DEATHS FINAL CONQUEST

The Clones OF our blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial things,
There IS no amor against fate,
Death claps hIs ICY hands on kings
SceptIe and crown
Must tumble down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked Soy the and spade.
Some men with swords may reap the field,
And plant fresh lalrels where tnc> Ri
But Their strong nerves at last must Yield,
They tame but one another stall
Early Or late
They stoop to fate,
And must give up their murmurng breath,
When they, pale captiyes, creep % death.
The garlands wither on your brow,
Then boast no more your mighty deeds
Upon Deaths purple altar
Sec where the victim bleeds
All heads must come
10 the cold tomb;
Only the actions Of the just
Smell sweet and blossom in the dust
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1826-09-30

entered upon the autumn of your being and whatever may have been the profusion of your spring, or the warm temperament of your summer, there is yet a season of stiffness or solitude which the benefccnce of heaven affords you, in which you may mediate upon the past and future, and rec pose yourselves for the mighty change which you are soon to undergo.
 "It is now you may understand the magnificent language of Heayen-it min- gles its voice with that of Revelation-it summons you in these hours when the leaves fall and the winter is gathering, to that evening study which the mercy of Hea- ven has provided in the book of salvation. And while the shadowy valley opens, which leads to the abode of death, it speaks of that love which can comfort and save, and which can conduct to those green pas- an eternal spring for the children of God.
 Ninety years hence, and not al single man or woman that is now 20 years of age shall be found What melancholy truth But truth it is-a stubborn fact. And what is still more melancholy, many, very ma ny of the lively actors on the stage of life at the'present day, shall make their exit long ere ninety years " have rolled away" Ninety years Could we be sure of ninety years, what are they!

Is it possible that life is of so short duration Will ninety years de- stroy all the golden names over the doors, in the cities and towns of this fourishing country, and place new ones in their stead Will all the blooming Beauties, who now appear more than mortal, fade and disap- pear in ninety years Can it be the fate of the bellies and beaux, who now faunt with finest flowers in tneir heads, in nine ty years to be powdered into dust and ash es? Alas, it can, and most assuredly will be so. &
 Could any one who has died within a few mo nths past, rise and come into our town fifty years hence, what an alteration would he find! Should he inquire for the men and women of note of the present day, single word might answer a thous- and of his questions. Where are MT. ***** &c.?
