POOR HUM ANITY.

More than half century ago, the fol-
lowing lines were found in the Royal
College OF Surgeons, London, beside a
skeleton. remarkable for its symmetry
of form. They were subsequently, pub
lished in the London Morning Chroni-
Gle. and vain effort made to ascertain
the author, even to offering reward Of
fifty guineas:
Behold this ruin Twas a skull
Once of ethereal spirit full,
This narrow cell Was liteS retreat;
This space was thought smySteriouS seat.
What beauteous visions filled this spot
With dreams Of pleasure longtorgot!
Not hope, not JOY, not love, not fear,
Have LETT one trace OF record here.
Beneath this mouldering canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye;
But start not at the dismal void
If social love that eye employed;
If with no lawless fire it cleaned
But through the dewS of kindness
beamed
That eve shall be forever bright,
When sun and stars are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern rung
The ready, swift and tunetul tongue
If falsehood's honey it distained,
And when it could not praise was
chained
Ifbold in virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke;
The silent tongue shall plead for thee
When time unveils eternity.
Say, did these fingers delve the mine,
Or with the enyied ruby shine
To hew the rocks, or wear the gem,
Can little now avail to them.
But if the page Of truth they sought,
Or comfort to the moumer brought,
These hands richer need shall claim
Than all that wait on wealth or fame.
Avails it whether bare or shod
These feet the path of duty trod ?
If from the bowers OF ease they fled,
To seek affections humble shed
If grandeurs guilty bribe they spurned,
And home to virtues cot returned
These feet with angels wings shall rise,
And tread the palace of the skies
