THE ISLAND ADRIFT.

The sky of politics was clear, No cloud portended danger near, And glorious sun-shine lent its rays T’o brighten Whig and Tory’s face : The rival parties might be seen {n confab mind with mind, With faces beaming as serene, Aa if were buried all their spleen And animes unkind : Where W*t*n’s deor of Drug-store stands

| Are plenty stones—what danger then ?—

. the Sterling | and now were many wordy blows 1 Hurl’d headlong at opposing foes bly | Who, firm and with unbroken brain,

Indignant such a noise to hear, Did upright stand—and every ear

Was bent in listening mood,—

And thus quoth he—* Brave Island boys, |

Let nothing take you by surprise, The storin may do us good: The roaring wind doth counsel lead, ' That we should on ourselves depend, | And serve our tackling stout,

And not ery out like frighten’d men

| Let’s tie a boulder to our chain, | And though the storm as loud again Should roar,—we’'ll ride it out.

Now fury and confusion reign’d,

drown’d”

Did send them thun’dring back again, Lost were all thoughts of shipwreck now In noise of this stupendous row.

And ever and anon, In hope of gain, some chang’d their coats, | And others offer’d bribes for votes, Sv hardly were they run.

W herewith the atmosphere was rife, And battle dubious hung,

Could no one “ born of woman” say

Where D*e and Long*th were that day ?

Heroes of many a bloodless fray—

| But while went on this furious strife,

And famous men among The Tory tribe—and J***y Y**, What or wherever did he go ?— Not io the field to strike one blow, One Snatcher’s eye to bung! But all the deeds of daring done ‘The muse could never think upon, How to the charge brave Warburton Led on the western van: And D—s, J—e McD—!d tried T'he mettle of the Eastern side ; H**z*d with L**g***th J**n allied Their gallant spirits well applied, And how te break the D ’s pride Lord charg’d him to Tryon. But oh! Um fairly out of wind Though much to say is left behind Or better left alone ; So let them charge or fight or fly, Or in the contest live or die,

You might observe them shaking hands Like worthy brothers all;

And no whit kinder could they be

If physic’d into charity

By drugs had there—or else at the Apothecaries’ Hall.

But oft the sky’s serenest form

Is but the prelude to a storm— And so in Chrarlottetown—

While all seem’d peaceable and well

Sir Donald C*p*il broke the spell

‘hat bound the wind—why ?—none could

tell,

Nor keenest scent beforehand smell

The storm, in which the Assembly fell In fearful ruin down.

Philosophers may strive in vain

The freaks of Nature to explain,

But all the learned tribe so wise

Can never solve her mysteries, Or read her riddles plain;

High soaring through the solar way

They’re very apt to get astray, Perhaps to turn their brain;

So when the storm did fury gain—

From cloudless sky a hurricane —

The moving cause was far from plain—

And C*n*y shouted mighi and main, And rais’d to mouth his hand ;

And high was heard above the blast

| | | | | | | |

It shall not cause the muse to sigh ; ‘The glory’s all their own.”

Unless these principles are adhered to, and followed out /upon every occasion, it would be useless for this or any other coun-
