Ode to the Memory OF Washington.
NJ HELEN MATTHEWS

When memory lifts the veil, which time hath cast
Der tho bright visions Of the glorious past,
The heart expands beneath her soft control.
While patriot ardor warns each Freemap's soul.
Yet fond regret will bid the sye grow dim.
Whenever the falt' ring tongue would eak ofhim.
Who needs no herald to record his praise,
Or bind his brow with eve rlasting bays.
He. whose loved deeds will live from age TO age,
Whose name is stamped on the eternal page!
Psrchance his spirit hovers DER the land,
Raised TO its glory by his Patriot hand;
Perchance with Joy he marks her power increase,
And breathes u prayer for that Iov'd country's
peace,
That Land. for which he offered M his blood
First in tho strife. he stemn med the battles food; ;
With giant force, he burst the tvrant's chain,
And Freedom sIone triumphanty again!
Justice in him, was tempered by the CLEAN
OF soft comparisons mild and ptving beam,
And tho his sense Of right, imp-ll-d the deed.
The Patriot w-pt. to view cen traitors bleed.
Like the dark thunder cloud, that sometimes
lowers,
Bathing the earth, with pure refreshing showers,
When struggling sunli ght gilds the passing shade,
A nd scatters hopeful radiance DER the glade!
Hail! Guardian spirit Of the Giant West!
Whose image dwells in every Freenan's breast,
BY whom each nobler thought. deeds inspired,
By friends adored! and cen by foes admired.
All. nc'er did stern ambitions baneful power,
Touch his great soul cen in the proudest hour,
No selfish thought engrossed his noble. mind,
Where all was peace, and purity combined,
lie loved his country, for herself alOne:-
tie asked no 'ecom'rnse. no crown. no throne.
Save in the Peoples hedrt's and there entwined,

Then calmly babe his arduous labors cease,
