In the following lines, which have been pronounced as beautiful as any tobe found in the English language, the fa mous author has given an inkling of her views.— THE CHOIR INVISIBLE. • ’ • BY GEORGE EI IOT. O may I join the choir invisible Of these immortal dead who live again In minds made better by their presence; live Jn pulses stirred to generös,ty, In deeds of daring rectitude, in scorn For miserable aims that end with self, In thoughts sublime that pierce the nignt like stars, And with their mild persistence urge man’s search To vaster issues. » Be gathered like a scroll within the toml Unread forever. • This is the life Id come Which martyred men have made me re glori ous For us who strive to follow. May I reach That purest heaven, be tootheriouls The cup of strength in some great agony, Enkindle generous ardor, feed pure love, Beget the smiles that have no erueltv— • • • Be the sweet presence of a good diffused, Ami in diffusion ever more intense. So slid 11 I join the choir invirdl le Whose music is the gladm as of the world. TALENT CHURCH NOTICES.
