The Future Life.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

g=s5= BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
How shall know thee in the sphere which keeps
The disembodied spirits of the dead;
When all of thee that time could wther, sleeps
And perishes among the dust we tread?
For shall feel the sting of ceaseless pain
If there meet thy gentle spirit not,
Nor hear the voice love, nor read again
In thy serenest eyes the tender thought.
Wit not thy own weak heart demand me there2
That heart whose fondest throbs to me were given
My name on earth was ever in thy prayer,
Shall il be balished from my tongue in heaven?
In meadows famed by heavens life breathing wind,
In the resplendence of that glorious sphere,
And larger movements Of The unfettered mind,
Wit thou forget the love that Joined l,s here?
The love that lived through all the stormy past,
5s And laeekiy with my harsher nature bore,
And deeper grew and tenderer to the last,
Shall it expire with life, and be no mere?
Ahappier lot than mine, and larger light,
Await thee there, for thou hast bowed thy will
lncheerful homage to the rules Of right;
And lowest all, and renderest good for i'll.
For me, the serdid cares in which dwell 81
Shrink and constlnls the heart, heat the scroll
And wrath has left its scar-that fire of hell
Has left its frightfI scar upon my soul.
Yet, though thou wear'st the glory of the sky,
Wilt tiou keep the same beloved name,
The same fair, thoughtful brow, and gentle eye,
I0yler in heavens sweet climate, yet the same!
Shalt thou not teach me, in the calmer home,
Il The wisdom that learned SO i'll in this
The wisdom which is love--tiH become
Thy tit companion in that land OF bliss?

WRITTEN FOR THE THIBoDAE1 Mr6s1yA By NARY.
Oh, when all are wrapp asleep - I.
In the dewy house of Seen,
When The stars their yigils keep
On the battlements OF heaven;
when the moon comes out in gladness,
With her smiling train so fair,
And the night-birds note OF sadness
1rembIes sweetly On the air -
How / love, by none ATTENDED,
To look out upon the scene
Where light and shade are blended,
And all nature smiles serene!
Oh talk not Of the glory
OF the rising sun so bright,
As he gilds the mountains hOary
With his fiery flood Of light;
For love the milder heaming -
zs OF the moon and stars 20 gay,
Far better than the cleaning
OF the blazing King Of Day"
