fought the game Sampson. Sampson did not venture to come up:
A Bulletin, however, arrived from his two Birmingham nurse,
stating that " be was quite as well as could be expected," as
would shortly return to the button-moulders of his native town, to
reap the reward of his prowess. The Stakeholder was prf sent, and
announced that he had given Ned O'Neale a cheque for the amount
of the battle-money, which, at once, put an enu to the numerous
doubts which existed as to whether beta would be paid or not.—
The bets, according to the rules of sporting, necessarily go as the
battle-money goes; and, although many may pay with reluctance,
still, in honour, they will be expected " to tip." Upon the character
of the fight, some severe comments were made, and Sampson's con-
duct was spoken of in no very measured terms. Ot O'Neal*.
nothing prejudicial was yid ; his friends, of course, contend that be
knocked his man out o(fime, and as far as he is concerned, no blame
whatever seems to attach. The thing, upon the whole, was ex-
trentely well managed.

Look sister sweet, upon that hallow'd stone!
We stand upon a spot of love and fear ;
For there is laid a heart, the fondest one,
That 'Orr left its children weeping here !
There sleeps our Mother in the silent dust,
By an our sorrow all oar love unmoved ;
Sleeps, till the solemn summons of the just,
Bids her awake, to meet the Gob she loved !
I saw het fainting on the bed of pain ;

I saw her like the leave* of Autumn lie;
I saw ber strive to smile, but strive in vain—

And then l— no, I dared not see her die !
Then came the bitter pageant of the grave—
The fearful hearse, the following weeping crowd:
I saw—'twas but one look—the plumage wave,
And loafed to slumber with her in her shroud !
THOU, Bum of Kings, who on the babettlidst smile,
And take the little one upon thy knee,
Guide us through earth, and all its mares awhile—
Then take us, innocent, to rest with Tam !
Sweet sister, bend no more on earth thine eyes—
No more weep idly on that silent stone ;
But fix thy pae, tby soul, upon those skies;
There shall we go—for there our Mother's gone!
