WAB RETURNED WITIIOUT orrosmoN fob thb district op waiicato EA.SC A utar *ai descried o'er Kastorn Waikato,k ato, Disponsing its rays with political sway ; It aroao from that bounding morass in Piako, Uadimuod by its fetid und misty display . 'Tvriß examined by Leslio tho looal astrologor, And pr.mouuced to bo of tlio first magnitude ; Diaplajinj; pho^plioroienco of the biologer. Shedding ita liitluonco o'er that latitude. Ills courau wa» from North, in a Southern direction, Gaining groat brilliancy speeding along ; Meteoric ho danced for a Cambridge inspection, Changing hn colour* for that curious thi'oag. Now rising, now falling, ho swelled in dimoniions And gloriously lit human nature around i With tho loudnuss of thunder he burst in dissontions. WJiilc casting doctoral spray on the ground. Each particle oontaining rnai^notic affection, No human wilt cjultl ono moment withstand ; Forcibly drawing oron thoso of di«Qection, MysLoriouslj altoring thoir opposite stand. Even Wilson that sensitive nativo conductor, And Runcimin with his stutntics assert, They could never conijuer that powerful inductor, Nor from his adhesiveness daro to desert. Kcguinitig his fragments in aplondor and radiuncc, He soars into space from their mystified gat* ; Whoro he may linger in sparkling decadenoe, And flickering die like the candles soft blaze. Q. B.
