POETRY. From the United Slates' Gaxttte. THK (;r ave. What is the grave ? A pillow of rcpoor, Where all musl rest, and never more awake To the world’a toil. Sinnrr and saint, Einp’ror and slave; king, p^a!Mint, lord and vassal; Pomp, poverty, humility and pride; Ambition, that disdains to tread the earth, And mounts among the stars, lo, liore it lies! Empty distinction !—honors, titles, powei-, l.'nite with uioannesb, beggary and siianie: The grave alike receives ihcm, while it mocks At the survivor’s grief, who in his turn. Awaits the mandates which he now deploref!. Others shall we*-p for him; and in their fall They shall be wei>t by otliers. 'I'hus the world Moves onward in its melancholy march. One vast extended t'iin«-ral, traught with tears. None cease to mourn, but those who cease to feel, In the kind refuge of the trrave’s embrace. \nd yet we slmn it—shudder at our friend; Clinp to the plitti'rinp phantoms that delude us; Puild ou the windi«,confide upon the waves; Nor see the tem[)est8 that shall wreck mr hopos Nor dream of clianginjj tides, or hidden shoiiis, That lie beneath the smiling treachery Others pink; itinct order and clasnification.
