the most eminent European critics TO be the
finest production Of the same length in our
anguagc.
From tie quickcncd womb Of the primal gloom
The sun rolled black and bare,
Till I.u owe him vest for his Ethiop breast
OF tht thread of my golden hair;
md v-iicn the broad tent Of the ornament
Arose ON it, airy spar-.

And spaugled il round with stars.
] painted the flowers Of the Eden bowers
And their leaves Of living green,
Aud mine were the dyes ia the siness eyes
OF Edens virgin queen;
And when the fcnds art la the tru~tful heart
Had fastened its mortal spell,
iH the silvery sphere Of the iirst-born tear
To the trembling earth fell.
When the waves that burst o er a world accurscd
Their work Of wrath had sped
And the Ark's lone few, tried and true,
Came forth among the dead
With tie wOndrDus CLEANS Of my bridal beams
hSde their terror cease
As wrote on the roll Of the storms dark scroll
Gods covenant Of peace.
Like a pail AT rest on a Scnselc-- breast
Nights funeral shadows slept
Where shepherd swains ON the Bethlehem plains
Their lonely vigiis kept;
MScu flashed on their sight the heralds bright
Of Heavens redecming plan,
s. they chsUted the morn of a Savior born
Joy joy - the outCast man.
Equal favor / shoN LOFTY and low,
On the just and unjust descend;
Zen the blind whose vain spheres rolls la dark
ness and tears,
Feel my smile the best smile Of a friend;
Nay, the flower Of the waste by my love l. em-

As the rose in the garden Of kings;
Al the chrysal- bier Of the worm appear,
Ana 10! the gay bu.tsrfiy wings.

LOVES ATTRIBUTES.

Love was primeval
Within the breasts of infiniies'
Has been all time and to the race
OF man it, glowing germ conslghen'
Has burned and shedding radiance

Love is reflective,
And In the depths of other hearts
Love starts TO see its image fair
A.. peering i'm the crystal mere,
The wild fawn meets it, pictured torih'
but trembling timid at the sight,
Half turns TO 20, bat fingers near.
Love s refining,
A. moonlight on the desert drear
Reveals some beauty that without
Its magic would remain unseen,

Will wake, perchance, some sleeping GOO"

Love is eternal,

Are perfect, only touched by love.

In the announcement OF his death The Sun

integrity, true and faithful in all things.
During 80 years that we have been contin-

his friends, or the community in which he

United States at an early age, and no native
Of this land was ever more thoroughly an
