748. PHILOSOPHY AND RELIGION. Not a leaf-is pluck'd from the branch he bears :

There is a philosophy--hollow, unsound, From his grasp--not an arrow has flown;

To matter-confining its false speculation; The mist-that obstructed his vision-is past,

Whose flight is confin'd within Nature's dull round, And the murmur of discord--is gone ; (plain,

Its pinions--the web-of sophistic persuasion. For he sees, with a glance over mountain, and And, there's a philosophy—truly Divine, The union--unbroken, from Georgia-lo Maine. That traces effects--10-spiritual causes, Far southward, in that sunny clime,

Determines the link--of the chain where they join,

And soars-to an infinite height-ere it pauses. Where bright magnolias bloom, And the orange-with the lime-tree vies,

That-meanly debases the image of God, In shedding rich perfume,

To rank with the brute—in the scale of creation; A sound was heard-like the ocean's roar,

This-raises the tenant of light-from the sod, As its surges break-on the rocky shore.

And bears him to heaven-his primitive station. Was it the voice-of the tempest loud,

Hail! science---of angels! Theosophy-hail! As it felld-some lofty tree,

That shows us the regions of bliss by reflection; Or sudden flash—from a passing storm

Removes from creation's broad mirror-the vail, Of heaven's artillery ?

Where spirit-and matter appear in connection. But it died away, and the sound of doves It breaks on the soul-in an ocean of light, [ions, Is heard again-in the scented groves.

She starts from her lethargy-stretches her pinThe links are all united still,

Beholds a new world-bursting forth on her sight, That form the golden chain,

And--soaring in ecstasy--claims her dominions. And peace, and plenty-smile around,

A sense of original, dignified worth, Throughout the wide domain :-

Her bosom expands with sublime exaltation; How feeble-is language, how cold is the lay, She tastes immortality-even on earth, Compar'd with the joy of this festival day- In light, that eclipses-the sun's emanation. To see that banner-waving yet,

Be sages, and pedants—to nature-confined, [ence; Aye, waving proud, and high,

As the bat-darkly flutters-in Luna's pale pres No rent-in all its ample folds;

I'll soar, “ike the eagle-thro' regions of mind, No stain--of crimson dye:

The man th't 's resolute, and just, Nature, in her productions slow, aspires,
