| Friedlander did the utmost poind From County Council gain, And sold the pipes, too rashly bought. Our credit to sustain. And Donald now that chair can fill, With ease and honor too— Without a puif of any sort, From either Zouch or you. “ You said he was not fit to sit In judgment on your cause, But next day had to own that he Was ruled by neighbors’ laws “ And now at higher place you aim, ■ And seek our laws to make ; Or having failed in ail things small, Great deeds you’d undertake. “What Sewel and Torrens failed to do, You would at once achieve, And from those hateful lawyer’s fees This colony relieve. “ To Robinson you’d sell our hills, To Rhodes you’d sell the stones, McLean can buy the hard broom clumps, .And Grigg the boggy homes. “ But good land, we ourselves will keep, Free Britons need not pay ; We’ vo votes ! and won’t we let them know Upon the polling day ! ** Such was your talk about our lands Before you Saunders heard, But now you’ve taken up his plans, And preach them word for word. “ Now Sealy’a pamphlet lies untouched, No half-crown tax you’d take ; And that ‘ Good Roads Construction Bill,’ You’d quite begin to hate. “ You’ve all such crotchets given up, And took up Saunders’ views On every question that he spoke. Except the borrowed screws. “ A tax you now would put on land That owners leave unsown, And all such local taxes spend, Whore best our wants are known. “ Of course you don’t confess the source From which our new plans hail, j But take them like the telegrams Oft copied in the Mail. “ On education you can go The whole Hogg with him too ; I If Protestants will give you votes The Catholics must do. ** Though ‘ Godless ’ schools you would maintain. Though priests you’d drive away, I The Bible too you’d introduce, No matter what they say. “ Free Trade you say you can’t condemn, But like Protection too ; Both parties in that duel fierce Will find a friend in you. •** Like Grey with the Protection men, No votes you mean to lose, But raise the price of coats and boots, Which farmers never use. “ The ‘ Biglow Papers ’ you have read On matters of debate : You’re ‘ not a Tory or a Whig, I But just a candidate.’ “ When Grey was dealing out the ‘ sops ’ That make your papers pay, I .You said he was the best of men, Whom good men would obey. I “But when you think he can no more I Such benefits bestow, You say that such a man as that Will never do 1 for Joe.’ “ When Wason stood up for the seat You long had had in view, You said that he a coward was, Who shrunk from fight with you. “ But now ha has left the field, And you get blow for blow, You say he was ‘ a gentleman ’ , Who never served you so. if* Remember what you said of him t. On that December night, When Jameson, Cox, and all your foes, ; iWera classed with your friend Wright. * Your color then was deadly white, * Your lips were parched and dry, At friends and foes you railed alike, ; And hate flashed from your eye. “ You thought that night you’d done with us, Nor would our votes require ■To fight the battle o’er again ' With one who scorns your ire. “I’ve served you well, I’ve served you long, I’ve not been over nice ; Beyond the bounds, my conscience sat I’ve trespassed once or twice. * But I can now no further go, I give you up at last, The work you want I gladly leave To your friend Prendergast. ” Joe soon replied, “ 1 do admire Of candid friends but one, And you are he, my sainted Hill, Therefore, it shall be done.” Now let us sing, “ Long live the King,” And Gilpin long live he ; And when he hears the poll declared May I be there to sse.

Holloway's Pills.—Weary of Life.— Derangement of the liver is one of the mos dangerous of diseases, and the most prolific source of those melancholy forebodings which arc worse than death itself. A few doses ot these noted Pills act magically in dispelling low spirits, and repelling the covert attacks made on the nerves by excessive heat, impure atmos* pheres, over-indulgence, or exhausting excite ment. The most shattered constitution may derive benefit from Holloway’s Pills, which will regiilate disordered action, brace the nerves, increase the energy of the intellectual faculties, and revive the failing memory. By attentively studying the instructions for taking these Pills, and explicitly putting them in practice, the most desponding will soon feel confident of a 1 perfect recovery.—[Advt.
