LOS MPOS.--CANFOA AI. Suppose we take our hero up once more For I'm afraid the preface might spin out, A long as when swayed the per before-- Until { might be something of doubt, Whetherl meant to name him any more So what has Sir Ayunta been about, Since our poetic barque Iasf ran aground, Though now once more ahoat 50 taunt and

 sound We left him safe in Boston, believe, philosophizing upon Government, And watching like very son of Eve The endsaon which our mighty ones are

 bent And learning that the fabrics that men

 weave, And all the schemes to which their life is

 lent, Their toll, ambition, rivalry and care, Are something emptier than the empty air. And so, of course, the consequence soon

 was,

 That like too many others he began To judge that he had found sufficient cause r U soori, and to detest his fellow man. Perhaps he had-I have no time to pause, The question like T casuist to discuss 

 That such is commonly the case with youth. He saw men bowing every way to gold He saw base men by wealth stand proudly The while they did their nobler brother

 hold Under their feet, and to his lips the cup Of slavery, debasement, want, and cold, Fierce scorn, they did present, and made

 rich, Though fouler souls ne'er clnng to heIl's

 most lothesome ditch. He saw men forging chains in secret, for Their own souls and their children sand

 upraising Pgans unto their master--and he saw The holders of fat offices, disgracing The land of freedom and the name of law, And scourgipg the low mob, while they

 were praising Tho man that had insuted them, and

 placed His foot upon their neeks, in his wild haste. He saw man that was the peoples choice, Grasping al power--nsurping ny degrees A stretch of power that made the peoples

 voice, Like the slow winds voice wandering thro'

 the trees, A senseless ,valueless and powerless noise-- Until he struck fair Freedom to her knees, And while her eyes were blind ed with her

 blood, He in his majesty above her stood. And so he turned his footsteps to the West; Twas told hini that there vas a people

 there,

 Cradled in innocence on natures breast, Simple in habits as tiy people were And there lie thought that he would like

 to rest For he was told the land as passing fair-- Until he might dream out this weary

 dream, And sink to sleep within oblivion's stream. So taking bills of credit, and such things, All necessary matters in these days, lAnd he had learned that money always

 brings Respect and comfort in thousand ways, And packing up his watches, trunks and

 rings,

 And paying tailor's bills as every gentle-

 nun pays, And doing sundry other like minutia, The which to do in one small day. would
