answer to a call for copy for the headof the literary column of the Connecticut Mirror of Hart-ford, which he then edited. They are a true inspiration: the falls of NIAGARA. * The thoughts are strange that crowd into my brainWhile I look upward to thee. It would seemAs if God pourd thee from his hollow hand And hung his bow upon thine awful front,And spoke in that loud voice which seemd to himWho dwelt in Patmos for his Saviours sake,The sound of many waters, and had badeThy flood to chronicle the ages back,And notch his centries in the eternal rocks. ^ Deep calleth unto deep. And what are weThat hear the question of that voice sublime ?Oh ! what are all the notes that ever rungFrom Wars vain trumpet by thy thundering side !Yea, what is all the riot man can makeIn his short life to thy unceasing roar !And yet, bold babbler, what art thou to HimWho drownd a world and heapd the waters farAbove its loftiest mountains .—a light waveThat breaks and whispers of its Makers might. THE END.
