Ab! whence those stars ? whence rise those sen that recd
The air with anguish ? see yon wretch, whose limbs
Scarce bear his :eeble form; behold that child
In broken accents lisp out Alider's name.
Stranger, approach with reverence this spot,
And o'er hi 4 grave check not the tilling tear:
Here lies the poor man's hope—the widow's joy,
The best of fathers, and the orpliai.'s friend.
The hand that once bestow'd relief—the heart
Which throbb'd responsive to the tale of woe,
That hand, now nerveless, shall relieve no more.
But hark ! the trumpet sounds—thousards of anielsa
Obedient to tk'Almighly summons, rise,
And on their wings support his much-lov'd form.
Ye widowed mourners 1 ye deserted orphan!
Repress your sorrow, and with gladness come,
And o'er his grave drop tears of joy : be lives—.
Beyond the tomb—in those aboiles of peace
And joy, the mansions of happiness
Eternal ; and, with blessed spirits, sings
The praises of his SAVIOUR and his Con!

On the 10th done, at Strathendey Bleschfield, Scotland, ti cm.
sequence of a fall, M 7. Peter Kilgour, in the 102 d year of his
age.—This singular man is most sincerely regretted by all who
knew him. Free from the peevish attendants of old age, he pes.
messed a liberally of sentiment far beyond many of the present
day. 'Truly relig,ons, without the most distant shadow of hyped&
cal bigotry. He enjo7ed life unmixed with the least tinctures!
mortal alloy, the dread of approaching dissolution. He was chaff.
ful and happy beyond example, and rescued ail that gaiety d
siirit to the last which was so conspicuous in his life. An to.
feigned believer in the sacred doctropm of Christianity, MINIM
reten:ive memory was stored with every troth valuable to a Mr
gious mind. This was the genuine source of that blissful unitise.
nifty of character through lite, and of that most invaluable of al
human attainments, a happiness at the approach of death dial
was hardly ever witnessed. He was a striking proof that true
religion does not always dwell with the pharisaical self-righteous,
nor with the croaking cankerous bane of society, the surly, aus-
tere, vil:fier of human character. This man was never known
to utter a word in his lifc detrimental to any of the human race.
He never beard a word to the prejudice of his neighbour, that he
did not endiravaur to extenuate, and always recommended to
judge charitably and loan mercy. Except his sight dimuued with
age, ail his faculties were wonderfully acute ; he had an uncom-
mon fine ear, and consetinent partiality for music. A well-played
fiddle t•tterrett t a common i cat e new life to his nat entail), lively dispo-
sition, and even since he attained his hundredth year, has ohm
brought hint ta his teet to dance, and when be had danced till
unahle to stand, he could not refrain beating time. mapping ha
fingers in unison with the tune, or in some shape diming the
strong impression a tr.ind inspired by coascious rectitude vs"
alone capable of receiving. The company of the sensible, whe-
ther old or young, gave Lisa peculiar delight. He always ereeto
raged, never attempted to check the inndeent ef
youth ; entered cheerfully into their conversations and antva.
nlents ; sung an old song, or Scotch air, wi:h gracefulness and
taste. fie was particularly glad with the children; they were
distractedly fond of hint : unless when More seriously engirt!,
he could never be happy without some one of them generally
seated on his knee :

" Then cresting up his braid blue lemnett,
" Wou'd sing them o'er an mild Scotch sonar."
This was his amusement just before his fatal fall. WU a child
oa every knee, a hand on the far shoulder of each—
" His bonnet like a girdle braid,
" (His hair like Craighope smiw,)"
Set up in front and falling back upon his shoulders, he ha' io
way been diverting the children, and amusing himself fir souse
time, be correltided with tke following verse—
Gin ye'll go to Di uniockie,
I will treat you rarely,
A gla-s o' wine in ilia hand,
'lir drink a health to Charlie.
Turn ye, turn ye, bony lassie,
Turn ye, aye's I bade ye;
Turn ye right and round about,
And kiss the plowman ladle.
Upon finishing this he put the children off his knees, and one
from his seat, with an intention of going to his own room, wails
he fell, and injured his right thigh hone, which occasioned Ins
death. At the time of the accident he was in good health, wek
a cheerful open countenance; a complexion which the ruddi es
of youth had never deserted. Not a wrinkle in his full f
Be-
head, nor furrow in his cheek. A stranger would hive
taken him for a healthy man of little above ceventy letrs
of age. Yet Irons a source that cannot be doubted, this truly good
man was born at Biuend, Burntisland parish,the 1 stk M arch,l 71
where he, wish three other brothers, continued to live with their
mother, for some time alter the death of their father, till the
marriage of the oldest brother, to whom the lease of the Farra
devolved. The three remaining brothers, of whom Peter veal
the oldest, left Binetid, and toot a Earns from Mr. Fergusoa, of
Raids carryieg with them their aged mother. At
Biuend and Cormie-hill, there brothers lived for nearly no years;
and such wits the situation of the dwelling-house on calk Farm,
that they could nut go beyond the threshold of their own dose
during all that period, in a clear morning, without having a IA
view of Edinburgh: yet, strange as it mar, appear, Peter Lever
was on the Pier of Leith, nor in Edinburgh, in his life; nor teen
crossed the Forth, but once at Higgins Neuk ; and ear. pt this
solitary instance, and once at a Perth market, he never was
miles front tie spot where he was burn. He never attempted ta
cross to Leith but once, which di sire was excited by the bat le
of Prestonpans. On the morning of the battle, Peer, with stone
other brothers, were going to a part of the Farm that ret ther
faces direct towards the field of battle, their attention was fix J
by the glancing of the arms of the combatants; and win ri tie
firing began, they at down on a fatil.l dyl.e, and continue I seat-
ed till the noise had enirely ceased. Some days after, Pe.. r
went to the water side, with an intention of going ova, hi::
there was either no boat to cross, or no boat would crus.s.—
He was obliged to return Lome, and never made a second
attempt. t-OLAIC time alter they Lad settled at Cormieltili,
their mother died. The younge,t brusher married; still ti
continued to live together under the same roof, and occupied le.t
one" ingle side." At tilt: end of their lease at Connie-hill, 'hey
~
all removed nom that to a farm under the Earl ut Lever.,
whom they always spoke with an air of the highest veneration
and regar.l. TLey continued under the family of Level WI :he
death of .sue brother and the wire of the third, when the two rt-
wattling brothers retired from the bustle of life;
and now that
they arc ad gone, perhaps a similar tale cannot be told. hese
three affectionate b: others, from the day of their rem festive births
to the day of their respective deaths, neve: were six months seta-
rate intheir lives; and what is somewhat singular, the samegrave contains, and the same sod covert, the mother, the lassbrothers, and the wife of the third.
