THE SLANDERisR's TOMB.
BY N. H. WRIGHT.

By N. H. WRIGHT.
Deep in Ike drea.y forest gloom,
Where not fewer is seen to bloom,
Aud where poison'il streamlet laves
The bank where deadly night shade
waves,
Is seen the slanderer's lonely tomb.
The boding owlet, hov'ring round,
Sends forth her screech of fearful sound
The black inged raven fingers there
And blasted deas poliute the air.
And tall upon the unhallowed mound.
For him, who sleeps in that lene bed,
No tear of fond regret is shed,
No Kindred dear his fate bemoan,
Or raise the consecrated stone,
With pious hands, above his head.
Alike to Heaven and man foe,
They only joy on earth he knew,
Was to destroy his neighbours fame,
To blight the fairest, brightest name,
And ain at Virtues breast blow.
On his dark brow scowl'd Envy dire,
His eye-talls fiash'd baleful FIRE,
Whilst Malice. and enyenom'd Hate,
Dweit in his heart IN sullen state,
And swell'd it with abolish ire.
Indignant, saw the Almighty power
The wretch fell woes around him shower,
The bolt of Heaven in thunder sped,
And struck the prowling monster dead,
That lie should curse the world no more.
And now. in dreary forest gloom,
Where not n flower is seen to bloom.
And where p ison'd stream]et laves
The bank where deadly night-shade
waves,
Is seer the hateful! Slonderer's tomb.
