THE DEATH OF HARRISON.

by N. p WILLIS.
What soard the old eagle to die at the sun
Lies he stiff with spread wings at tho goal he had wont
Are there spirits, blest than the planet of even
Who mount to their zenith, then melt into Heaven
No waning of FIRE, no quonchng of ray,
But rising still rising, when passing away
Farewell, gallant eagle! thour't buried in light!
God speed unto Heaven, lost star of our night |!
Death Death in the White House All never before
Trod his skeleton foot on the Presidents floor!
He is looked for in howell, and dreaded in hall
The king In his closet keeps hotchmont md pail
The youth in his birthplace, the old man at home,
Make clean from the door stone tho path to the tomb;
But the lord of this mansion cradled not here
In a church-yard far of stands his reckoning bier
He is here tho wave-crcst heaves flashing on high
As the is sopp'd by its prize in the sky
The arrow to earth and tho foam to the shore
Death finds them when swiness and sparkle arc o'crj
But HARRIsoN's death fills the climax of story
Ho went with his old stride-from glory to glory!
Lay his sword his breast There's spot its blade
In whose cankerng breath his bright aurnls will fade.
'1was the first 20 lead on ut humanity's call 49,
1t was stayed with sweet mercy when glory' all
As calm in the council as gallant in war,
lie fought for his country, and not its 'hurrnh J"
In the path Of the hero with pity he trod,
Let him pass with his sword to the presence of God
What more Shall we on, with his ashes Yet stay!
lie hath ruled the wide realm of king in his day!
At his word like monarch's, went treasure and land
The bright gold of thousands has passed through his hand
IL there nothing to show of his glittering hoard
No jewel to deck the rude hilt OF his sword
No trappngs? no horses what had he but now
On! with his ashes he loft but his plough
Brave old Cncinnatus! Unwind ye his sheet
Let him sleep he livd-with his purse at his feet!
Follow now as ye list! The first mOurneT today
Is the nation, whose father is taken away
Wife, Children and neighbor may mourn at his knoll
He was GLOVER and friend" to his country as we'll!
For the stars on our banner, grown suddenly DIM,
Let us weep in darkness, but weep not Tor MIN
Not for him who departing, leaves millions in tears!
Not for him who has died full of honors and years!
Not for him, who ascended Fame's ladder so hlgh,
From round the top he has steppd to the sky!
1 is blessed to when so ready to die +!
