At fourteen, the system gradually loses

Brainerd's Rock
BY CHARLES GATES.

In Berkshire. where two mountains lift
Their urns 10 cloud and sun,
Two streams-from each crystal gift :
Are blended into one.
And there the hill-slopcs yield them ul
Unto the lowands' care.
Knccling 70 drink parting cup,
And breathe parting prayer.
Close by giant boulder rcars
Its gray and furrowcd face,
a wandcrcr of primcval years
From some lost, rocky race.
-Four lives ago around its throne,
Ger many an odorous rood
Foot-decp in amber spine and cone,
\ hcmlock forest stood.
Around the rock. in jcwcled ring,
The Stockbridgc Indians built
Their fires. when impulses of spring
Were felt by spawn and nilt.
And David Braincrd thithcr came.
Through pathways dim and wild
TO preach the everlasting Name
Unto the forest child.
The pale Apostle Of the race
Whose Mfldncss could not part
Gods image from one sliadowy face,
Ills love from one dark heart.
And from the rock wien stars were pale
And fishing tolls were done,
lie told the sweet pathetic tale
OF Christ the Only Son.
Strange scenes! The fires, the faces rount
Upturncd the words TO hear.
The Savage shadows on the ground,
Each leaning OH SPEAR
The light in Braincrd'S lifted eye,
The rock hall-hid in shade,
ITypc Of the Rock of Ages high
On which his feet were staycd:-
The gloom within the hcmlock boughs
AS Of the endless night,
4 new light OH the savage brows
A. of eternal light.
Strange midnight scene! Perhaps it lie
Within the Book above,
And angels turn to il their eyes
That only turn TO love.
For by the brooks no hcmlocks now
Drop amber apincs and cones
Dust lies on the Apostles brow,
And oc'r the Indians bones.
Only the great rocks mighty will
Has conquered death and dust,
As if TO keep the memory still
OF BIaincrds toll and rrust.
