He started from his sleep-The chain
Clanked on his stirring limb,
The fatal truth came back again,
Like an echoed curse to him.
Chained and alone-his proud heart rose,
Like tided river then,
And his curse went forth, as the Samuel eoe
To the doomed abodes Of men.
Ye've bound your gives upon the hand,
And fettered down the form,
And trampled on the freeman's land,
With his fathers blood yet warm
Ye've bound me where the sun is not,
Where the starlight never falls,
But ye humble not the kingly thought
That mocks your guarded walls
The soul--the godlike soul is free,
Its glory is not dim,
1t gathers sterner energy
From every tortured limb
Dream We that feelings nursed as mine
Are touched by human i'll
The form beneath its chains may pine,
The soul is mighty still!
And heavier ye may bind the chain
Mysprit shall not quail,
Though madness revel on my brain
The heart shall never fail.
Ye cannot crush it-for the deep,
And burning sense of wrong,
Through every weary hour, shall keep
Its thirst of vengeance strong
That sleepless vengeance! it will come
whirlwind upon earth.
The dungeon-stone-the very tomb
Shall send ifs summons forth.
The injured spirit sleepeth not,
1t may not be confined
The tyrant's hand hath never wrought
A fetter for the mind!

Drops from the ocean of eternity,
Rays from the centre of unfailing light;
Things that the human eye can never see,
Are sprits,-yet they dwell near humaA sight;
But as the shattered magnets fragments still,
Though far apart, will to each other turn,
So, in the breast imprisoned, spirits will
To meet their fellow spirits valnly burn;-
And yet not vanly. If the drop shall pass,
Through streams of human sorrow undefled,
If the eternal ray that heavenly was,
To no false earthly fire be reoonciled;
The drop shall mingle with its native main,
The ray shall meet its kindred rays againi

II has been urged an objection to the report OF

something into the Constitution Ii certainly is

equally lie against the proposed amendment Both
