TO A GRAY HAIR.

Vow my days are swffter than post; they fee away
y see no good. JOB tx. 25.
Sage monitor! what brings thee here
MY temples why hast thou invaded
knew not that my leaf was scar,
Though sorrow long my bower hath shaded.
I pluck thee from my startled brow,
And ask what may thy errand be p?
Art come to say my sands are low,
Nor Time will shift his glass for me-
That well l know, yet suppliant ask
of him who levels worlds, no favor;
To swing his scythe is all his task,
To stay it. not my vain endeayor.
Why art thou Of his pioneers?
The tyrant needs no aid of thine;
To his broad feet are stepped in tears,
Tha, round his dusky pathway shine
Art thou the same that once in youth,
With my fair forehead's riDglet twin'd thee
And shall I, ofthy plghted truth,
And new-trimmed rose, at once remind thee?
oh fathless whittier hast thou borne
The bloom my boyhood's cheek possessed
Why can that peace no more return,
Thou badst to fill my artess breast!
Com'st now to tell me, life is pain,
And Joy, a mist that sweeps the mountain
And hope, weed that shuns the plain,
To die by sorrows chosen fountain
feel 'tis so-prophetic friend!
The StygaD wave sends shadows thick
And the sad eye would pierce their end
Grows dim-the heart is faint and sick!
60 tell the Fates where thou hast left me
Communng with saddened mind,
On all whereof their frowns have 'reft me-
Tell, how mourn my chdhood's joys,
And all their sharers, in the tomb;
And how. unmoved, hear voice
From Jordan's groves, that calls me home!
If haply, on my auburn brow,
In life's bright morn, they traced thy duty;
Sure thou hast learned to mark now,
The wane Of youth---uf manhood's beauty.
So, having watched me DER the Wild
And promised pleasure day by day,
They bid thee rouse their needless child,
And becken hence, Away! away
All their black breath hath kissed the plain,
Themselves once charged to bloom before me =
Then wherefore should seek in vain
The blghted flowers they'll ne'er restore me =
Take then this tear, ah, herald pale
'Tis my hearts pledge to meet their DOOM
Go, bear il thither-'tis my seal,
And say come-ere long, come!

REBUKE FROM THE DEAD,
fBr SELLEcK OsDons


rhe northern tribes (according to Lieutenant Frank
destroy by way of sacrce their arms and utensils or
death of relations lose ali enterprise and waste muc
their time in idle lamentations; thus mourning all
miseries of extreme want. The spirits of the depa
may be supposed thus to address them:
NIortals! why bewail ye thus
Viewless, wantless things like usl
We no gross provision need,
Nor on matter deign to feed;
We all seasons, wet or dry,
Cold or hot, alike defy,
Sport alike in tropic glare,
Or in hyperb0rean air;
Never resting, but employing
Evry moment in enjoying
Views of worlds beyond your scan
fiction is the soul of man.
Think ye our regenerate ears,
Us'd to the melody of spheres,
Can take delight in idle moans,
Or listen to dlscordant groans'
That we, while briskly revelling
In eddies cool of Saturn's ring,
Or glowing, we hover near
The verge of Soils bright atmosphere,
Or sriding comets, as they fly,
With course elliptic through the sky,
Your Incidence can relish then'
No--action is the soul of man.
When the arrow is repumed,
And the sighted bow resumed,
When the chase flies o'er the plain,
When the rifles blaze again,
When the fame of enterprise,
Rekindes in the hunters eyes,
When the war-flance cheers the sire,
While he strs the council fire );
Then joyfully we hail again,
The character of kindred men,
And dance on meteors of the pole;
For action constitutes the soul.

From this it is taken to acistcrn off, to 6 feet
wide by . deep, having an upright axle to
which are fastened four large stones at right
angles and reaching across the cistern, and
here the pulverised ore is combined with
water and ground by mules which turn this
