She slumber'd in ths rOcking-chair she'd occu-

And in her lap. half open there, the last new

Upon the hearth the dying brands their lat
fh,est radiance she'd 49,
A f,aring candle near her stands, with crown
Abost its head.
Her hair which long uusempt had bean, was
hanging loosely round,
Ths curls BY many Shining pn' in closet
durance bound
Her gown--it had been white | ween--but
white il was noS them t .asft
Her rSfies too had once been clean, and
might be SO agaiu.
One slip-shod foot the fender prest, the, othor
sooth the nopr, H
And folded Ger her heavins breast, a faded
shawl she wore .aa.
The flickeriDg lights fading fast--the parlou'
colder grows
. The midnight hour has long been psst--th
cock foS morning crows.
She cares not she, for mortal things, for ii
her busy brain
The historys imaginings are acted DER again
But while in this delicious nap, her wilin
sense is bound,
The book, escaping from her lap, falls 'um
berins 70 the ground.
She wakes butts, alas /! to see the candle
latest beam.
Nor in the blackend Goals can she revive or
friendly CLEAN;
Then cropping through the passpse far, 81
steals with noiseless tread, s'r
And leaving every door sjar, creeps shiveri'
into bed.

HONOUR

Honour thou well-przsd nothing thee

Men worship now as heretofore
Daughter Of vanity-Fools wish, sound
Whose magic influence reigns around;
What is tho merit we adore
In young creations golden times
Thou vert the Harbinger ofcrimes;
BY thee the price of blood was taught
BY thee the csverns Of the earth
Were ope ned to aid distractions birth,
And the swords glitteriag blades were
wrought.
From thee man caught ambitions thirst,
TIE deadly madness to be first
For empire bartering his rcpose,
With fears o'erburthen'd, and the care
Ofmillious, frienlless life to wear
Can sceptres weigh such ills as these :
Yet great souls think thee most divine.
All knowledgeand all art is thine;
Virtue, unpropped by thee. decay';
The exalted philosophio mind
Explores the starry spheres to find
The only-not their. .wondrous ways.
Thou leadest armed hosts along,
Thro' thickcst dangers fiery thropg
In joy they march TO meet the grace.
At thy command men east away
Tha which, If rescued from thy, sway,
They'd sacrifice their all to save.
How num'rous they whose death-woun
In vain, to gather 'glorys need:
For lame is partial-rare the lot
o. HIM whose noobly deeds attain
Eternal memory-mspy men -
Like heroes die, snd-are forgot.
What add'st thou 10 the sweets Of life,
Thou posthumous ssward Of STRIFE &! lk
Content with thee is seldom sesn

All splendor, pomp and noise outside,
All gloom and emptines, within.
