Across tho River,

Across tho River.
When for me the silent oar, \
Parts the Silent River, R
And l stand upon the shore
OF the strange Forever, 81
Shall l miss the loved and known? s.
Shall l vainly seek mine own?
Mid the crowd that come to n.co.
Spirits sin-forgiven-
Listening to their echoing feet
Down the streets of Heaven
Shall know footstep near
That listen, wait for, horc?
Then will once approach the brink
with hand extended,
One whose thoughts loved to think
Ere the veil was rcnded,
Saying, "Welcomel we have died,
And again are side by side"
Saying 81 will go with thee,
That thou be not lonely,
To yon hills OF mystery;
have waited only
Until now, to climb with thee
Yonder hills of mystery"
Can the bonds that make us here
Know ourselves immortal,
Drop away, like foliage scar,
At life's inner portal?
What is holiest below
Must forever live and glow.
I shall love the angels well,
After have found them
In the mansions where they dwell,
With the glory round them.
But at first, without surprise,
Let me- look in human eyes.
Step by step our feet must 60
Up the holy mountain;
Drop by drop within us flow
Life's unfailing fountain.
Angels sing with crowns that burn:
We shall have song to learn.
he who on our earthly path
Bids us help each other
Who his Well-Beloved hath
Made our Elder Brother
Will but clasp the chain OF love
Closer when we meet above.
Therefore dread I not to go
Ger the Silent River.
Death, thy fastening oar know;
Bear me, thou Life-giver,
Through the waters, to the shore,
Where mine own have gone before,

The Old Lion.

There lived lion in The days ofold,
$50 in the fable we are plainly told,)
Who was the forest king, and feared by all
The other beasts both great and small
But finally this king Of beasts grew old,
His frame was feeble and his step hess bold;
A wreck was he, all powerless and sick,
Then all began his majesty to kick.
These gross indignities the lion bore
With patience, till his very bones Were sore;
AT length an ass, most cautiously and slow,
Backwards advanced, and dealt curious blow.
The poor old lion then exclaimed, ''alas
All can bear, but kicking from an ass y
Poor hapless Georgia may thy rhyming scion
Compare thee to the sick and aged lion
o. many ills hast thou already borne,
Robbed ofthy sacred rights, despised, fororn:
Thy present grief all former grief surpasses-
Now thou art being kicked by senseless asses!
