      The Moral From Liege.

      THE MORAL FROM LIEGE .

      Is It Too Late For This Self-Worshipping...

      Is it too late for this self-worshipping egotistical land to learn any lesson ? or have ages of delusion blinded it hopelessly and completely ? Has the voice of the charmer sent it off into a drunkard ' s leaden doze , from which there is no waking , even were flames bursting through the rafters , and the cry of " Fire " echoing away upon the night ? Yes , Tomahawk knows the answer before it is spoken . This is the great land of progress and of liberty , over which the hand of Providence for ever rests . This is the land where all is good , perfect , and true , where all is known and the goal reached . Civilization centres here ! The barbarians have no place in us ! Wisdom has guided the great , and their ways have been the ways of honour . Within there is no misery , no crime , no weeping . Christians throng here on the sea-girt isle , and can look down in pitying charity on the pagans afar off . Great good England is respectable , pious , and orderly in her home . And she is more than this , she is profoundly sympathizing and loving to her neighbours . How bravely and unselfishly has she not sacrificed all a thousand times when brute force has swept down upon defenceless weakness at her gates ! What has she cared for the cost ? Her love has been given to the right , and her mighty arm has ever been raised in the one good cause wherever its battle was being fought . Thus it has come that Europe bows down to her , and the wondering world admires ! But let Tomahawk pause , for he is much afraid that not a word of all this is true . He only sees that their Belgian brothers have welcomed his own Volunteers , and he marvels at it . He marvels at it , and he turns to Britannia and asks her , what single thing she has done for half a century to merit Continental sympathy—to win international esteem ? He asks her , if she did not even repay the hospitality of her friends with mean neglect ? He asks her , if she can witness the ovation accorded to her sons without shame and remorse ? Yes , for she deserves nothing but the self-same cold shoulder she has given to every neighbour that she ever kiiew . May she wake up from her dream , and re-read the past aright ! account If she , but do this , the Liege Gala may yet turn its moral to
