Monarch

,—a word which in a few years is likely to be obsolete. It signifies a man, who is begotten by another man, to rule over millions of his fellow-creatures; to trample upon their necks, and to build his own aggrandisement on the misery and degradation of his subjects. They are always the most unhappy and miserable men of the community; and at the same time the weakest, and the most wicked. The office is growing into disrepute, and mankind are daily seeing the inconvenience and folly of keeping up an humbig, which is at once ridiculous and perisios, oppressive and contemptible. We have allowed them for a considerable time “to monarchise, be feared, and kill with looks;” but their hour is expired, and the delusion is over. In a short period of time, the nurse, or the parent, will use the term as a bug-bear for their children “Hush, you naughty child, the monarch is coming!” Sic transit gloria mundi!!!
