THE LIFE CLOCB

There is a little mystic clock
10 human eye bath seen,
That beateth on-and baateth On
From morning until cen.
Ard when the soul is wrapp'd IN sleep.
And hearath not q sound,
It ticks and ticks the liya-lJng night,
And never rIln-th down.
Oh, Wondarous i the work Of art,
Which kueils the pas iag hour:
But AIT ua'er iomQ nor mind conceived
The lie clock magic power
Nor set in golI-nor decllcd with gems
by pride and wealth possessed;
But Iich OT poor, high or low,
Zach bears II in lis breast.
When lies deep stream, mid beds of flowers,
And sill and softly giides;
Like the waveletas step, a gentle beat,
1t warns OF passing tides.
When passions nerves the warriors arm
For deeds OF hate and wrong,
Though needed not, the leartui sound,
The kneel IS deep and strong.
When eyes to eyes are gazing soft,
And tender words are spoken,
Then fast and wild it rattlea on,
As il with love t were broken.
Such Is the clock that measures
OF flesh and spirit blended,
And thus t viii run within the breast,
Till this strange life Is ended.

DYING ON BOILER DECK-We Witnessed on
Tuesday, a sad scene one of the steamers which
passed our city. An aged man. whose name we
will not mention, as he had friends with him, was
stretched upon the boiler deck, upon a rude pal
let lie was apparently in the last agonies of that
mysterious separation of the mental and the phys
zeal man. The unsteady and labored heayngs of
his bosom, the half closed and listless eye, the
shrunken frame, all told too plainly, that he must
die. He was about to pay the debt that animated
nature owes to the inevitable decree of Him who
formed ia separation of the eternal from the
teriat parts of man. Il a melancholy specta
tacle, and it an incident in the tJe-the death
OF man, to produce emotions Of the grayest cast,
and reflections of the most intense interest. He
was stranger-he was dying--he not at
home, oh what a sacred name, hoo,e )-he was
on boiler deck-dying amidst the din and noise Of
Z steamers landing 1t was narrowing scene
one that could not fail to excite the sympathy Of
the spectators. The gentle and soothing hand Of
woman not there TO smooth that dying brow
the comforts of home were not around him but
he was not alone, although dying on q Jojier deck.
There was who watched by him, and seemed
TO await with hopeful yet doubtful anxiety, the
pulsations of that failing heart. 1t was loving
and faithful son. In the absence of wife and
daughter, this boy of nature-the son of the ia
ther--sat by, and mnistered every comfort to his
dying sire, which the circumstances could afford
but particularly the obatons of afectionate
heart. There friends around that pallet on
the boiler deck but they felt not as the son felt
kind and gushing may have been their sympa-
thy, it reached not the centre OF the soul, the su-
preme affections of the heart-unfelt only by
those who are placed in a position to watch over
father, dying.
The boat departed with the subjects of this scene
on board. The sufferer was not dead but evident
ly dyng--the business transactions on board could
not cease-they had no time to pause until an i'm
mortal spirit could take its fight from its earthly
tabernacle was but moment--yetthe momen
could not de spared. adeh is tte-such is death.-
