To MIR. Mills,


iter contemplating his Equestrian Stafue Of Jackson
Most nobly done! Artist, thy work exceeds
My feeble words-and let them praise who can;
ThOu's made the man immortal rs his deeds,
And made thy work immortal as the man!
The hero lives again-the grave is Spoiled
Lives in the tracery that thy hand hath ght-
Lives in the glorious triumph of thy thought
Oh. not in vain through weary years thOu's toiled
With thy lone burden up the steep of famei
The future shall bind up its wreath for thee
The greenest buds of immortality
That crown the gifted shall adorn thy name.
Thine is a hallowed mission Oh toll on
Patient and earnest! Life hath labor still
For minds of lofty purpose and strong will,
Which bow like thine but unto Heaven alone.
Still "follow Nature!' Pause to wet thy lip
At no ART-STREAM! She reveals to thee
THE NEW, all radent with divinity,
And urges thee unto her fellowship;
And foremost mid the gifted thou dost stand
To rear our country's alt RS and defend
Her name and praise still generous to lend
To struggling genius the warm, helping hand.
But life is not perfected without trial;
And if upon thy brow drops showered,
Bow to the baptism! They whom Heaven has lowered
Should shrink not from the lot of self-denial!
For need gives strength to purpose, and the aim
From a dull thoug hit to sudden action springs
Bursts its chyrsalis and unfurs its wings,
And the bright herald of its path is FAME!
