ve0tIon Of Mssaehuseiis. We have fs'ely
me, with any thing more besuliful: aud 'be
eulogy Is as jest as the language Is eh,sls end
elegant.
"ln our country, tho highest msn is not a.
bove the people; the bumbleN is Dot below
the people. II the rich may be ssid to have
sddiiionai protection. they have not sddiDonsi
power. Nor does wealth here form perms-
oept dis'ipct,on Of families. Those Who sfs
wealthy ,o.dsy, pass to Tho tomb, and their
children divide their estates. Properly thus
is divivsd quite as fss, as it sccumulstes No
ismiiy can, without it, own exsrtions, stand
erect for long lime, under cur statute OF de-
scent end distributions, aud only true and le.
climate law. IL silently and quietly dlssolyes
tho mass heapsd up by the toll and diligence
Of long life Of enterprise snd industry. Pro-
perry 10 continually changing like wsvcs OF The
sea---opce wave rises sbd IS soon swallowed
op IN the vast abyss, and is seen no more. A.
mother arises, and having reached i's destined
limits, falls gently away, end is succeeded by
yet smother, which, in It, turn, breaks and
dies gently on the shore. The richest msn

the highest Office in our government; and tho
poor man, while he rocks his infant on his

il he Possesses talents and virtue, there is no

And when down to ocean sinking,

Think how long the night viii be
To the eyes that weep for thee.
When thy lonely nigbt-watcb keeping,

As the needle points the quarter

May Thy vigils ever find thee
Mindful of the friends behind thees
May Thy bosom's magnet be

When with slow and equs, motion
swe.is the bosom Of the ocean.
And thy bark is smoothly riding,
While The moon is gently gliding
Down the SKY in tranquil spieDdor,
And the countless stars attend her,
Let the brightest visions be
Country. horne and friends, to thee
When the tempest hover's DER thee,
Danger, wreck aud death before thee
And the sword VI FIRE is cleaning,
Wild the wind---the torrent stresming-
Then pious supplisnt bending,
Let Thy thoughts, to heaven ascending,
Reach the Mercy Seat TO he

Soon may He Who holds the thunder

Lift The veil that dsrkens heaven,

May that Being ever.be

Many billow breaking round her -
while tire heavens aud ocean bound her.
May the blast be tempered 10 thee

May the friends who wait thee see
