MORTALITY.

O wl-y phoild the spiiifc of mortilbe proud? L : k-e n, fast-uittin<? meteor, a fa>t flying clout, A Hash of t^c liclitning, a break o-f tho ave113 passes from life to his rest in the grave. The lei yes of the o \\ an * th -- willows shall fade, Be scattered around, nn.l togelher laid : Aud the young an. l the old, and the low and the high, Shall moulder to dust, and togo'-hcr shall he, TThJohi'd that a mother allended and loved, Thpmolh.u-ih.it infant's affection that proved, Th 2 liuVhand that mother mil in r antthat blest, Each —all are aw ay to their dwelling of rest. The maid on whose check, on whose brow, in whose eye, Shone beauty and pleasure— her triumphs are And the memory of those thai loved her and piaiscd Are alike from the minds of the living erased. ,<• The hand of/the King that the sceptre hath borne,The brow of the priest that the mitre hath worn, The eye of the s«ge, and the hearty of the brave, Are hidden and lost in the depths-of the grave. The peasant whose lot. was I o <=ow and to reap, The lwrdaivon who climod with their goats to the s'cep, The begg.ir that wandered in seanh of his bread, Have faded away like the grass that we tread. The aiint that enjoyed the communion of heavtTi. The sinner tliafc daivd" to remain unforgiven, The wise an 1 the foolish, the amity and just, Have quietly mingled their bones in the dust. So the multitude goes like the flower and tha weed, That wither away to lot others succeed ; So the multitude comes— even those v*-e beholdTo repeat the same tale that hath of fcen been toU, For we are the same things that our fathers hare been, "We see the same sights that our fathers have se>-n, "We drink the same stream, and we feel the same sun. And we ran the same course that our £ .thers have run. The thoughts we are thinking are fathers would think, Prom the death we are shrinking they, too, would shrink : To the life we are clinging to they, too, would cling — 3Dufc it speeds from the the earth like a bird on the wing. They loved — but the *tory we cannot unfold ; They seoi ned — but the heart of the haughty is cold : They grieved — but no wail from their -slumbers may come ; They joyed— bub the voice of their gladness is dumb. They died — ay, they died ! and we things that are now, "VPho -walk on the turf that lies over their brow, "Whomak^in the ilwe'lings .1 uan°ient abo'le, jMeei the chtingcs tlity met on their pilgx image road. Tea, hope and dc?pon ""encc, and pleasuie and pain ; Are mingled together like sunshine and rain ; And the smile and the fear, and the song and the diige, Still follow each other like surge upon surge. "Tis the twink of an ej-e, 'tis the draught of a breath, ITrom die blossom of health to the paleness of death ; 3?rom the gilded saloon to (he bier and the shroud — O I why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
