BY .he blood of all these murdered men,
This curse can never be.

To aid your sinking cause.
And substitute your vulgar jokes
For liberty aud laws

BY The green unnumbered graves,
W'Il perish on ten thousand fislds
Ere we become your slaves.

Eg Literary waits. How many there
are of then floating over the sea of lite
nature /! Noble truths uttered when, and
by whom, no one knows, but truths that
have deeply impressed many minds, and
affected many hearts, and ennobled many
lives, and fixed in fru stability to right
the tempted and faltering. In our every
day reading, in newsps pers and magazines.
we find prose and poetic gems, the au-
thorship Of which is unknown-many of
them written, perhaps. long ago, and the
author known then, but the sentiment was
imbaed with higher Immortality than
he who uttered it, and SO outlived him;
and others have been taken from q mass
of platitudes and rubbish, and it is we'll
that the coarse mine from which they
were taken is unknown; and still others
have emanated from minds Of delicate
and sensitive make-who, shrinking from
notice and fearful ridicuie, did not con-
meet their names with their productions.
and now they are undiseoverable.
And perhaps it is not important that
the authors should be known. 10 the
vast aggregation Of individuals composing
tho successive generations Of human life,
the individual may be nothing, and truth,
all; and yet the instructive feeling which
We all have Of compensation in the condi-
tons Of mans life, makes us averse to re-
ceiving this philosophy. If man says q
word or does an act which is of adyant-
age to his fellows, let him have the credi.
OF it. II certainly is not unimportant
whether one is cipher or q significant
figure in life.
