hounds | 7 to ex- | tirpate the | wretched | natives of | Mexico; |77| we, | more | ruthless | loose those | brutal | warriors | 7 a- | gainst our | countrymen | 7 in A- | merica, | 7 en- | deared to us | 7 by | every | tie | 7 that can | sanctify hu- | manity. | 7 7| 7 7| 71 | solemnly | call upon your | lordships, | and upon | every | order of | men in the | State, | 7 to | stamp upon | this 7 | infamous pro- | cedure | 7 the in- | delible | stigma | 7 of the | public ab- | horrence. |77|77| More par- | ticularly, | 7 I | call upon the | venerable | prelates | 7 of our re- | ligion, | 7 to | do a- | way this i- | niquity: | 77 | let them per- | form a lus- | tration | 7 to | purify the | country | 7 from this | deep 7 | 7 and | deadly | sin. |77|77|

7 My | Lords, 7| 7 I am | old | 7 and | weak, | 7 and at | present | 7 un- | able to | say | more; |77| but my | feelings and-indig- | nation | 7 were | too | strong to have al- | lowed me to | say | less. |77|77|71| could not have | slept 7 | this 7 | night | in my | bed, | 7 nor | even re- | posed my | head | upon my | pillow, | 7 with- | out 7| giving | vent to my | stedfast ab- | horrence | 7 of | such e- | normous | 7 and pre- | posterous | principles. |77|77|

ON THE BEING OF A GOD.

Young.

7 Re- | tire; 7| 7 the | world 7 | shut 7 | out; 7| 7 thy |

thoughts | call | home: |

7 I- | magi- | nation's | airy | wing 7| 7 re- | press; 77 7

Lock up thy | senses; | 77 | let no | passion | stir; 7 | Wake | all to | reason: | 7 7| 7 let | her 7 | reign a- |

lone; 7|

77| Then 7 | 7 in thy | soul's | deep 7 | silence, | 7 and the | depth 7 |

7 Of | nature's | silence, | 7 7 | midnight, | 77 | thus in- | quire, 7 |

7 As | I have | done; 7 | and shall in- | quire no | more. |

7777

7 In | nature's | channel | thus the | questions | run. | 77|77| "What | am I? | 7 and from | whence?|77|71|nothing | know, 7 |

But that I am;|77|7 and | since I | am, | 7 con- | clude 7|

Something e- ternal: | 7 7 | had there | e'er been | nought, |

Nought | still had | been: |7e| ternal! 7 there | must | be. 77777

7 But | what e- | ternal? | 77 | Why not | human | race?|77|

7 And | Adam's | ancestors | 7 with- | out an | end? 7 | 77|77|

That's | hard to be con- | ceived; 7 | 7 since | every | link 7 |

7 Of | that | long 7 | chained suc- | cession | 7 is | so 7 | frail; 7 |

7 Can | every | part de- | pend, 7| 7 and | not the | whole?|77|

7 Yet | grant it | true; 7 | new | difficulties | rise; 7 | 7 I'm | still | quite 7 | out at | sea: 7| 7 nor | see the |

shore. |77|77|

Whence | earth, 7| 7 and | these | bright | orbs? 7 | 7 E- | ternal | too?|77|

7 7 | Grant | matter | 7 was e- | ternal ; | 7 7 | still these | orbs 7 |

7 Would | want some | other | father; | 77| much de- | sign 7 |

7 Is | seen in | all their | motions, | 7 7| all their makes; 77

7 De- | sign | 7 im- | plies in- | telligence | 7 and | art 7/7 7 | That 7 | can't be | from them- | selves | 7 or | man; 7 |

that 7 | art 7 |

Man | scarce can | compre- | hend, 7 | 7 could | man | 7 be- | stow? 7 |

7. And nothing | greater | yet al- | low'd | 7 than | man, 7|77|

Who, | motion, | 7 7 | foreign to the | smallest grain, | Shot through | vast 7 | masses | 7 of e- normous | weight? 7 | 77 | Who | bid 7 | brute 7 | matter's | restive | lump as-|

sume 7

7 Such | various | forms, 7 | 7 and | gave it | wings to | fly?|77|

Has | matter | innate | motion? | 77 | then 7 | each 7 | atom,

7 As- serting its in- | disputable | right 7 |

7 To dance, 7 would | form an | universe of | dust:7 |

7 Has | matter | none?|77| Then 7 | whence those |

glorious | forms |

7 And | boundless | flights, 7 | 7 from | shapeless | 7 and re- | posed? | 77|

7 Has | matter | more than | motion? | has it | thought, | Judgment and | genius? | 77 | Is it | deeply | learned |

7 In | mathe- | matics? | 77| Has it | framed | such 7 |

laws, |

Which but to | guess 7| 7 a | Newton | made im- | mortal? |

7 If so, 7 | how 7 | each 7 | sage | atom | laughs at | me, 7 |

7 Who | think a | clod in- | ferior | 7 to a | man! 7| 7 If | art to | form; | 7 and | counsel to con- | duct; 7 | 7 Re- | sides not | 7 in | each 7| block; 7|7a| God

head | reigns. | 77|77|

Grant 7 then 7/7 in- | visible |7 e- | ternal | mind; |77| That | granted, | all is | solved | 77 | But 7 | granting |

that 7

Draw I not | o'er me | 7 a still | darker | cloud? 7 | Grant I not | that 7 | which I can | ne'er | con- |

ceive?|77|

7 A | Being | without | origin | 7 or | end!|77|77| Hail | human | liberty! | 7 there | is no | God! 7 |

7 Yet | why? 7| 7 on | either | scheme | that 7 | knot sub- | sists; 7 |

7 Sub- | sist it | must, 7 | 7 in | God, 7 | 7 or | human |

race:

If in the | last, 7| 7 how | many | knots be- | side, 7 | 7 In- | dissoluble | all? | 7 7| 7 7 | Why | choose it |

there, 7

1

Where | chosen | still sub- | sist 7 | ten | thousand |

more?|77|

7 Re- | ject it, | where | that | chosen | 77 | all the | rest 7 |

7 Dis- | persed | leave | reason's | whole ho- | rizon | clear?|77|

This is not reason's | dictate, | 77 | reason | says 7 | Choose with the | side 7 | 7 where | one 7 | grain | turns

the | scale; |77|

7 What | vast pre- | ponderance | 7 is | here!|77| 7 can | reason |

7 With | louder | voice ex- | claim | 7 Be- | lieve al God?777

7 And | reason | heard | 7 is the | sole [ mark of | man. 7|77|

What | things | 7 im- | possible | 7 must | man | think | true, 7 |

7 On | any | other | system! | 7 7| 7 and | how 7 | strange |

7 To disbe- | lieve | 7 through | mere cre- | dulity!" | 77 | 77|

If 7 | 7 in | this | chain | 7 Lo- | renzo | finds | no 7 | flaw, 7|

Let it for- | ever | bind him | 7 to be- | lief. | 77 | 7 And | where the | link | 7 in | which a | flaw he |

finds?|77|

And 7 | if a | God there | is, 7 | that | God | how | great!|77|77|

THE GRAVE.
