A visit to the Old Homestead.

BY O. H. wILMARTH.
Tel years had rolpd onward since had trleo ue'e
TO siile my tears aud breathe my last pray'r;
When the fires ofemo,ion Were melting my heart,
That | and my home were forever TO part.
Sad autumn winds sighed, and the misty skies
wep,,
And the hills and the wales on nights pillow slept;
When | stood once again before the old cot,
Tha, so long | had left, tho never forgot.
| ask'd not to enter, for strangers dwclt there,
And the sound of their voices my heart could not
bear;
But the tears of the sky then came ming''"s with
And through them bright scenes of my childhood
did shine.
Then | cried, where are they, my playmates SO
Bles, vision so charming, O, tell me, / pray!
When the wind swept The roof, and came wIsp'nng
10 me.
The mounds in the graveyard will show them to
thee!
Then | fastened TO greet my ~fav'rite old tree,
That had so often spread its broad wings over me;
But alas! where it stood the ground was all bare /;
Not a leaf, not even a root was left there.
Then methinks III embrace the old rock on the
hill
For that has stood ages, and must be there still
But alas =! the road-make,s that passed there one
day,
Built a fire in its bosom that blew it away!
Then | wept on the hill where NORWOOD did
grow,
To think they should treat my old f~avorites so;
While the clouds in the sky as they moved seemed
to say,
s'They'rc a type Of things earthly, we are passing
away"
And the leaves that pale autumn threw down at
my feet,
Fain would the same saddening story repeat;
Till the hills in their dimness, seemed the graves
Of the slain,
And the trees, the veild mourners weeping DER
them in vain.
Till the sky seemed the arch Of a ponderons
bell,
Ever rolling and tolling a merciess knell-
With years for its strokes, and days Tor vihia'
tons;
The latter for Man, the former for Nations!
Then my pray'r was sincere, that my life's set
ting sun,
Might cast its last ray on a journey well run,
That its beams may arise to shine on a world,
Where the banner of death was never unfur'ed
