POETRY.
For the Register.
The Poet.

Ine fO6b.
Earth was fading from his vision,
Death had clnspsd his willing hand.
As he passed the haunted portals
OF the unknown silent land.
White winged Peace within his chamber
Waved her pinions oer the gloom,
And the angels softly whispered
In the dimly-lighted room.
Then the poor who truly loved him
Laid him to his long. long rest,
With his pale hands meekly folded
Ger the Tyre upon his breast.
Not alone he passed Deaths River.
Lswly ones long gone before,
All the children, too, who loved him,
Wait his coming on the shore.
II was for them he lived and labored.
Not the world his praise confessd,
But the poor and suf'ring blest him.
And he loved their praises best.
So the angels came 10 crown him
While their blessings fell like rain,
And at last the post-pilgrim
Knew he had not lived in vain.
