Prcsidsn, Tay'ol's message, which

TO THE SEA.
Thou sea.-thou blue unfa,homed sea:
l love thy hillows lid and free,
Thy vast unstuaied lore;
And when the >ta,s of evening rest,
Like jewels on thy tranquil breast,.
seek thy lonely shore.
Roll back thy billows, mighty sea,
Unveii thine awful depths to me-
Thy deep my ysterious caves.
Where mermaias dwell in coral bowers,
And gems lie strown like summer flowers,
Beneath the sounding waves.
Thou hast the spoils of many lands.
Concealed amid thy weitering sands,
And many a form lies there,
Whose heart once thrilled with love and fear
For whom was poured the scaiding tear,
And feryent midnight prayer.
Thou givest thy slain g'orious rest
A couch with gold and diamonds drest-
more than kingy gave;
And there tie young and fair lie down,
The hero with his proud renown,
And there the !ettered slave.
And naught to thee is human pride;
The rich and poor lie side by side,
In thine o'ershadowing gloom:
And there the out-ca>t wanderer sleeps.
Where princeiy treasures, heaps on heaps,
Adorn this coral tomb.
Thou hast mournful voice to me,
Thou restless, ever murmur,ng sea!
A sad funehrial wall;
As if thy strange, repentant waves,
Were sighting o'er tn" hidden graves,
or those, whom they have slain.
Roll on,-roll on. thou mighty deepi
/ hear the wrathfu tempest sweep,-
hear thy hiilows moan!
And if pprchance my grave may he
Within thy tosom.-sirg "'er me

FROM the dark ard troubled surges


FROM the dark atd troubled surges
or the roaring sea OF time,
Evermore word emerges,
solemn, beautiful. sublime.
So nf old, from Grecian water,
mid the music and the balm,
Rose the dread olympian.s daughter,
Floating on the azure claim.
Evermore the worlds are fading.
EvefmOre the worlds will bloom,
To refute our weak upbraiding,
To throw brightness on the gloom.
Ever the imperfect passes,
But the perfect ever grows;
Forests sink to drear moraSses,
Fairer landscapes to disclose.
All the beauty, all the splendor,
Of the ancient earth and sky,
Graceful form and persons tender,
All have passed in silence by.
Man the fairest, man the youngest,
Man. the darling of the Gods,
With the weakest, with the strongest,
Travels to the still abodes.
All his brothers, unlamenting,
To the eternal plan conform,
Fall unqnai!ing. unrepenting,
In the calm and in the storm.
Man, too, with a quiet bearing,
With brave heart and steadfast eye,
Undisturbed and undespairing,
Yes, with noble joy, must diet
Has he shared what nature profierec?
Gladly taken what she gave?
Now the one hast gift is offered,
Let him take that gift-the grave.
Wah grand renunciation,
Let HIM leave to earth and sun,
For another generation,
All the good that he hath done.
Knowing that the laws eternal,
Never, never, can deceive;
Raised above the sphere diurnal,
And too noble, far. to grieve.
Glad that he has been the agent,
or the universal heart,
That, in life's majestic pageant,
He has played no worthless part.
So great and holy feeling
Shall sustain his human soul,
And, silent strength re-, ealing,
Shall the part reseek the whole.
1t shall change, but shall not perish,
Now in life and now in death,
For what most we love and .herish,
Dies to breathe nohier breath.
