Bid Time and Nature gently spare The shaft we raise to them and thee. 1 RALPH WALDO EMERSON was born in Boston in 1803, graduated at Harvard College in 1821. He entered the ministry, being the eighth of a consecutive line of clergymen in his family. He was a Unitarian at the outset, but became the leader subsequently among the New England Transcendentalists. He won his fame as an essayist and philosopher, writing and lecturing on matters of public and social interest as well as upon metaphysical subjects. Besides several volumes of prose he published two volumes of poems. He achieved a wide reputation both at home and abroad, and a few years since was put forward as a candidate for the Rectorship of Glasgow University, and received a handsome vote. He lived in retirement at Concord, Massachusetts, where he died, April 27, 1882. The Death of the Flowers BURNS, ROBERT. Bruce to his Men at Bannockburn Is there, for Honest Poverty. John Anderson .
