That none, the meanest of created thingtt,
Of forma created the moat vile and brute,
The dullest or moat noxious, 1hould exist
Divorced from good-a apirit and pulse of good,
.A. life and eoul, to every mode of being
Inaepa.rably linlt'd. Then be lo88ured
That leaat of all can aught-that ever own'd
The heaven-regaTding eye ancl front auiflilne
Which man la born to-eink, howe'er depr81111'd.
So low aa to be eoorn'd without. a ain;
Without offence to God caat out of view;
Like the dry remuant of a garden-flower,
"Whoee aeeda aTe abed, or aa an implement
Worn out and worthleaa.

0 WJU.T a glory doth tbia world put on
For him who, with a fervent heart, goea forth
Under the bright and ~lorions sky, and too\&
On duties weU perform d and dAys well spent I
For him the wind, ay, and the yeDow leaves
Shall have a voice 1 and give him eloquent teachlugs,
He ahaU eo bear tne solemn hymn that Death
1!38 lifted up for all, t'bat "he abaU go
To hia long resting-plACe without a tear.
