FATE.

There is a phantom ever haunting
All the living things of earth!
Like sceptre dark, attending
Every mortal from his birth;
And it's likeness is demons,
Horrible with hooking mirth.
And it never sleeps nor tires,
Never turns away its eye,
Which is always fixed and greedy,
Gazing at us ardently;
When at night we sleep it watcheth
At our bedside standing by.
Low it croucheth by the cradle,
Where the newborn infant sleeps,
Watching with the watchful mother,
When it smiles and when it weeps;
Unseen, silent, absent never,
Round the dreaming babe it creeps.
Thus from LIES first faint beginning,
I'LL the dreaded close appears,
Does this still unknown companion
Dog us through our flying years!
Audit mocks our silly pleasures,
As it mocks our useless tears.
But unconscious as we travel,
Lo! our day has passed its noon!
And we shudder at the sinking
Of our onward sun so so0n,
As we hasten to that region
Which is lighted by no moon.
Whittier pleads the weary traveller,
Whittier? whittier do we fly?
But the night now DER him closing,
Shuts the scene from human eye;
Clear is heard the faint voice pleading
Never, never the reply!
Few have ever seen this spectre,
Caught it's desolating eye;
When the dews of life's fresh morning
Stir the heart with feelings high,
And the evening and the darkness
Seemeth never to be nigh.
But when love, nor fame, nor pleasure,
Warm the heart to dim the sight;
When at last the mental vision
Pierceth through the mental night,
Then we know the dark attendant
OF our feeble, failing flight.
And we feel his icy fingers
Tracing wrinkles on the brow,
While his breath, so cold and deadly,
Turns the raven hair to snow,
As we hobble on oY journey,
With q stumbling step and slow.
Just behind ms all 1T moveth,.
With still and stealthy tread, =
As it followed unseen millions,
Who once lived like us, tits said;
AS we journey to that country
Whittier they have darkly fled.
On the footsteps of each mortal,
From his first to latest date;
When he joys, or loves, or sorrows,
Wretched, happy, humble, great,
Mocking glides this solemn phantom!
Child of clay, it is thy FATE!
Like the helpless clouds of heaven,
Borne upon the unseen wind,
Leaving naught that telleth after,
Token, sign or trace behind;
Swiftly thus on Fate's broad pinions
Fly the millions of mankind.

poetieal,
THE ANS " E R.

THE ANS WEIR.
Spare me, dread angel of reproof,
And let the sunshine weave to-day
its gold threads in the warp and woot
Of life SO poor and gray.
Snare me while; the flesh is weak;
These lingering feet that fain would stray
Among the flowers, shall some day seek
The straight and narrow way.
Take off thy ever watchful eye,
The awe of thy rebuking frown;
The dullest slave at times must sigh
To fling his burdens down.
To drop his galley's straining oar,
And press, in summer warmth and calm,
The lap of some enchanted shore
Of blossoms and of balm.
Grudge not my life it's hour of bloom,
NV heart its taste of long desire;
This day be mine; be those to como
As duty shall require.
The deep voice answered to my own,
Shifting my selfish prayers away;
Tomorrow is with God alone,
And man hath but to-day
"Say not thy fond, vain heart within.
The Fathers arms shall still be wide
When from these pleasant ways OF SIN
Thou turn'st at eyentide.'
"Cast thyself down." the tempter saith,
t"And angels shall thy feet upbear;"
He bids thee make life of faith,
A blasphemy of prayer.
Though God be good, and free be Heaven,
No force divine can love compel;
And, though the song of sins forgiven
May sound through lowest hell.
The sweet persuasion of His voice
Respects thy sanctity o. will;
He giveth day thou hast thou choice
To walk in darkness still
As one who, turning from the light,
Watches his own gray shadow fall,
Doubling upon his path Of hight,
If there be day at all |!
No word of doom may shut thee out,
No wind of wrath may downward whirl,
No swords of fire keep watch about
The open gates of pearl.
A tenderer light than moon or sun,
Than song of earth sweeter hymn,
May shine and sound forever on,
And then be deaf and dim.
Forever ronnd the Mercy seat
The guiding lights of Love shall burn !;
But what, if habit bound, thy feet
Shall lack the will to turn2
What if, thine eye refuse to see,
Thine ear of Heavens free welcome fall
And thou a. willing captive be,
Thyself thy own dark jail9
o, doom beyond the saddest guess,
As the long years of God unroll,
To make they dreary selishness
The prison Of a soul!
To doubt the love that fain would break
The letters from thy self-bound limb;
And dream that God can thee forsake
As thou forsakest him!

CoLoSEL GRISHAS There is a MYTHICAL
weirdness in tnesthenght Of THAT visit through
The State 10 East Tennessee and old home.-
Like one ofihoSe iieetiRg laacies IN ihe mind
that often steals upon our llesnre aud carries
us on iaio the land Of dreams, where the
tinted prospect with evcr-changing events
and soeneries is passing in perspective before
The mind, fxedly enchanting attention, while
yet We know IL all a dream.
So, the long train Of the steam horse in
which we were snugly %enscQnced, SKINNED
along like the whipperwill in the dnsky eve,
eOiling in It's meanderings, now through the
plains, mid cultivated fields studded with the
rich fruits OF the sweat Of the brow, then
gliding smeolhiy into gorees ahd deiles OF
lofty TaOantains, now whirling over gIddy
heights, beneath which the mountain torrent
rushed " ildly on, then, bat like, flying through
a darkened tunnel, never firing. Its very
I. consistency becomes mohotonous. +
This is a fast age. One soon becomes nc.
customed to these things in travelling now
a-dNys. Butthir,y years ago the lren horse
was scarcely knewR along these valleys
Then | knew the countgy well. Many a time
| would have passed this way-now thiuk ]

ghows while gazing ont as though ruhle was
being made upou the field Of inemory. No
landmark 10 be seen, no hill, no house, no
tree, nc crook can | remember, except that
faint emotion underlined.
LapFed up like \ ship-wrecked mariner by
the Arabian blaekumo0re on Aries sandy
plains, tor thirty years enchanted, and then
let loose, come bounding home TO see--to see
a strange outline Of ilickering memory
Strange woodlands, hills aud still more
