NEWS FROM IRELAND
The Place 10 Die.

How little rccks it where men die
When once the moments past
In which the dim and glazing eye
Has looked on earth it's last.
Whether beneath the sculp,urcd ura
The coiiinei form shall rest
Or in lis nakcdness return
Back 10 lis mother ) breast
Death is a common friend or foe
AS different men may hold,
And nj its summons each must go,
The timid and the bold:
But when the spirit, free and warm
Deserts ii. as it must,
What matter where the life,cs5 form
Dissolvcs again to dust.
The soldier falls mid corpses piled
Upon the battle plain,
Where rcinless war steads gallon wild
Above the CORY slain.
But though his corpse be grim to see,
Hcoflrampled on the sod.
What recks it whore the spirit free
Has SCARED aloft to God.
The towards dying eye may close
Upon his downy bed,
And softest hands his limbs compos,.
Or garments DER him spread.
But We who shun the bloody fray,
WHARF foil ho
Go strip his coftin-lid away
And see him in the grave,
'Twere sweet indeed to close our eyes
With those we cherish near,
And waited upwards by their signs
Scar to some calmer sphere;
But whether on the scaaold high
Or in the battles van.
The fittest place for man to die
Is where he dies for man.
