| saw him as he entered. Age had thinncd
The white locks clustering round his ample
brow,
And recent sickness chained him: vet he came
Still strong in spirit from his northern hills,
To the high conclave, where he longcd to be.
u saw him, as beneath that lofty dome,
Where throng the chosen and the gifted men
From all our many States he took his seat.
Up, like a cloud, they rose, and noble heads
Were bowed before him; and unfettrrcd hearts
Paid homage to that sold man eloquent, -
Such homage as doth honor him who gives,
AS well as him who takes.
Heaven bless thee still.
Statesman and sage, of high ancestral line,
Who, with the force ola far reaching mind,
Enriched by discipline of studious lore,
Hast served thy countryevcn from boyhood >

Till fourscore winters settled, and hast borne
The highest honors. Be thy fame her care,
And, mid her pictures for race unborn,
Be this uprising in her halls to greet
The hoory head, with priceless wisdom crown

Sang of Isracl's victory,
Sang ofZion, bright and free,
In that hour, when night is cnlmest,
Sang he from the Hebrew Psalmist,
In voice so sweet and clear
That | could not choose but hear.
Songs oftriumph, and Inscriptions,
Such us reached the swart Egyptians,
When upon the Read Sea coast
Pcrishcd Pharaoh and his host.
And the voice of his devotion
Filled my soul with strange emotion;
For its tones by turns were glad,
Swcctly solemn, wildly sad.
Paul and Sjlas, in their prison,
Sang of Christ, the Lord arisen.
And an earthquake S arm of might
Broke their dungeon gates at night.
But, alas what holy angel
Brings the slave this glad evangcl'
And what earthquake s arm ofmight
Breaks his dungeon gates at night:
