THE GRAVE,

How little reflection is expended upon,
yet how much is called for by the grave
by the lowIlest hillock that is piled over
the icy bosom, by the grassiest hollow that
has sunk with the Wondering bones of a
fellow creature! And in this narrow haven
rots the bark that has ploughed the surges
of the great vital ocean! In this little den,
that the thistle can overshadow in days
growth, and tie molewarp undermine in an
hours labor. is crushed the spirit that could
enthral world, and dare even a contest
with destiny How little it speaks for the
value of the existence which man endures
so many evils 10 prol"ng; how much it
reduces the significance of both the pomp
and wretchedness Of being. reducing all its
vlcissiludes into the indlstiuguishable iden-
tity which infinite distance gives to the,
stars-a point without para!laX. a speck.
an atom! Such is life-the gasp Of child
that inspires the air of existence but once
"a single breath breathed from eternity.
But the destiny that comes behind us-o-
hlivion? 1t is not enough that we moral
Use upon the equality of the sepuchre; that
the rich man, whose soul is in the Ostenta-
ton of marble palace, and his heart in
the splendor Of the feast should consider
how small pit must content him, or that
the proud. who boast their pre-eminence
above the beasts" should know that the
shaggy carcass and the lawn-shrouded
corse must fatten the earth together. We
should teach our vanity the lesson Of hui
initiation that is offered by the grave; neg
Iectng The mighty mausoeumns of those
marvellous spirits which fame has render
ed immortal, we should turn to the name
less tombs of the million, and in their de-
serted obscuriiy, discover the feeble hold
which we ourselves must bave upon earth
and the memory of men. Friendship for
gets what the devouring earth has claimed;
and even enmity ceases at last TO remem'
Der the resting place Of foe. Love our
selves as we may. devote our affections to
Others as we can, yet must our memory
perish with us i'm the grave.-Dr. BIRD.
