mile NS’ BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY.
BY J, G. WHITTIER.
Let those who never erred forget
Ilia worth, in vain bewailings;
Sweet Soul of Song! I own iriv debt
Uneaneelied by liis failings !
Lament who will the vibaldliue
Which tells his lapse from duty,
How kissed the maddening lips of wine
Or wanton ones of beauty ;
But think, while falls the shade between i
The erring one and Heaven,
. That lie Who loved like Magdalen,
Like her may be forgiven.

Eternal echoes render—
The mournful Tuscan’s haunted ryhme,
And Milton’s starry splendor I
But who his human head has laid
To nature’s bosom nearer?
Who sweetened toil like him, or paid
To love n tribute dearer ?
Through all his tuneful art, how strong
The humble feeling gushes!
The very moonlight of his song
Is warm with smiles and blushes.
Give lettered pomp to teeth of time,
So “Bonnie Doon” but tarry ;
Pilot out the Epic’s stately rhyme,
But snare his “ Highland Mary ! ”

Professor Morse. We knew that
Professor Morse had tried liis hand
at painting, architecture and even

before that he could turn a rhyme
as neatly as is shown here. Mr.
