EARrH's bridal day again Forth TO renew
Her annual vow with the espousing sky
Tho comes rejoicingy With brighter torch
Than tabled Hymcn ever ii, in Heaven,
The genial sun walks the cnpyrean.
To hail the glOres OF the nupiia morn.
An Nature starts 10 bcauteOus life. The leaves

The infectious magic, and with sweetest blush
Bid Joyous welcome meath, above around
stealing their pcriumed kisses, dances on 10y
The gladstone breeze, while heaven taught notes Of

With melody and fragrance doth tired Noon

While roseaic Morning battles in every spray
That drips the dewy tears Of early Spring.

Once reveled az views like this II gazed,
Now in the death eclipse all scaled forever

Tnchiseled were by Manhood thoughtful lines
Like blessed dreams those memories look forth
From out their hallowed chambers, and, as stars,

The hopes Of many friends and parents prayers
Had treasured in thy crystal intellect
And moral worth. full many precious gem
They saw thee spun with noble selfcOmmand
The willy lures which gildcd Folly sows
Ia Youths bright path and with manly ann,
Reach for the solid and enduring ends
Ofuseiul life With pride they saw expand
The lofty purpose OF a mind that scorncd
All selfish sensual. fashionable wrong,
And fix It's grasp on more exalted things
Wealth was not thine, my brother but the high
And strong resolve, the willing hand and heart
Rock firm in rccitude, and gentle too,
Natures nobility enstamped Oh thee.
Heaven smiled upon thy honorable toll
Thy country gave its gucrdon and rs crown
Beneath the spangcd sheet she babe thee come,
And reap the hOnOrs OF a well earned fame.
With heart highbeaiing, and step of pride,
Forth went the loved one the all bounding sea
To make his home Hope dried the manly tear
That swclled when on the green and sunny fields
OF his nativity he gave the look
That years might not renew. she Dadc nm view,

Months rolled away on many southern breeze
That sped the home bound bark, glad tldings came
OF the far voyagcr The tropic sun

Where ersi and earliest famed Columbus trod
And ruled in potency and pncd IN chains:
Realms where the bannercs OF proud CASTLE
And Leon swaycd, and rich Hidagocs wrung
From the toilcd Indian the accursed gold
Lands Of theswarhy cheek and burning eye,
The impulsivc daggerod hand. and naughty brow
SPANS pomp and passion pride and chivary-
Here wondering wandered mong the giri isles
That brother loved, beneath the stripes and stars
Homeward with nosccss and unpcopcd decks
HES the Nandao As her brisng sides
Plow the dark brine no thrilling music stirs
Glad thoughts OF home DroOps gloOmy adOwn
Its staff the pennon oi our country fame
Unwonicd silence, and the sorrowing forms
That tread her decks aud give the brief command.
Bespcak the presence of an autocrat
More dread and stern than ever ruled the wave
All the mute tribute which the dreadful plank
Pays frequent at the gangway, plainly tells
The yals of the pcs,ilcncc unseaed.
And horrid havoc rio,ing within.
Demon of dcsolation! spare, q spare
That brother loved.
Another sulcn flash
Another lcaden plunge, and all is over
Brother the deep aud everlasting
Holds all the pcstilcncc hath left of thcc'
Calmly submissive To the will of Heaven,
Closed he his eye on all that charmed below,
And met his tmcless fate without tear.
Bat Oh the dark dark void in anguishod hearts
That live to know his loss Alas for them
Fain would they break with grief, and go To thee
How shall they bear the everlasting chill
And the unbrokcn silence that for aye
Shall shroud thy path How shall the heart be taught
TO write against thy long desired return
No more" q how unlcam to send for thee
The morning and the evening orisonl
How list not still in every breeze that comes
To drink the fragrance of the summer time.
Thy blessed coming Shall thy won,ed voice
The pulses OF the stricken household band
Nccr thrill again with eladncss Vain ah vain

Gone. gone forage, and We must live to mourn
Still it is well The billow burics thee

Thy pillow lieih Bu, within those deep
And azure chambers looks the eye of Him

And when the voice that shakes the "pillarcd Earth
Bids the cnerossing sea restore its dead.
