THE PttESfc.
Thought flit and flutter through the mind,
A.h oYr tho waves tho shifting wind;
Trarklcs and traceless i thrir flight,
As fallinp: stars of yesternight.
Or the old lidc-marks on tho shorn
Which other tides have rippled o'er.
Yet Airr, by genius trainid anil taughl,
Arrests, records the fleeting thought,
Stamps on the minute or the hour
A lasting, an eternal power.
And to mind's passing shad ws gives
An infill in e that forever lives.
But mightiest of the mighty means,
On wheh th arm of progress hans,
Man's uohlisl mission to advance,
His woes assi.agc, his weal t nuance,
His rights en'orce, his wrongs ndrtss
