Of latc throivn up across his green doinain,
Wherc scarcc his hindmost leet were planted

Whcn suddenly he halted, every limb
fjiill with surprise. Oa eilher hand he saw
Siretching beyond his sight onc level road
A couie with ncithcr starting-point nor goal,
Aud none lo ride and nonc to rnn the race.

Ah me.what artfantastic in the world!
In what remorselcss haste we rattle od,
Green pastures mocking still myhungry gaze
Dotled with temptinghay-cocks, and the track
Turnsnot to any hospitablestall.
Achanging world 1 fashions, conveyance?,
" Andlhegreat globe itself'andhorseswiththcm,
Tum in the circus ot vicissitude.
I'm wcary.of it,and of railing too
Even at the rails. I long for other days
For other days may come evcn to my race
Whcn puttingoffthis frame of flesh and bones
As 'twere aharncss.forthe vulture'sfood,
My hide to manufacturcrs bcqneathed,
Once more a colt I shall most freely range
Through green and boundless pastures, and

In cverlasling stalls. R. E. Y.
