monument. We beg that those disposed

In that far sunny land, whose skies
Vie with ltalia's golden cline
Where all the year with perfume sigls-
Enchant the hours of switt-wingcd time;
Where nature spreads her gaudicst wing,
And zrphyrs breathe their balmicst
breuths-
Where happy birds nc'cr ceaS" to sing,
Nor flowing vines to twinc their wrcaths
Where man may pass the lucious hours,
Untired by tolls scvereSt powers
Where beauty DIVE lis, and love may dream
OF all the bliss by fancy wrought,
Until her w%rnest hopes all seem
Within subtle network caught;
Where orange buds, like drops ofpcarl,
Lie scattered on the tccming ground;
And jascmno's wildsthcir tcndris curl.
The grateful tree of hcay'n around;
Where tall magnolia's lift their checks
OF snowy whiteness to the sky.
And Nature, many-voiced c'cr seeks
To send her praises of God on high.

mise at this particular juncture affords sense
OF relief to the great body of the party of which
he was member, it is equally true that the
manner of his death, the trying scenes Ofhis last
hours, are eminently calculated to restore any
decaying admiration of his character as a man,
and to exalt the affection and appreciation of
bis friends. II seems to us, that to every i'm
partial mind, that death-bed scene cannot be
otherwise than deeply touching and impressive.
1t exhibits dignity, manliness, selfpOise
and selfreliance, sOundness and robustness of
nature and of intellect, worthy of the highest
admiration. And the more We reflect upon il,
the more we are impressed by it, aud the more
disposed do we feel to turn away from those
scenes and those reflections which would revive
disparaging impressions in relation TO his char
acter 1t dispOses us to dwell only upon the
the best aspects of that character, with which
it must BE- confessed that scene blends in beau
tiful and exquisite harmony. Ifthere were de-
fciencies and blemishes in his career, there
were at least none in his bearing IN that dread
hour when he felt himself summoned to appear
in the presence of his Maker. We see in his
department on that mOmentOus occasion, the
graceful submission OF truly majestic nature.
We behold lofty and commanding intellect be-
coming obedient TO the summons which ordered
ting none Of the duties, the demands, or the
propreties of mortal existence about to close.
His life did not end as the lives OF most end,
with thoughts OF self merely, or struggles 70
forget self He recognized the condition of
those friends he was about to leave behind him,
with a singular mixture OF consideration, ten
derness, and collectedness of soul. Hewas not
only cool and self-possessed himself, his vigOr-
Gus spirit even buOyed up and animated those
who surrounded him in his last moments He
recognized his own condition in the same
spirit of pbilosophic and selfsustaining contem-
plation. He looked steadfastly in the face of
the grim messenger and calmly held out the
hand OF recognition as he approached. He ac-
conpanied him without a shudder within the
gates Of eternity which swung wide to receive
him. He passed the threshold with tranquil
majesty casting upon the world last look
which was at once his calmest and modest In
the closing scenes of his life, TO speak of no 9TH
ers he far Outshone his two great cOmpeers.
How meagre appears the record OF their dy
ing hours when contrasted with his And yet
their careers, when so compared are open to no
such criticism. Their live will be by many
deemed TO be as full and as animating and as
glorious. But their history furnishes no such
complete, fitting, and illustrious close. We for
get the falings, while We drop tear upon the
