will finally accomplish it. In the days of the
Revolution, the more the spirit of Liberty
manifested itself the more resolute were tyrants
to resist and "discountenance it, but every
effort of the tyrant to quench the fire, only
added fuel to the flame. Not unlike that
struggle is the one in which we are now en-
gagged nor will their results be dissimilar.
Let, then. the True Democracy act for this is
pre-eminently the time for action. Let us
. strike while the iron is hot" Let every man
act as though the ultimate success of correct
principles depends upon his individual exertion.
Let us remember, that although Truth is a
mighty weapon it takes bold minds aud stout
hearts to WELD it,

In lonely mood wander forth,
With weary step and languid eye
There is no beauty on the earth,
There is no glory in the sky
All day cypress shadow seems
To wrap my spirit like cloud
Between me and the sunlight CLEANS
A golden head. a snowy shroud.
Beneath grave-stones marble thrall'
To Death my hopes and joys are gwen
With her whose angel shape is all
My eyes behold of light and heaven
When Spring her bright regalia wears,
court her smiles and kisses warm
Yet still her varying beauty bears
The likeness of that buried form.
When primrose buds their star-born CLEAN
Upon the wings of twilight she'd
To me their waving clusters seem
The trosses Of that golden head.
Inc Wultt blooms on tue OICHdIu tlSSS
Rest like soft descended cloud
But snowdrops and anemones
Are pallid as that phantom shroud
/ wander mid the autumn woods.
When midnight lamps are in the sky;
The winds, amid their sOitudes,
Sound hollow as a spirits cry.
The eaf-gems from the glittering crown
That Spring time to the forest brings,
Like wounded birds come futtering down,
With blood-spots on their yellow wings.
The moonlight falls. in amber bars
Between the arrowy birchen stems
The brightness of November stars
Is mirrOred in thousand gems
Yet sun and moon, and starlight pale,
Spring flowers, and autumns mellow vine,
To wake one thrill Of gladness fail,
Within this haunted heart Of mine
For nought of glory in the sky,
And nought of beauty on the earth,
But wears her semblance, to my eye,
Who sits no more beside my hearth.
The shadows or that marble stone,
Still fold my spirit like cloud
Still float between me and the sun,
That golden head, and snowy shroud.
