And come with the strong sinew,
Nor faint in heat and cold.
And pause not till the evening
Draws round its wreath Of golds
And mount the crnmbling watch-towers,
And herald on the truth;
Preach out the golden prccepts,
To wild and wayward youth.
Mount up the heights of Wisdom
And crush each error low:
Keep back no ords Of knowledge
That human hearts should know.
BE faithful TO thy mission,

MISCELLAN N Y
The Tower Of London.

Professor Upham, in a communication from
London TO the Congregationalist, thus speaks
of this ancient pile':-
/ employed waterman Of the Thames to
take me in his boat from the London bridge to
the Tunnel and in going down the river, as
we wound our way amid its various shipping,
passed in sight and very near to that celebra-
ted mass of walls and buildings, known as the
Tower of London. The Tower, which had
visited and examined little before, is situated
in the easten part Of the city, and was origi-
nally the fortified residence of the English
monarchs. mn r
In its whole extent it covers surface Of
twelve acres, inclosed within strong WALL
Within these walls there is lofty square bull
ding, called the White Tower. II is built up
on rising ground; and is ninety-two feet in
height, with walls seventeen feet in thickness.
1t was erected by William the Conqueror and
is the most ancient part Of the Tower build
ings; and for long time it formed, of itself,
the Tower of London Our boatman, as he
rowed us by the side Of these celebrated build
ings, pointed out the water-gate, called the
Traitor S, Gate through which persons guilty
of high political offences, are brought to the
Tower. There is square tower near the
water-gate, called the Bloody Tower, from
the circumstance that it was the place of the
murder of two infant princes by their uncle,
Richard III. 1t was through the gateway of
the Bloody Tower that / had previously
passed, in order to examine what it is permit
ted visitors to see. One Of the objects Of spec
ial interest, because it throws light upon his
tory and social progress, is the Horse Armory.
Inc principal apartment in its interior. room
OF hundred and fifty feet in length, is occu-
pied BY an imposing line Of equestrian figures,
representing distinguished persons Of different
periods, clothed in the iron armor Of the ages
in which they lived, from the period Of Edward
First to that of James III. a

have been very large, he has expe nded them
all upon the one great object OF his thoughts,
the substitution Of a. safer propelIing agent

guenI conversations, years ago, which we
held with him on the subject, kindliuR into
his own enthusiasm as we listened to his lu-

in his prophetic assurances of the results

was here shown he eaecutioner,s axe. and

was here shown the e1ecutioner's axe. and
the block upon which the victims were struck,
which still bears the marks Of the sharp blows,
which fell alike, at different periods, upon the
innocent and the guilty. This axe is said to
be the one, with which the unhappy Anne
Boleyn and the Earl Of Essex were executed ;
and if so, it was probably the axe which sever
ed the head of Algernon Sidney-a name dear
to Americans and republicans. In that part Of
the White Tower called 'EIizabeth's s Armory,
is the apartment where Sir Walter Raleigh suf-
fered his twelve years. imprisonment. Like
Sidney, though perhaps less pure and inhex-
ible in principle, he was one of the distin-
guished men of England !, and in consequence
of the naval enterprises he projected, his name
has become associated with that of America
In this prison Raleigh wrote many of his
works ; particularly his History ofthe World.
His wife, at her own earnest suggestion and
entreaty, was permitted TO share his imprison-
ment with him, and his youngest son was born
in the Tower. But neither the affection of his
wife, nor his great talents and distinguished
public services, nor his learning. nor his ad-
vanced age, saved him from a violent death. -
When his final hour came, the executioner
asked him which way he chose TO place him
self on the block. He replied, IL the heart be
right, it is no matter which way the head lies. >
| observed here the cloak on which General
Wolfe died in the bloody but victorious battle
which gave Qubec and the Canadas TO Eng
land.
In the Tower are kept the regalia or crown
jewels, which may be examined with pleasure,
not only on account of their richness, but be-
cause they are reconcilable with ideas Of kind
ness and peace; but, as a general thing, the
Tower can only be regarded, both in what it
has been and in what it now is, as great his
torcal monument of the art Of war and Of hu-
man blOodshed.
