Ter general pruning Of the trees around Har
ward College.
II was not many centuries since,
When. gathered on the moonlit green,
Beneath the tree Of liberty,
ring Of weeping sprites was seen.
The freshman lamp had long been dim,
The voice of busy day was mute,
And tortured melody had ceased,
Her sufferings on the evening flute.
They met, not ar they once had met,
To laugh Ger many jocund Tale;
But every pulse was beating low,
And every cheek was cold and pale.
There rose fair but faded one,
Who Oft had cheered them with her song;
She waved mutilated arm,
And silence held the listening throng.
"Sweet friends" the gentle nymph began,
"From opening but TO whitening leaf,
One common lot has hound us all,
In every change Of joy and grief.
"While all around has felt decay,
We rose in everything prime,
With broader shade and fresher green,
Beneath the crumbling step Of Time.
"When often by our feet has past,
Some biped, natures walking whlm,
Saw, have we trimmed one awkward shape,
Or Topped away one crooked limb

Shall Nature yield her idle boast;
Her vulgar fingers formed a tree,
But thou hast trained it to post.

And quilt the peach with softer down;
Up with the willow 9 trailing threads,
OFF with the sunfower's radiant crown

And set the rose among the waves,
And bid the tropic bud unbind
Its silken zone in arctic caves:
"Bring bellows for the painting winds,
Hang up lantern by the moon,
And give the nightingale fife,
And lend the eagle balloon!
81 cannot smile-the tide of scorn,
That rolled through every bleeding vein,
Comes kndling fercer as it flows
Back to its burning source again.

To crop US with his felon saw
May every fruit his lip shall taste,
Lie like bullet in his nav.
'In every julep that he drinks.
May govt and bile, and headache be;
And when he strives to calm his pain,
May collie mingle with his tea.
"Mny nightshade cluster round his path,
And thistles shoot, and brambles cling;
May blistering ivy scorch his veins,
And dogwood burn and nettles sting.
"On him may never shadow fall,
When fever racks his throbbing brow
And his last shilling buy rope
To hang him on my highest bough -
She spoke,--the mornings herald beam
Sprang from the bosom ofthe sea,
And every mangled sprite returned
In sadness to her wounded tree.
