SONG.
Tune" Bright Chanticlcr'
Hail to the day, on which we meet
With social, friendly cheers,
Abandoning cares, with pleasure to
One Of an hundred years. i
Although we're told by those veil ID
In Patriarchal lore
That men once liv'd, and parts fulfil
Nine hundred years or more;
But now, in these degenerate DAYS,
"Tis wonderful to hear
OF one, whom Heaven has deigneir|
Up to his hundredth year.
To Hercules, whose strength did n
And virtue too, more dear,
The Gods ne'er gave the mighter n
To reach his hundredth year
When Xerxes view'd with lofty pda|
His legions he with tears,
Deplored sad fate's unconquer'd std
Before an hundred years.
Could Cesar cen have conquerds
And sway'd without compeers;
One thing alone, his cup could fill;
10 live an hundred years.
What earthly power, nor royal will
Could e'er give kings or peers;
Heaven g granted HoLyoKE to full
To see an hundred years.
The " even tenor of his way"
He IS kept through joys and tears
And by example shown, we may
Live to an hundred years.
Let each one echo then the song,
That peace may with him dwell
And if we cannot live so long,
Resolve to live as well.
Our ag'd Apollo hail again,
With hallow'd welcome here;
And, if God wills, may he attain
His full 4aco Hundredth year
The Holy-Oak of the American Mstsn

In all divisions let it be our effort to promoa
By the first intention.
