THE EMILE.

The die liz cnst-you did cssny
4" snatch Gods Kingdom from his hnnd
And on your sword you vowed a vow
That none should miEhticr he than thou!
And for while you held full sway
On sen, in air and land.
You spoke, and rivers ran with blood;
lou inughcd TO sec the crimson food.
Upon tho hearts or men you trod,
Aud outraged all the InwS OF God.
You scored at Justice and mt Right
And Tlorincd your Rule of Might.
You claimed divinity too high
L" henr the conGuered's nnEuishcd cry:
n sovereign power great 10 heed
when dying souls for mercy plead,
so sat you on your earthly throne
And urged your murdroux creatures on
Your day is done. You're conquered now
Despite your proud and banstful vow.
Imprisoned on 81 desert isle
What your thoughts the weary while.
You start. All now you feel the blow
or brutal boot on PROSTATE foe.
You shrek, for memories arise,
You hear IA mothers anEuishcd cries,
And though you strive, ne'er forget
The bnbe impnIed bayonet.
"kiil out the brood" WINS your command,
THAT Germans mny possess the land"
Right well your mandates obeycd.
What would You give were they unsaid:
Wherccr you EnZe, before your eyes
Fresh visions of your sin. arise.
The lcadcn clouds red are turning
In them You sec fnir cities burninE;
The niSts creep inward from the sen
And drift about you silently.
You shrink and bow your pnlsied head;
They seem your U-bonts' pnIiid dend.
Your cabin shelters you more,
You know full well there guards the door
4 youthful soldier. crucifed.
4 sword within his side!
And nlI the things thnt You have done
Are set before you, by
Nowhere you find peace;
May God your wretched soul release!

There must have been grim satisfaction for
the officials of Hun-held towns and cities in
France and Belgium in secretly keeping strict
account Of tho losses inflicted by the tyran-
meal invaders on their communities and cit
izens. These little bills are being brought
forth for presentation, all carefully itemized
III the most businesslike way with names
dates and circumstances. The totals will
send cold shivers along the backs of Hun
taxpayers. Probably no claims in all the
history of the world have been collected with
the gloating joy that will attend the cxtrac-
ton OF these formidable sums from the
Naiser the Emperor and the Sultan. or their
