The American mind has latoly grown familiar with the idea of co-operation between England and the United States. Every day brings fresh evidence of tha sympathy felt for England in this country. Prom ' Our Own Correspondents. i. What is the Voice I hear On the wind of the Western Sea P Sentinel ! Listen from out Cape Cleat, And say what the voice may be. * "Tis a proud free People calling loud to si People proud and free. n. c And it says to them, *' Kinsmen, hail I We severed have been too long : Now let us have done with a worn-out tale, The tale of an ancient wrong, And our friendship last long as Love doth last,. I and be stronger than Death is strong." ' in. Answer them, Sons of the self-same raoe, And blood of the self -same clan, Let us speak with each other, face to face, And answer, as man to man, And loyally love and trust eaoh other, aSj none but free men can. IV. Now, fling thorn out to the breeze, Shamrock, Thistle, and Rose ! And the Star-Spangled Banner unfurl witb' these, \ A message to friends and foes, t I Wherever the sails of Peaoe are seen, anil wherever the War- wind blowa. V. A message to bond and thrall to wake, For, wherever we come, we twain, ; The throne of the Tyrant shall rook and. quake, And his menace be void and vain ; For you are lords of a stroner young land, and we are lords of the main. VI. Yes, this is the Voice on the bluff March gale, '. ' Wo severed have been too long : But now we have done with a worn-out tale, The tale of an ancient wrong. And our friendship lastlong as Love doth last, and be stronger than Death is strong.' —Alfred Austin, in The Times.
