Henry Clay. by Geo. ID. Prentice.

T
With voice and mien of steril control
He stood among the great and proud
And words of fire burst from his soul
Like lightnings from the tempest cloud;
His HIGH and deathless themes were crowned
With glory of his genius born. f.
And gloom and ruin darkly frowned
Where fell his bolts of wrath and scorn
But he is gone-the free, the bold
The champion Of his country right;
His burning eye is dim and cold,
And mute his voice Of conscious might
Oh no! not mute-his stirring call
Can startle tyrants on their thrones,
And on the heart of nations fall
More awful than his living tones.
The impulse that his spirit gave
To human thoughts wild, stormy sea,
Will heave and thrill through every wave
Of that great deep eternity.
And all the circling atmosphere,
With which is blent his breath OF flame,
Will sound, with cadence deep and clear,
In storm and calm, his voice and name
His words that, like bugle blast,
Erst rang along the Grecian shore.
And Ger the hoary Andes passed,
VIII still ring on forever more.
Great Liberty will catch the sounds,
And start to newer, brighter life,
And summon from earth utmost bound
Her children to the glorious strife,
Unnumbered pilgrims DER the wave,
In the far ages yet to be
Will come to kneel beside his grave,
And hail him prophet of the free,
It's holier ground, that lowly bed
In which his mouldering form ID laid,
Than fields where Liberty has bled
Beside her broken battle blade.
Who now, In dangers fearful hour,
When all around is wild and dark,
Shall guard with voice and arm ofpower,
Our freedoms consecrated ark2
With stricken hearts, Oh, God, to thee,
Beneath whose feet the stars are dust,
We bow. and ask that thou will be
Through every i'll our stay and trust.

THE YANKEE AND TAE QUAKER.-
Some years ago young New England
er found himselfin the back of Pennsyl-
vania, ashore as to the means of living.
In this strait he applied to wealthy
Quaker in the neighborhood for help.
s'I will furnish with work, and will
pay thee for it, friend" said the Quaker,
'<but it is not my custom to give aims to
one able to labor, like thee
"Well, that's all Il want, u said the Yam
kec, "of course l am willing to work. u
"What can thee do, friend ?" ii
Il will do anything to get little
money to help me out of my difficulty
"Well, there is an axe. Thee may
pound on the log with the head of the
axe, and if thee is dilligent and faithful
will pay thee dollar day"
"Agreed! I'd as soon do that as mos
anything else -aH 20
And so the youth went to work and
pounded Justify with the head of the axe
upon the log -rz tFs rt
After pause he stopped to get breath
then he began again. -.-...
But after half an hour he stopped
threw down the axe impatiently, saying
"Ill be hanged if I'll cut wood with
out seeing the chips fy!'

was travelling eastward on business, and
having occasion to embark on Lake On
tario, went on board, paid his passage,
requesting the clerk to give him state
room. This was done and he received a
key, and was pointed to a door, at lit
tie distance marked with the letter B.
He Immediately started for it, and hav-
ing arrived m the neighborhood, mis-
took the room, and bolted into that of a
neighbor, where he discovered lady in
the midst of an interesting toilet. The
lady was taken by surprise and screamed,
upon which the gentleman backed out.
The lady called out with all her mi ght
