From the Louisville Journal
Fallen Genius.
BY J. Il. BARRY.

Fame inscribed his name in glory,
On her bright immortal page,
Aud his deeds in song and story
Will survive the dying age.
Genius, with the hues Of heaven,
Stamped her image on his heart,
And the soul of thought was given
To the spirit of his art.
Friends he had, who loved him dearly,
In the promise of his youth:
Parents, too, whose precepts early
Taught him wisdom, love and truth,
Naught had dimmed his high hopes, ever
Rising upward from his breast;
Naught had chilled his heart-no, never
Naught but made it more than blest.
Bards and sages loved his presence
Ere his morning suns eclipse;
And his praise spoke in each sentence,
Falling gently from their lips,
Wisdom from her height descended,
On his noble brow to smile;
And the light of learning blended
With the spirits light the while.
Hope, above his path, hath woven
Summer skies of golden hue;
And as yet, to him, each token
OF her promises were true.
Love and friendship long united,
In his heart together grew;
And that love was early plighted
TO maiden fond and true.
All that life most fondly treasures,
All the bliss that thought can yield,
All the rainbow-tintcd pleasures
Cullcd from fancy's fruitful field
These, and more than these, were given
To his radiant soul to share
TO his soul, which seemed from heaven
All its attributes to heir.
But there came an hour when error
Woocd his wayward heart and won;
And that hour, with woe and terror,
Darkcned all lifc's future sun.
Need that errors name be spoken
In the burning words of fire,
Since it widowed hearts hath broken,
Saddcning soul and harp and Tyre?
Then his name of fame and glory,
Once embalmed in measured song,
Sounded like mournful story,
Writ in tears of grief and wrong.
And by adverse tempcsts driven,
Passed he through his latest hours,
Like tree by rude winds rivcn
Of his foliage and his flowers.
