Oh, yet wo trust that somehow good
Will bo the final goal of ill,
To pangs of nature, sins of will,
lxiocts ot doutit, and tints o,' blood;
That nothing walks with aimless feet;
That not one life shall bo destroyed,
Oi castas rubbish to the void,
When God hath made the pile complete.
That not a worm is cloven in vain;
That not a moth with vain desire
Is shrivel’d in a (lie Lees fire,
Or but subserves nuothir’s gain.
B> hold, we know not anything;
I can but trust tint good shall full
At last-far ff at last, to all,
And* ry w riter el oto spring.

Not a drnm was heard, nor a iuncral note,
As his corpse to the om skirt they hurried;
Not a ranger discharged his farewell shot
O'er the grave whore the stranger v. as

Tney burnedliini i’n v.ly, at dead ol mgbt,
/.nd without any pomp or pageant;
As theyshovs’.lelh m it they said, ‘A lnghl.
He was only a lightning-rod agent.”

Only a bee made prisoner,
C .light in a gathered rose !
Was ha not V are, a flower so fair

Only a heart made prisoner,
Going out free no mor ■!
Was he not ’ware a face so fair
Must have been gathered before ?
