IMMIGRANTS.

Each ship doth bring them; see where lost
they stand
In huddled groups, and start from side to
side.
Upon the curious crowds whose looks de-
ride
Their peasant faces, garments strange that
brand
Them aliens; in their far-off native land
Each had his place, though humble, here
the tide
Sweeps him along, an animal duil-eyed,
Patient submissive. What mysterious hand
Has thus uprooted from their ancient place
These myriad exiles, cast them on our
shore,
And what the purpose? Shall our country
be
The crucible of nations whence race
Shall issue IN dim ages TO restore
Gods image to mankind, and make men
free?

can Magazine.
