For you've roved for ages all unloldt "With a wavingplume of snow, And mingled the gorgeous sheen of gold With the hues of the covenant bow. You've clasped in your stern and cold embrace Thejwarrior's mailed form) And swept o'er his lonely resting place In your panoply of storm. Z nave kissed, in your gentle muN muringe, 'The cheek of the lovely dead, And a requiem wild your, rippling sings, As you.roll above their bed. You're, rolling now, with your hoary 10CKS Yet dancing on your brow; And the sea-bird to. your lullaby rocks, "When the western sun is low. And you'll roll on yet when the morning Biar 'Shall gleam on the dark btae wave, And the firmament torches fade from far O'er the mariner's lonely grave. The sum shall .sink to his rest for aye, The stars fade out frjrn heaven, The scroll of the skies shall convulsively away, "By the last of the tempests driven) The flames shall flash with a lurid glow On the wreck of the earth and sky, But you'll roll on then, as ycu're tolling now, With a chant of melody, THE LAST.

'Of what regiment pray sir!' said Swift. 'O, Mr. Dean wo know your powers of raillery you know me well enough; I am one of his majesty's sergeants at law, and am come to demand if you are the author of this poem, (producing It,) and these villainous lines on me?' 'Sir,' said Swift, 'when I was a young man, I had the honor of being intimate with some great legal characters particularly Lord Somers, who knowing my propensity to satire, ad vised me when I lampooned a knave or a fuol, never to own it. Conformably to that advice, I tell you that I am not the author. A City in a Ravine. 'Tho entire city of Guanujuaio,' says Kendall, in one of his ketches, Ms built in a deep but narrow ravine, somo two miles in length, while its greatest width is perhaps not more than four or five hundred yards. On either side high and precipitous mountains rise so steep that the very goats can hardly find a road up their sides. There are but two or three main streets, but these run the entire length of the city, are very narrow, and the houses extremely high, so that a large pop ulation is congregated in the deep and dark probably does not exist in the wide world, nd nothing induced the early settlers to select it, but that the surrounding mines were among the richest and most produc tive in the country." After passing through the suburbs of tho city,' he adds, 'wo commenced the ascent of the mountain at the only point where a road was practicable. A single turn shut the city we had just left completely from the sight, and I doubt whether there is more than one spot within half a mite from which even the lushest of its numerous domes can be seen, so completely is Guan ujuato hid from the world.'
