The Last Journey Of Henry Clay.

He passe,h on his way,
The Man TO Senates dear,
The silver voiced, whom satherd throng'
Still held their breath to hear:
He hath no warriors crown,
No laurel on his breast,
Bu, Peace her dropping Olive binds
Amid his stainless crest.
He shrank not a, his post
Till the spoiler srasp'd his hand,
And s,ernly chain'd the silver tongue
Whose music charm'd the land;
Mid Summers glorious pride,
With the tramp Of iron steed,
Hesweepetb on, DER the realm he loved
Bu, his closed eyes take no heed.
Our cities veiled their heads
As through their gates he passed,
And the mournful voice of tolling bells
Walled out upon the blast:
And forth our noblest came
To guard the sacred trust,
And weeping woman east her wreath
Upon bis honored dust.
He passeth on his way
In more than kingly state,
And silen, children press 10 gaze
Uron the fallen great;
While from the ramparts proud,
Where his countty's banners fly,
The booming cannon speak his praise
Bu, he dsigneth no reply.
There's sorrow on the wave
As the cofIined dead they bring
The pausing ships their pennons furl
Like all eagles broken wing;
And as the ripping streams
That precious burden bore,
The murmuring rivers tell the grief
To every shrouded shsre.
He passeth on his way,
To his own cultured lawn
The shadow Of his planted trees
That bloom when he is gone
And agonizing Love
Reholds with stifled moan,
A Nations tear upon the bier,
That mingles With her own.
Bow down in rsverent woe,
Beside his sable pail.
The Friend of Man, who fearless sought
The brotherhood Of oil
Strong in Saviour's strength,
When li(s's ftail web was riven,
The Truth and Peace he loved on earth
Made him home in Heaven.

so much a large amount Of income, as

see il an established principle, that a

Justice to maintain that clergyman as
their pastor even when his best days are
over; even 10 his latest breath. That
