The Dying Volnptsmry. I must obey, I may noi stay, Tbe eco no nf life ?B ending: Tbe lot is east, death calle at last, My final boar's impending, Farewell estate and hopes elate, All Uko a song aro unA^, Thon glorious sun, my cWry is done. Bat thou, thy journey keeping, Go on thy way, great king of day I must in death bo sleeping; Night's pall is spread, the light is fled, My bark to port is sweeping. Thou moon sorene, with silver sheon, \ Yo planets golden seeming, And little eyes that star thc skies. For my descendants beaming; The fates' decree of death to mo Is told by comets streaming. Three hundred times, thr'eo thousand times, Farewell, thou world defining: Unsteady thou and slippery now, Farewell with all thy smiling; "With falsehoods sweet and artful cheat No longer mo beguiling. le castles bright with gems bedight, Farewell on high erected. With marble walls or ivory halls In fancy's skies reflect eu; I seo my bed among tho dead. By death's palo steeds directed. Ye beauties are, whose charms so fair, My captive sonso delighted; D?lirions dream of love supremo That all my mind excited; Now solemn shade o'er all is madel On sight and scone benighted! Yo dances vain and sports profane lu wanton chorus singing; Be still I pray, your orgi?H stay, God's sommons now is ringing His crier death, with startling breath My mortat Bcntouco bringing. Delights of lifo with luxury rife, The table's social pleasure; The dainty meats, thc honeyed sweets, And wine cop's crowned treasure; I loathe you all, while death doth call To pledge bia brimming measure. Haste ye away, fade and decay. Yo rich perfumes and dresses; Be cold and stale, yo pleasures frail, Provoking love's caresses; Foal wonna shall dress lil loathsomeness The grave my body presses. Oh honor's height! oh glory's light! I leave all honors fleeting: As hence I go, my fate to know, Eternity now meeting; Title and fame and noble name, How worthless and how cheating. Ye chosen few, my comrades true, Dear friends my pleasure sharing; Insulting death stops every breath. No wit or wisdom sparing; And hero to-day I leave our play, My last farewell declaring. Body farewell, thy fate I toll, This final summons hearing; Thou too hast known and called thine own My griefs and joys endearing; Body and mind, in lifo combined, One goal are always nearing. A DARSEY'S VIEW OF THE SITUA T?ON.-An English traveler gives th following account of a conversatioi with a negro in Alabama: A gentleman of color working 01 one of the boats on the Alabam Uiver, was asked the other day whe ther he was best off now or before h was free. He scratched his wool tm said: "Wall, -wen I tnmbuld overbor befor, de capt in he stopt de ship, au put back and pict me up, and de guv me a glass ob hot wiskee an water, and den dey guv me twent lashes for fall in' overbord. But no ef I'd tumbnl overbord, do cap ti he'd say, 'Wat's dat? Oh! only df dam nigger-go ahead. ' " A man and wife were sitting i breakfast the other day-thohusban trying to read the paper, while h wife wns lecturing him on his di sipated hours. He suddenly looke up from his paper and ?aid: "Here a perfectly correct sentiment, writer in this paper says, tho bc capital to begin life with is a capit wife!" "That is very true, dear replied tho wife, smiling, thinkit that her remark would elicit a cor pli men t, "but where can you al wa; get them?" "In the deaf and dun asylum, of course.
