it is toerably plain that the horrors and
the butchery which war would entail are be-
coming more and more recognized, and that the
terrible vista thus opened out is exercising
SOLDERING effect ON those who were formerly
wont to discuss various eventualities with a
light heart:-LOndOn Telegraph.
