Vas lady, thou wilt die. That lip Of snow
And that pale brow foretell thy early lot
The wing OF death 10 Ger thee-thou wilt 60
Where broken hearts and blighted flowers are
not:
Thou ar, to beautiful to linger where
The rainbow brightens but TO melt away.
And the sweet sounds that wander on the air
But swell the dirge Of sorrow and decay.
Yes thou wilt die. Thy spirit soon will leave
This dull cold exile for its place on high,
And like bright cloud on silent eye,
Melt in the deeper glories of tho sky;
Thy homo will be where bluer skies are glassed
In softer streams mid springs undying bowers
And where the winds Of autumn never passed.
Nor ssrpents writbed round passions sweetest
flowers.
Az, thou wilt die;- and shall linger here,
When all the blossoms Of the heart are fed,
To muse on thse and mourn. with bitter tear,
The cold, the lost, the beautiful, the dead;
But, as life's stars in loneliness depart,
Thy memory still, amid the deepening gloom
Will shine upon the ruins ofmy heart
Like lone 6re fly on the midnight tomb.

From Croker. edition Of Boswell. johnson


"Those who have loved longest love
best. A sudden blast Of kindness may
by single blast Of GOODNESS, be extin-
puished; but the fondness which length
of time has connected with many cir
cumstances and occasions, though i,
may for time he depressed by disgust
or resentment with or without cause,
is hourly revived by accidental recollec-
ton. To those that have lived long to-
gether, every thing heard and every
thing seen recalls some pleasure COM
municated or some benefit conferred, some
petty quarrel or some slight endearment.
Esteem Of great powers, or amiable quail
tiles newly discovered, may embroider a
day or week, but friendship of twenty
years is interviewer with the texture of
life. A friend may be often found and
lost but an old friend never can be found,
and nature has provided ;hat he cannot
easily be lost"
"Sir, argument is argument. You
cannot help paying regard to arguments,
If they are good. There is beautiful
image in Boyle on the subject. Testi-
mony is like an arrow shot from long
bow; the force of it depends on the
strength Of the hand that draws it. Ar
gumen, is like an arrow from-a cross bow,
which has equal force though shot by a
child"

THE BROKEN LANCE.

A broken spear--it lay
Upon the battle ground,
rch.,. s,outsr things that day had sii'd,
For hearts. the hearts o. men, had quaid'
And ne who bore il TO the fray,
His dsatb.bsd found
upon it's burnish'd blade
The thick blood had congeara',
Those clots Of gore, how well they TOLD
That il had graced no cowards hold,
And hat the hand which grssPd II plsyd
No joust in field.
That stiff. unplisnt hand
II, shivsr'd halt still oound,
Az IL in death would deal biow;,
Wbils the red current, faint and slow,
Oozed coldiy out upon the sand.
From many wound,
q. who can tell what thought
purn'd In that soldiers breast,
When leaving all he lovd, no swore,
O, Heaven that hears, that never more
Would he return, till he had wrought
His country's rest.
aGo. when the strife is done,
And ask about the plain,
Ifviciory crown the right my voice
With thine may yet again rejoice
Blu, seek for me, the field unwon,
Among the slain"
Such was the short adeu
To home and all it's bliss,
The rigid Polish martyr gave,
wben furnishd with his lance and glave,
He stopped, and from his loves lips drew
Their last, last kiss.
The strength Of Warsaw fell,
The foe broke down its gate,
And on the altar she had built
The blood Of Liberty was split
Herald there needed none, to tell
That wife her fate.
Unsex'd, without a tear
His poor, cold corse to lave.
She wander'd forth at deep OF night
With none to witness, the sad rite,
And gave her soldier and his spear
A single grave!
