DaFk dealing power, around thy way
6i ne wrecks Of human grandeur lay;
0olYlons waters cold and black,
non onward in thy gloomy track,
a, ana d1rkly hide from mortal ken,
ne traces where thy curse hath been.
4, rhe proudest things that earth hath known,
~, me gorgeous spendor of throne,
m iae crest and kingly diadem--
nv peerless arm hath scattered them;
me power that shook the world with dread,
Lies crushed beneath thy mighty tread,
successive years around thee flow,
pes icave no traces on thy brow,
revealing and destroying all,
fas hrmly now thy footsteps fall,
AZ when at first thy course was given,
Ala Thy dread limits marked by heaven.
Mysterious power! still deep and strong,
m, my ude Of years shall roll along,
rh nc sun shall leave his home on high
pi ne moon and stars Of heaven shall die;
nv lnou shalt be the last to fall,
nc cohqueror and end Of ALL

TINE THREE LITTLE v s.
sought at twilight's pensive hour
The path which mourners tread,
Where many n marble stone reveals
The city of the dead =
The CITY of the dcad-where all
From leverlsh toll repose,
While round their beds, the simple flower
In sweet profusion blows.
And there | marked pleasant spot,
Enclosed with tender care,
Where, side by side, three infants lay,
The only tenants there:--
Nor weed nor bramble raisd It's head
To mar the hallow'd scene,
And twas mothers tears, methought,
Which kept that turf so green.
The eldest was a gentle girl;
She sank as rose-buds fall,
And then two little brothers came,
They were their parents all
Their parents all land alb, how oft
The moan of sickness rose
Before within these narrow mounds;
They found long repose,
Their cradle sports, beside the hearth,
AT winters eve, are DER,
nelr mellow tones, so full OF mirth,
:. Delight the ear no more
let stll the thrilling echo lives;
And many lisping word
is treasured in affections heart,
by growing memory stirred.
9Tee little graves three little graves
:. Come hther, We who see
1ouT blooming babes around you smile,
A bllsslhl company
ana no o. those childess parents think,
With sympathyzing PAIN,
and sooth them with Sayiour's words,
Your dead shall rise again"
Columbus Democrat. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 18??-18??, 1838-05-05

Oh 4 no shall lightly say that fame
Is nothing but an empty name,
Whilst in that sound there is charm
The nerves to brace, the heart to warm;
As thinking of the mighty dead,
The young from slothful couch will start,
AMI vow, with lifted hands outspread,
Like them to act noble part
Oh who shall lightly say that fame
Is nothing but an empty name
When but for those, our mighty dead,
An ages past a blank would be,
Sunk in oblivion's murky bed
A desert bare, shipless sea
There are the distant objects seen
The lofty marks Of what have been.
Oh! who shall lightly say that fame
Is nothing but an empty name
When mem'ry Of the mighty dead,
To earth worn pilgrims wislul eye,
The brightest rays Of cheering shed,
That point to immortality II. Balte'
