"ENGLAND'S DEAD."
The warlike of the Isles, The men of field ancl wave! Aro not the rocks their funeral piles, The seas and shore their grave ? Go stranger; track the deep, Free, free, the white sail spread! Wave may not foam nor wild wind sweep, Where rest not England's dead. •—Mrs. Hemans. [These beautiful lines are inscribed on a memorial tablet in tho old church at Russsll,' commemorating the valour of men of H.M.S. Hazard who were killed during Hone Heke's rebellion of 1845.]
