AS strive with nrave endeavor?
VIII they tighten the links oil friendships chain

With u shout OF heartfelt defiance,
And thank the misfortune that makes more
strong
The bond Of our blessed alliance.
When Sorrow has fatied my bIushiug cheek,
And Time left its pcncilcd traces F

Still claim in my Iienrt their places?
W hen silver Is threading my nut brown hair,
And the freshness Of youth has LEFT me,
When the Autumn OF Life has with merciless
hand,
OF sunshine and blossoms bcreft me,
Will they love me then for myself alone,
For the beauty that never can perishp
Then welcome the death of the Summer flowers
lmmortelles alone cherish.
In the darkening way, and the gathering gloom,
And the trial sharp, glory
In the pallid cheek, and the eare-lincl brow,
And the sun-lit locks grown hoary,-
IN the speeding OF riches that took item WINGS
In sorrow, and pain and LOSSES
Since they are but furnace fires that try
My gold from its diRrming dresses.
Oh! the storm may sweep in its widest wrath,
And the sky grow black above me-

If the friends stand iirm that love me.

The papers last week recorded the
death Of VIM. II. McGuilsy, ID. D.,
LII. D., Professor In the University
Of Virginia. He was one Of the most
thoroughly cducated men Of the
country, aud an ablc minister Of the
Gospel in connection with the Pros-
byterian church. BY birth he was .
Pcnnsylyanian, and until eighteen
years old was almost entirely unlet-
tered, and acquainted only with the
fortunes aud fatcs OF poor boy
whose days were spent in labor on .
small farm. AT eighteen, IL 10 said,
he commenced TO study Latin, pre-.
pairing his lessons 40 we'll as he could
consistently with his farm dutioS
during the day: end Ut night walking
several miles In order to recite and
receive instruction. From this time
onward he seems never TO have lost
an opportunity TO acquire useiul
knowledge. BY industry, economy
and perseverance he managed to Sc
euro for himself collegiate educa-.
tion, and at the age of twenty-five
graduated with distinguished honor
at washington College, Pcnsnylva-
MIA. IIe had gained such reputa-
ton Tor scholarship, that Immediate
'ly after graduation he was elected
Professor of Ancient Languages In
Miami University, located ut Oxfrod
Ohio. There shc became eminent,
was ordained minister, and soon
after was appointed Professor Of
Moral Philosophy in the same COL,
lcge. Upon tho. reorganization Of
Cincinnati College, he was elected it's
President, and afterwards elected
President of Ohio University, which
latter position lie resigned to
accept the professorship of Moral
Philosophy and Political Economy in
the University of Virginia, where he
remained up 10 the time Of his death.
