Like boat on the wave
When storms in the sky,
Like rose DER grave
When the winter is nigh,
Through the blue heavens bright
Like the fabrics of dreams
mid the slumbers OF night:
Like the lamp that is lit
In the mist DER the moor,
Or the bubbles that fit
BY the rude rocky shore,
Is the vision of life, in this temPest~tost cline,
A shadow fast fleeting-a moment Of time.
AS the bark, as the star,
Disappears and is gone,
And their destiny far
Is mysterious unknown;
AS the rose fades away
From our hopes and our tears,
And our bright dreams decay
In the rude wreck of years:
AS the meteor lamp flies
To its deep water cave,
And the wind bubble dies
On the first dashing wave;
So sinks to his doom, but span from his birth,
The lord of creatisn--he monarch of earth.
But the sun bursting through
When the tempest has sped;
And the rose springing new
When the winter has fed;
The star when tits nearest

And that vision the dearest

Judge of the court to whom one OF his decisions
had been carried up, upon appeal. The Judge per-

to know what could have induced such decision.
