WIt might have puzzled one of our
Western bards to have given a more HrGnrA-
LrTIN description Of our Eagle than the fol-
lowing by Fictoria's POET LAUREATE, Mr..
Alfred Tennyson, who thus apostrophises
that noble bird -
GO He clasps tho crag with crooked hands
Close to the sun, in lonely lands,
Hinged with the azure world he stands.
The wrinkle sea beneath him crawls
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like thunder bolt he falls.''
Mr.. Whillikins, another poet, it seems
not having the fear of royal poets before his
eyes, and having, withal, some pow ers of
description, draws the following picture of an
eagle as presented to his mind -
With hooked claws he clasps We fence,
Close by ye henroost; gazing thence
He spies mice, what's got no sense.
Ye mice beneath can't well see him;
lie watcheth from his lofty limb,
Then jumpcth down and grabbcth him."
But Whillikins fearing, we suppose,
that his reputation might suffer by thus
claslng with the distinguished Poet to the
Gu zen, adds to his effusion the following note:
Z. S.-The difference, though only faint,
'Twixt that and this now will paint ;
His eagles wild, my eagle amt.

Now in thy desolation, thou hast mine
If friendships prayer could have awaited for thee
Thou Ger hadst heard this song of sympathy.

How dark the earh-.the sky that archet er thee;

The anguish throbbngs Of II heart bcrcrt--
The secret tears the deep and hidden pain,
For joys departed, ne n to come again
You'll miss the gentle hand upon your brow,
The loving smile, the oft.repcacd vow. thee.

You'll miss the sweet low, vcspcr vow = l love

And through thy soul the thought will surge and
And the feeling echo back 'sAlonc Alone!''

For Jesus wcpt' above the dead and dear;
Ills meet that heart-irops minglc with the clay
That rounds above our loved ones passed away,
But let the memory of this truth dispel
pcsparing dreams :. He docth all things WELL
My friend, it was no last farewell you said
No, mourncr no-your Mary is not dead,
Nor sleeping. now, down in the valley. where
They laid her spirits shcll-she is not there.
Where is thy loved one, do her lire.deeds sly:
" Far in the realms of never fading day"
Then look, with calm and hopeful heart, above you
That you've one more around Gods throne to love
you
For. friend of other years. the past is vain,
And hearts may suffer, and be glad again.
