AN APPEAL FOR IRELAND.

"Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shall find it after many days."—Ecel. xi; 1.

Hark! hear the cry of Erin's sons,

By plague and famine frantic;

The wail of wives and little ones

Comes o'er the broad Atlantic.

O, heed the bitter piercing cry,

That's pealing o'er the ocean;

To us, to us, for aid they fly,

As Israel fled to Goshen.
