I long to lay this | painful | head

And aching | heart be- | neath the | soil, |
To slumber in that | dreamless | bed

For misery | stole me at my birth,

And cast me | helpless

on the wild:771

On thy dear | lap | these | limbs re- | clined, |
Shall gently moulder into thee;
Nor leave one | wretched | trace be- | hind, 1

My pulse,

Hark! a strange | sound af- | frights mine | ear;
my | brain | runs | wild, |I| rave: 1|
Ah! who art | thou whose | voice I hear?/771
I am the Grave! |

1

The Grave,(that | never | spake be- | fore,)|| Hath | found at | length a | tongue |to| chide:1 I will speak no | more: |

O listen!

Be | silent, | Pride. |1971

Art thou a | wretch, of | hope

for- | lorn, |

The victim of con- | suming | care? 1771

Is thy distracted | conscience | torn |

By fell de- | spair? 1

Wring with re- | morse thy | guilty | breast? |
And ghosts of unfor- | given | crimes |
Murder thy rest? | 77711

Lash'd by the furies of the | mind, ◄|

From wrath and | vengeance

would'st thou | flee?

Ah! | think not, | hope not, | fool, to find 1
A friend in me.

Be-yond the power of | tongue to tell,1
By the dread | secrets of my | womb,

By death | and | hell! |

I charge thee | live! | re- | pent and pray; 11
In dust thine | infamy de- | plore; |

There yet is mercy;

|

go thy | way, |

Con- fess thy | folly, || kiss the | rod, |

And in thy | chastening | sorrows | see |

The hand of | God. 191991

Now | traveller in the | vale of | tears!
To realms of ever- | lasting | light,
Through time's | dark | wilderness of | years,

There is

A rest

Pursue thy | flight. 1771

a calm for | those who | weep, 1 for | weary | pilgrims | found; |

And while the | mouldering | ashes | sleep

The soul,

Low in the ground; |

(of | origin | di- | vine,|

God's glorious | image), || freed from | clay,

In heaven's

e-ternal | sphere shall | shine,

A star of day!|71771
|

The sun is but a | spark of | fire, 1|17|

The soul, im- | mortal as its | sire,

Shall never die. |77|71

MONTGOMERY.

HARVARD COLLEGE.

WITH-IN a short | distance of this | city | stands an institution of learning, which was

one of the earliest

country,

the |

| cares of the early | forefathers of the conscientious | puritans. || Favored | child of an age | of trial and struggle, | carefully | nursed through a | period of hardship and anx- | iety, en- | dowed at that time | by the ob- lations of | men like | Harvard, │sus- | tained from its first foun- | dation

|

arm of the commonwealth,

of mu- | nificent be- quests,

by the pa- | ternal |

by a constant suc- | cession

and by the prayers of | all

good men, the | Uni- | versity at | Cambridge | now in- | vites our | homage as the ❘ most | ancient,

sessing the | oldest |

the

most interesting, and the most im- | portant | seat of | learning in the | land; posand most valuable | library; one of the largest | | 71 | mu- | seums of mine- | ralogy and natural | history; a

| school of | law, which | annually re- | ceives into its | bosom | more than one | hundred and fifty | sons from | all | parts of the Union, | where they | listen to in- | struction from pro- | fessors whose | names have be- | come │a- | mong the most valuable pos- sessions of the | land; school of di- | vinity,

7a |

the muse of | true | learning and |

piety; one of the largest and most | flourishing | schools of | medicine in the | country; be- | sides | there is a | general | body of | teachers, | twenty-seven in | number, | many of whose | names | help to keep the name of the | country re-spectable in | every | part of the | globe where | science, learning, and taste are | cherished; the whole pre- | sided over at ❘ this | moment by a | gentleman | early distinguished in | public | life by his un- | conquerable energies and his masterly | eloquence;

later period, by the | unsur- | passed ability

which he ad- ministered the af- | fairs of our | city,

at a with |

| now in a green old | age, | full of | years and | honors, | pre- | paring to | lay | down his | present | high | trust.* |

and

Such is Harvard Uni- | versity; and as one of the | humblest of her | children, | happy in the | recol- | lection of a youth | nurtured in her | classic re- | treats, |I| cannot allude to her with- | out an ex- | pression of | filial affection and re- | spect. 791

It appears, from the | last re- | port of the | Treasurer, that the whole a- | vailable | property of the | University, the various ac- | cumu- | lations of | more than | two centuries of gene- | rosity, a- | mounts to seven | hundred and | three | thousand | one | hundred and seventyfive dollars. 771
