The DeathlessHess of Mind.

INC UEAtiittSSHSos vi 1sftAAs
By vIRGISiUs HUTeHEN.
The human mind is deathless as the power
The power that spake it into birth,
When stars were singing at the matIn hour
The birth-h of the hoary earth;
The old Earth's loftiest mountain chain,
That lifts its link above the vulture's hight,
Nav sink III avalanches to the plain,
And loom no more in grandeur to the sight;
But mind--corrnscant from God sublime
win see The tomb that swallows up the last OF Time.
Franklin lies beneath the Pennsylvania loan,
All. an Of him that time could bring 70 nought-
But levin that he brought from the thunders home,
Now bears for man the Geographic thoaghti
And Franklin lives IN the DIeath " Iis ehuniihs
fame, as us Hathe.
As glowing as the lightning's breath and brilliant
Shakespeare sleeps beside the Avon's silver wave;
But Desdemona weeps Ger swarth Othellos pain;
Still Romeo kneels at Juliet's grave,
And nightly 7 bait on the stage is slain;
And long as gurgling Ayon's tide shall now
Shakspeares name will live and glow.
Byron's ashes, with his mothers urned,
In Hucknalls willowy kirkyard lie;
And the fiery heart that in his bosom burned,
Methinks is throbbing in the world on high;
But Juans wandering yet outlawed,
And nroud Childe Harold walks the world abroad.
The Pyramids that rise above Egyptian sands,
Stupendous towering, mysterious and sublime;
The most majestic works OF human hands,
The stored wonders of the n illus CLINE,
Whose age no hoary records have defined,
Are monuments that tell the deathlessness of mind.
Proud land Of sesestrisl Thy splenders gone,
That which shone with oriental ray;
But thy massive ruins simmer IN the dawn,
Still beautiful in their slow decay:
The lizard sleeps upon the Tyrian monareh's bed
His palace echoes but the wandering Arabs tread
But ii thine ivied courts full Of the life that le-
gend, gives,
The mighty mind of those who built them lives
