The procession was mes, i'm posing. and spoke volumes for the elevated Princ- ples which could biad men of different pursuits, Igous psrsassions and politics 10 cooperate ia a common cause of enlightened humanity. We are given to understand that to tend their sick, bury their dead and educate their orphans, made iIn peraiiye duiies upon each member of these societies. We cordially cry God speed to such noble objects. We were an eyewitness to the respect and aiteD- ,io1 observed in the funeral ceremonies, and doubt no, that like real charaeerIzes the performance of their other duties. The Regalia looked not only well. but, in many cases, exceeded any thng of the sort we had ever before witnessed.

He threw apon iss neck rosden chain, CoRtrol'd it's powers. ss is the hoaSdiRg mSin By skillfal hands, anclasped it's ieisered page, And woa and wore The laareis of a sage. The PariAn marble felt the chisel's stroke, Aed into faulyess forms of besuty woke, Bssashiag the warmth and semblsnce Of the sOal Which like entertainment on the senses stole. Shapes unsu rpsssee. unique, unspottod, rare, Embodying all that's uaiy grand and fair i; Magnificent conceptions, brilliant themes, V hieh seem tAs poetry of dreams, Grew iato fnll perfection in his hour or deep research, and energetic power. stupendous piles that biaEsd upon the sky, Coriathian columns rising gracefully, Vast ampAiihes,res whose bulky forms Dsfyed the earthquake and the heavens black
 storms, Stood frownfng in bewildsring grandeur on, The shores of Hslespont aud Marathon, And whore the Danubs's apd Eaphrates' wavs Roll sullenly, 10 the cstaracts that lave The famed Egyptan's sands, and stretching wioe Beyond the cliffs that suari tn At;aatic's tide, Til mountain, hiil and vale sup-Foly crowned, The nIajesty of peerless Geaias owned. Bnt vandal hands have stript the psiHceIy halls. Placked down the domes of Pri5e, the massive

 The glorioas works of art and science marred, Nor palaces. statuary. or temple spared. 4 nd vet subliui,y around their toHibs. Hath dung it's robe of glory mid the glooms. Where Homer sang, aud Virgil taned his Tyre. And wondering Savans caught celestial fire; Where ali the Grsess reigped. and patriots bied, Ind Freedom pined over Reasons gory bed; Their msss-clad, gaunt, dilspidated lanes, Half baried on the once vine frelissed plains Where countless millions trod the trembling earth, And music mingled with the voice of mirth, SdIl bear the impress of hand divine A nd through Inc mis;s Of mdewed ages shine. Those grand old ruins from their Empire graves Above whose sleep haan,iRg banner waves, No maIsoIeam ia scgiptered spleador stands, To tell their story 10 far distant iands, Discourse in language understood by all Who love the Arts civine. the beautiful, Tbat hs who pants for never wiiaering hays, To crown his u'emary in some future age, Must learn. that nature, deep within her breast, Hides the bright angury of his nigh behest; That he who studies to be great or wise, Must spell her sybi teaching mysteries Her outer ,coaris oerpass, explore the sky 4 nd on his own unaIdsi piniens fly
 Twas thus, the men of gore their victories won. TransceDdiag all the Madsins have done; They copied nature, breathed her thaughts alone, A nd took their coOrs from the burning sun; Studied with care, her long neglected tonnes. And entered unspslsd. her protteed homes; 4 nd ia their Titan footsteps we must tread, If we would emaate the storied dad. Oatsrip the past in dsathles, fame.
