THE EFFIGIES.

————"Women act their parts
When they do make their ordered houses know them.
Men must be busy out of doors, must stir
The city;—yea, make the great world aware
That they are in it; for the mastery
Of which they race and wrestle."—Knowles,


Warrior! whose image on thy tomb,
    With shield and crested head,
Sleeps proudly in the purple gloom
    By the stain'd window shed;
The records of thy name and race
    Have faded from the stone,
Yet through a cloud of years I trace
    What thou hast been and done.
