[FOR THE EXAMINER. ] The Brooch of Lorne.

Relic of the mighty dead,

Of ages that are gone,

When Scotland shook, beneath the tread, Of marshalled hosts by Kdward led,

To grasp the Scottish throne !

Old Scotia in her darkest hour,

Did foes and traitors spurn,

Her sons still battled for the right,

Led by the Chieftan Wallace wight, And Bruce, of Bannockburn,

Heirloom of a nation’s hope,

And of a nation’s fears,

Witness of its greatest joy,

And of its bitterest tears,

‘Say : did you shield her hero’s breast On that eventful morn,

Dunolly’s vengeful clansman grasped Thee, Brooch of Lorne,

Down the silent stream of time

The centuries have pgssed,

And each succeeding cycle seems Brighter than the last.

No more on Seotia’s purple hills,

Or in the silent glen,

Is heard the murderous battle shout Or tramp of armed men ;

Peace and plenty o’er her plains

On every breeze is borne;

Onee more by Royal fingers pressed, Gleams on Victoria’s Queenly breast, The Brooch of Lorne.

UNITED STATES. New York, Noy. 19.
