Aspirations.

Let others sing Of life's young Spring,
When the path is strewn with roses;
Let others rave of the drcamlcss grave,
Where the wcaried soul reposcs;
Let others bless home happiness,
With kindred ard friends surrounding;
Let others pratc of rowing mate,
And the comforts of life Astounding.
If there souls can enjoy each sensclcss toy,
Let them stick to the ith that bore them;
For the dreams Of strife far more glorious
than life
Can never, all never come DER them
But mine be the song of a spirit too strong
To endure sach joys and to love them:
Yon heavens so bright are but low in my
sight,
For my spirit can soar far above them.
Then oh let me sail in the maddcning gale,
No hand but my own to guidelmcjI
Let inc wander through life in the billowy
strife
No companion, no kindred beside me.
For mine is a soul that can brook ne control,
But lofty, aspiring TO fame:
And when pleasures have faded alone and
unailcd,
I'll strive but to win me name
That name shall stand high as the stars in
the sky,
With nothing to blot or dcfacc It,
On history's page, for many an age,
Till some lofticr hand shall erase It.
The billows that roar on the scrf beaten
shore,
But re-echo my hearts aspirations:
Though the darkness of night should en-
cumbcr my sight
Still Il strive for Il lofticr station.
Then let mc-alonc-with no hand but my
own,
Carve my path through the mountains
that bound it,
Till the halo of fame shall cncirclc my name,
Aud the lighthings of glory flash round it
Fierce war will wage with the tcmpcst's
wild rage,
And oft as its billows dash o'cr me,
will rise on my way through the soul-blnd-
ing spray,
With my eye on the future before me.
Like meteor spark when the heavens are
dark,
Hopes rainbow shall cheer me forever;
20 power, meath the sun, when my course
is begun,
Shall my soul from its lofty aim sever.
ind when stern death with its soul-chillng |
breath,
In its damp icy letters shall bind me,
will siadiy leave earth for nobler bcrth
For my name shall be left here behind me |

Burial-Places In Germanv

The affcctionateness of the German
heart discloscs itself impressiyely in,
their fond memory Of the dead. The
funeral services are generally held
early in the morning, and the coffin,
covered with wreaths Of fresh flowers
is borne quietly to its resting place.

as they variously name it, when not in
the immediate vicinity of church, is
on the borders of the town. It is sim
pie and tasteful, arranged without pro
fuse ornament Os abodes of tho dead
ought to be, and generally surround
ed by cloisters which contain tombs.
One often sees those graves which are
quite old covered with boquets of fresh
flowers bctokening that the dead are
not forgotten. Indeed, | believe
that on the anniversary of the death
of friend, such little emblems Of sad
love, are always left upon the grave,
until those who know him have pass
ed away. The grave-stones are com
monty in the form ot cross, and tho
God's-acre becomes filed with crosses.
