From the Brother Jonathan.
THE DEATH OF HARRISON.
ny N. ?. WILLIS.


What soard the old eagle to die at the sun
Lies he stiff with spread wings at the goal he had won!
Are there spirits blest than the planet of even
Who mount TO their zenith, then melt into Heaven
NO waning OF fire, no quenching of ray,
But Using, still rising, when passing away
Farewell, gallant eagle thou 1T buried in light
God speed unto Heaven lost star Of our night
Death Death in the White House All, never before
Irod his skeleton foot on the Presidents floor
lie Is looked for in howell and dreaded in hall
The king IN his closet keeps hatchment and pail
The youth in his birth place the old man at home
Make clean from the door-sone the path to the tomb;
But the lord Of this mansion Graded not here
In churchyard far of stands his reckoning bier
lie Is here the wavecrest heaves flashing high
As the arrow is stoppd by its prize in the sky-
The arrow to earth, and the foam to the shore
Death finds them when swiftncss and sparkle DER.
But aarrsons death fills the climax of story
lie went with his old stride-from glory to glory
Lay his sword on his breast There's no spot on its
blade
In whose cankering breath his bright laurels will
fade
IT was the first to lead ON at humanty's call
II was stayed with sweet mercy when glory was all
As calm IN the council as gallant in war,
He fought for bis country and not its hurrahp
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
He 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 thro' his
hand
Is there nothing to show of his glittering board
No jewel to deck the rude Hill Of his sword
No trappings no horses what had he, but now?
On on with his ashes The left but his plough
Brave old Cincinnatus! Unwind We his sheet
Let him sleep as he lved-wth his purse at his feet
Follow now, ye list The first mourner to-day
Is the nation-whose father is taken away
Wife, children and neighbor, may mourn at his knel
lie was " lover and friend" to his country WELL
For the stars on our banner grown suddenly dim,
Let us weep in our darkncss-hut weep not for him
Not for him-who, departing leaves millions in tears
Not for him-who has died full of honors and years
Not for him-who assembled Fames ladder so high
From the round at the top he has stepd TO the sky
1t is blessed to go when so ready TO die!

Oh then with breathings deep and clear,
Bid mercy fill the murmurs here,
And softly sweet thy notes shall tell
OF many joy--thou vesper bell!-NoRNA.
