THE HERo'S LAST HOURS.

BY PARK BENJAMIN.
"A few days and all must be with the Hero
he Hermitage daily paper
few more days, and he must sleep In death;
few more days, and unto God who gave,
The brave old hero must resign his breath,
And sink serenely to tranquil grave;
sink like the SUM- more glorious at last
Than when his rays in broad efulgence glowed
And over sea, and plain, and mountain, cast
Meridian splendor from his high abode.
For valor, wisdom, justice truth renowned,
By tyrants hated, and by freemen blessed,
With all his counirys loitiest honors crowned,
He goes 10 welcome his eternal rest;
Rest, that his soul has sighed for many years
With the dear partner Of his manhoods prime;
Rest in realm undimmed by doubts and fears,
Beyond the power OF change or sway of time.
Statesman and warrior, patriot and sage!
nation weeps thy late and slow decay;
First of the living great on history's page
Who W Ill remain when thou hast passed awayi
Who Of that noble band the tried and stern,
Men Of the old heroic stamp and creed,
On whom the present race may look and learn
How to be wise in thought, and bold in deedl
A few days. and over all the land
The bells deep toll, the cannons solemn boom
From west TO east shall sound the sad command,
aye people, mourn your hero in the tombD
Him, sumbering peaceful, strife reach more;
BY glory's halo circled is his name;
And long oh freedom, thy eagles soar
All thy new trumphs shall record his fame!

DEAR SIR One of the popular authors of your

al person. among the journeymen printers of Paris

occasion of its thirtieth anniversary am melted
to this pleasurabe act chiefly by the wish that print
ers all over the world may in the language of one
of our illusrious guests particpate in the exaltng
sympathies OF a common brotherhood - but must
confess that further motive is repay in courtesy
the very marked attachment of Frenchmen TO the
cause of American freedom, and their personal at
tentions and devoted regard to our countryman and
fellow-craftsman, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, while he re-
sided as an ambassador in France.
Indeed, sir, the art of printing, and the inventions
proceeding from that ar-namely, steamboats,, rail-
roads, and magnetic teegraphs-have drawn so near
together the cxtremtes of the globe that these little
civites from individuals and associations of one
nation to those of another due no less to feel
ings of reciprocal kindness than to the Intellectual
advancement of the age in which printers perform
so prominent part.
Believing, therefore, that this will be sufficient
apology for what might otherwise appear an unwar-
rantable intrusion, beg leave to subscribe myself
very respectfully, your humble servant,
