Touching enough, Mr. Cox, Dltbongh rather strained in the concluding fairey. He feels more eloquent after a while, :iud aska : Has our lore all died out? Have itsaliars groyrh cold 'I Has the curse come at last which rite -fathers fore told? Theo nature must loach us tho strength of the chain That her petulcnt children would sever in twain. And so the poetical Cox proceeds to assert his belief that the two contestants in this struggle cannot fight themselves asunder.. Sanguine aud sanguinary Cox ! Hear bim : They any fight till the buisarde are gorged with theb: spoil -Till too harvest grows black as i: roots in. thc soil Till the wolves and the catamouuts droop from their cares. And the .?hark tracks the pirate, the lord of thc waves. In vain is tho strife ! When its fury is past, Their fortunos must flow iu one channel at last ; Mr. Cox next versifies Mr. VALLANMG HAM'S river and stream theory : Our Uuion is river, lake, ocean and sky, Run breaks nut the medal when Uodcuts thc die-! Though darkened with sulphur, though cloren with ste?l, Thc blue arch will brighten, thc water? will heal. Clever Cox! That second line was a sturdy I thought of youri. But wo like the but stanza better than all. Although he denies that CAHO LINK r<iii go, by any possibility whatever, he yet bids her " Gu" as though it were an casv experi ment. She is expected to como back however like a very prodigal; after .1 short absence from home : Gt?, then, our rash eiste- ! afar sod aloof. Man wild in the sunshine .tr. ay from our roof : Rut when your heart aches, and your feet have grown sore, Remember the pathway that leads to our door ! (Applause.) . O0!K Very good, Mr. Cox.
