the high civilization and science Of the 10Th

bind them together in indissoluble bonds

An avalanche of pleasure we aseribe to him,
And here. though distant from our rural "vils,
We vote him bliss, perennial as the rills,
That leaps from Old Virginia's mountain slopes
To lave the soil and fruchfy mans hopes.
Where'e he goes-East, West, or turning back
May no ''vile abstraction" switch him off tn
track,
But through his life, in every longitude and cline
May he ever make the best of " running time.
