HIGHER.

Higher! is word of noble meaning, the
inspiration of all great deeds-,he sympa-
theiic chain that leads link by link the im.
FASHIONED soul to its zenith of glory, and
still holds its mysterious object standing
and gl,tering among the stars.
Higher ll<ps the infant that clasps its
parents knees, and makes its feeble essay
to rise from the foor-it is the first aspira.
ton Of childhood to burst the narrow con-
fines of the cradle, in which its sweet mo.
meats have been passed forever.
Higher! laughs the proud school-boy at
his swing or as he climbs the tallest tree
of the forest, that he may look downon his,
less adventurous companions with a flush
Of exultation, ANA abroad over the fields of
his native village. He never saw so exc
tended prospect before.
Higher earnestly breathes the student
of philosophy and nature; he has host Of
rivals, but he must eclipse them all. The
midni .ht oil in his lamp burns dim, but he
finds light and knowledge in the lamps Of
heaven, and his soul is never weary when
the last Of them is hid behind the curtains
of the morning. s
And higher his voice ,hunders forth.
when the dignitysof manhood has invested
his form, and the multitude is listening
with delight, to his oracles burning with
eloqaence and ringing like true steel In the
cause of freedom and right. And when
time has changed his locks to silver, and
when the worldwide renown is his; when
the maiden gathering flowers by the road.
side. and the boy in the field, bow in rever-
ence as he passes; and the peasant looks to
him with honor-can he breathe forth from
his heart the fond wish of the pastl M
Higher. yet! he hath reached the apex
of earthly honor, yet his spirit burns as
warm as in youth, though with steadiet
and paler light, and i, would borrow wings
and soar up TO high heaven, leaving his
tenement to moulder among the laurels he
has wound around it, for never ending glory
to be reached only in the presence Of the
Most High!
