For the ENQUIRER.


The Death Of the keHng.
A cOuraer sped upon his race.
And hope beat high for him;
The earth was soon his resting place
In death his eye grew dim;
For though he tracked his course so feet,
As heaved his rushing breath,
Yet swifter than his bounding feet
Pursued the shaft of death.
An eagle scared at morn away,
Nor feared to seek the sun,
But ere the noontide's glowing ray,
His latest sands had run;
And downward from his lofty height
With unneryed wing he came.
For Death had met him in his flight,
His blazing eye 10 tame.
And like the racer in his strife
Hopes pinion broadly flung.
Thus in the early morn OF life
Dealh-struck, sink down The Young.
But o there is a race-a flight
Where Death no power is given
Except TO usher into light
The glorious light of heaven.
