THE LAST EVOLUTION.
BY JOHN X. HOLMES.

Stricken with age, low-bowed and wan,
Now breaks for thee Lifo latest wave,
Snow-crowned Deaths angel marks thy span
Go to thy QUOT grave.
There may the war-worn veteran rost
Fear not the dark, unloved retreat:
Oft DER il, for Earths brave and best
Have muffled drums been beat
Calm hero there the patriots sigh
Shall ne'er upon thy cold ear break
No battle blaze illumo thine eye,
No sentinel cry awake
Warm tears that sanctify will fall
Dear offerings which thy memory needs,
The mourners heart unicigned recall
In War or Peace thy deeds
How brave on Bunker Hill you stood
When Freedoms heart beat sad and slow
How rose your Spartan hardihood
On Valley FORCES snow
How in the loud nights winter deep,
When furious storms around you sped,
You laid your shivering frame to sleep
Upon your blanket bed.
Oh. more-when Wars .oud camor died,
And Death piled up his awful yield,
Thou TUNED with Cincirnatus pride
To work the fertile field.
And how thy Christian eye grew bright,
Whom learning stood beside thy door,
And church-spircs CLEANED with Sabbath light,
Where War shook Earth before.
