SAVANTISM.

THITHER, as I look, I see each result and glory re-     tracing itself and nestling close, always obli-     gated;
Thither hours, months, years — thither trades, com-     pacts, establishments, even the most minute;
Thither every-day life, speech, utensils, politics, per-     sons, estates;
Thither we also, I with my leaves and songs, trustful,      admirant,
As a father, to his father going, takes his children      along with him.
