" ANATHEMA MAEANATHA."5

" Donee Templa refeoeris.''

Pusey loquitur.

Temple for a Bishop take,
Till the Temples you remake !
" Temple," quotha ! Den, say I,—
Heresy and schism-shop, stye
Tor breeding Neologian pipes !
Stage for rationalism's rigs!
Beacon, to mis-pilot men so
That they wreck upon Colenso !
Candlestick upon a hill,
Light, for moths, that shines to kill-
Wretch, who holds discourse of reason
With theology no treason !
Sparing of the Church's terrors.
Treating heresies as errors
To be weighed, discussed, and handled,
Not at once bell'd book'd and candled!
Shall this heretic, plague-smitten,
Claim to stand on what he's written,
And not smart for all we choose
To fiod in Essays and Reviews ?
The beliefs on him we father
Be Anathema Maranatha !
Whether he. own, or disclaim 'em,
Whether toe can, or can't, name 'em!
All 'twixt those vile boards that's printed,
All that's spoke out, all that's hinted,
All we say the book avers,
All our logic thence infers,
All Leigk should have found but wouldn't,
All we tried to prove but couldn't,
Let us on this Heathen vile,
On this pagan Temple, pile !
Strong as Samson and as blind,
Let us all our might of mind
Set to shaking, till it drops,
Each and all this Temple's props,
Though with its State pillars' crash
Church of England go to smash !
I am High, and you are Low,
But he is our common foe :
He's not High, nor Low, but Broad ;
Sings not matin, none, nor laud,
Pins no trust, and founds no hope
On alb, dalmatic and cope,
Eaith and works holds kin collateral,
Owns no priesthood supernatural;
Little in his works you '11 find
On Church-power to loose and bind ;
Apostolical succession,
He refines to an expression ;
Hash lay tendencies he feeds,
Dogmas to postpone to deeds,
While his general tone invites

The Prijsce or Wales has again been suffering from an attack of Provincial
Loyalty. Before, when it was our painful duty to make the public acquainted
with a similar seizure, it was on the occasion of His Royal Highness's visit to Hull
in company with the Princess, when between them they gallantly underwent the
fatigue of receiving, we think, five Addresses in hot weather. But Hull is outdone
by Chester—a city is before a mere borough; a new Town Hall is a greater
thing than a new Dock ;—so, though the Prince went alone to Chester, he was not
let off under six Addresses levelled at him. 1. By the Lord Lieutenant and a

number of the Magistrates of the county. 2. By the Freemasons of the City. r^Q j. cerem0I1ial rites

3 By the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses. 4. By the Bishop Dean, and j Far below Eaith> Hop6i and Charity-

Chapter. 5 By the Roman Catholic Clergy, and, 6. By the Nonconformist Deadliest note of secularity!

Ministers. (What were the Friendly Societies wearing their sashes about, not
to add another to the pile ? But above all, how is the absence to be explained of
the manufacturers of the staple of the county, the well known and highly respected
Cheshire Cheese?)

The wording of the narrative of the "Earl of Chester's" visit, leads us to hope
that all these outbursts of loyalty were not read as well as presented, and in two
instances at least, it is consolatory to find that the Prince merely " bowed his
acknowledgments."

Had the Princess oe Wales been with her husband at Chester, it is impossible
to say what number the Addresses might not have reached; for of course the
Danish residents, the married ladies, the milliners and dressmakers, and other
influential bodies, would have expressed their attachment, devotion and respect,
through the medium of illuminated vellum.

Like the allowance of bridesmaids at a wedding, the supply of Addresses on
the occasion of a Royal visit, seems gradually to increase, and it may be that a few
years hence the Prince of Wales will look back with a sigh of regret to that
happy time when he escaped with only six!

A Quotation in Season.

In a word, you may take oath of us,
He's at daggers drawn with both of us,
—As we both are with each other —
But to crush him I'm your brother,
And for the same righteous end,
You are mine, so howls let's blend :—
" Monstrum informe, detestandum,
Templum vile et nefandum,
Templum h&reticum et infaustum,
Templum, non sumend' per hauslum,
Templum dime, Templum dejice,
Templum in tenebras furas ejice,
Templum everte, ab apice ad imum—
Ecce lapidem jaculor primum,
Charitis, udjumento, et Musa ;
Frate) in tide, et Presbyter, Pusey ! "

Dramatic Intelligence.

At this time of the year when Pigsbie, who is fond both of pork and poetry, During the dull season, a certain Manager has issued
sees the strings of fresh sausages hanging up in the shops, he annually tells , such a number of his autographs, in order to ensure the
his friends that they remind him of what Milton says " of linked sweetness long '. proper filling of his house, that he has in playtumess con-
drawn out." I ferred on it the nickname of the Ordertorium.
