If this sugges- tien be adopted we shall not see men rush- ing into Court unless to recover something

gestion was, however, adopted. James

Curtis, Es\., spoke against a high property qualification. The suggestions relating te qualification and taxation were carried.

The late Dr. O'Leary, M. P., was the smallest man in‘ the House of Communs, but had the largest voice. On the occasion on which he made his maiden speech, the preceeding speaker had resumed his seat, there was the usual rush of members to their feet to catch the Speaker’s eye, and in several parts of the house the prefatory ‘Mr, Speaker’ was heard. But a loud, clear voicv rang out far above the rest, and every one looked round te see whence it came. fruitless, but a cry of ‘new member” from the irish benches, and ‘‘ Dr. O'Leary ” from the Speaker, directed attention to a spot below the gangway on the Opposition

The son of Priam thunders at our walls ;

Not he alone, his spirit fires his train ;

en thousand Hectors make resistance vain !

| His force does Ajax Telamon oppose ;

The mighty Ajax is o¢rwhelmed with foes ;

Swift rising heaps beneath his spear lie gored,

An hundred lives attend his conquering swerd ;

His{well. known Bow the dauntless Teucer lies,

With fatal aim each whizzing arrow flics :

The gallant brothers tind the struggle vain,

And foiled and baffled, slowly near the Main.

Leontes brave, and Polypeetes strong,

Scarce at the Gate can stem the Trojan throng ;

Tho’ void of hope, with manly rage they glow,

They leave the gate, they rush upon the Foe ;

Full well, as yet, their weapons clear the place ;

And raise the honor of the Lapith race.

Now Asius and Polydamas appear ;

Storm in the van and thunder in the rear;

To these all-conquering Hector joins his force,

And full upon.our Gate impels his course ;

Phe Lapith Brothers view th’ advancing host;

Wounded and spent, they yield th’ important OSE 5

Look. look an this! Compassionate our state !

Bring speedy help, or help will be too late !

With what a crashtmy tortured ears are riven,

Loud as the whirling thunderbolt of Heaven !

Seek we the canse;: the Gate is broken through,

And Hector, rushing in, appears in view !

What Power now shall snatch us from the grave?

What human arm shall help, what hand shall

Behold the King of Wounded and weak, drag on, Propped on their swords, through clouds of

hissing spears ; And high inair his voice the monarch rears, ‘‘My friends, be men! Be what ye were of

With steady aim the Gnoasian javelin threw,

And Asius in his lofty chariot slew ;

In vain Atrides waves the spartan aword !

Hector appears, fire flashing from his eye;
