Sbtlttt $oetrjn TO SIR ROBERT PEEL ON HIS RESIGNATION. BY JOHN EDMUND RBADE. Grent statesman ! gieatest in thy fall— for now The crew that hated thee because they felt Thou weit the first, the herd who erowhile knelt, Shall in their hehnless baik thy loss avow. AVheie now the venal shouts, the lalsc acclaim Of parasites, of things without a name? Scum of the ocean, huiled away before The Inaccessible so calm wert thou • What is thy gueulon 1 wo canno.t repay : We oft'ei but the homage of a day. Thou clnims't from us and from posterity, Undjing lauiels jet high Poetry Tells vh.it thc> are,— the poor nun's blessing thine ! Thou like; a light befoic his path dost shine, Sole vntchei o\er his humanities; Thou laids't thy hand on Aristociacy, Staying its grasp j beside the labourei 's door Thy voice of law o'er tyranny doth rise— •' Dread shall be water'd by his tears no more !"

Like Master mkj: Man. — Colonel Dickson, when lie commanded ihe 42nd regt, was one day superintending the punishment of an old soldier, who had been sentenced to receive corporal punishment in consequence of being, as he said, a wee/uu. The man complained much under the infliction, and bfgged frequently to be taken down ; but the Colonel showed no disposition to remit any part of the sentence- "Oh, Colonel," exclaimed the culprit, making another appeal to his commander's humanity, "take me down, Colone l; for, ye ken, I'm just a puir attid druclccn body liku yoursel." The justice of this remark was universally admitted, and military discipline could hardly restrain ihe risable faculties of officers and men.— -Marshall on the condition of soldiers.
