POET LAU-MATZ.  The Son of him with whom we strove for power— Whose will is lord thro all his world-domain— Who made the serf a man, and burst his chain— Has given our Prince his own Imperial Flower,  And welcome, Ruzsian flower, a people's pride. To Britain, when her flowers begin to blow! From love o love, from home to home you go, From mother unto mother, stately bride, Marie Akzandrowna The golden news along the steppes is blown, And at thy name the Tartar tents are !Aired; Elburz and all the Caucasus have heard; And all the sultry palms of India known, . _ Alezandrowna.  ----The voices of our universal sea On capes of A fric as on cliffs of Kent, The Maoris and that Isle of Continent, And loyal pines of Canada murmur thee. Marie Alexandrowna! Fair empires branching, teth, in lusty life!— Yet Harold's England fell to Normans words; Yet thine own land has bow'd to Tartar hordes Since English Harold gave its throne a wife, Alexandrowna! For thrones and peoples are as waifs that swing. And float or fall, in endle a ebb and flow: But who love best have best the grace to know That Love by right divine is deathless king, Marie Alexandrowna! IV. And Love }ma led thee to the stranger land, Where men are bold and strongly say their say ; see, empire upon empire smiles to-day, As thou with thy young lover hand in hand, Alexandrowna! So now thy fuller life is in the West, Whose hand at home was gracious to thy poor • Thy name was blest within the narrow door; Here also, Marie, shall thy name be blest. Marie Alexandrowna! V. Shall fears and jealous hatreds flame again? Or at thy coming, Princess, eveiywhere, The blue heaven break, and some diviner air Breathe thro' the world and change the hearts of men, Alexandrowna? But hearts that change not, love that cannot cease, And peace be yours, the peace of soul in soul! Awl howsoever this wild world may roll, Betwven yo,,r peoples truth and manful peace, Alfred—Alexandre Waft  An inquest was held on Monday, on the members of the Coombes family, who have been poisoned, three more of whom, the father and two little children (girls), died on Saturday.
