ILEPOINTER'S EPITAPH.
WRITTEN BY A SPORTSMAN.
I''arewell, poor Tray, farewell 1 thy mournful fate
Has touched my hesrt, and filled my eyes with water;
or oh, thy services were truly great,
A.ttd such as should be valued by a sporter.
Yee. thou had'st worth, and memory's pen has booked it,
And grieved am I to find that thou hest kosked it.
No more thou'lt mark the fated Bird aloft,
Nor watch while in my sporting bag I tuck it ;
This thou hut done full many a time and oft,
tut all is over—thou halt kicked the bucket.
Another dog must show me what his nose is,
When sporting in my shooting-coat from MOSES.
4h. Tray, if thou couldst see thy master now,
~.tDresfied in the shooting-coat which MOSES sold him,
Aefedst stare at the improvement, and allow
11:„Twas quite a pleasure even to behold him.

claim renewed support throughout the season.
