UT The following lines we're written By one
sf the Editors on the death of an only sister,
whose spirit he is supposed to see in vision.
What lovely orbs my very soul entrance,
And bend ON me melancholy glance
Tell me sweet spirit, tell ne dost thou know
Why should my presence interes. thee SO
Oft have past with many weary turn
Thro' life's obscure and sorrowiul sojourni
Yet nevor did WITNESS eyes that shine
On me with so much tenderness thine
Once such knew, and must tell the name,
A Sisters zrere, and these must Re the same.
Sweet violet long in my bosom worn,
Thy loss with hcart.'el, heaviness mou rn.
In early youth, when dreams Of brilliant JOY
Danced round the head of the romantic hoy,
Oft didst thou smile, tho not without alarms,
To see him dsndled thus in fancy's arms
Or, when capricious discomfort would trace
Her broken lines across my infant face
And sorrow deeply for Brothers sake,
Thy tender heart in sympathy would ache,
Thou vert a child of nature void OF art.
Whatever Joy or sorrow touched thy heart,
Thy face no borrowed artifce could wear,
For nature kept faithful record there.
That spot OF earth where thou didst time be-
guile,
To woo capricious Fora to n smile,
Loo S deso'ste-for now no hand hast freed
The tender flowret from the incumbent weed (;
Yet here and there sickly bloom is found,
Rising anids, the grass that grows around,
Like memorial of thy loss il stands
Ard mourns the absence of thy gentle hands.
Of have my footsteps paced the silent room
Once thy abode, now dreary aIomb,-
Each object serves thy memory to recall:
The mournrui pictures pendant from the wall,
The solitary chair thee beicf:,
The unfnishel ask and threaded needle left,
No sounds invade the sorrow!Sl retreat,
None but the echoes of a mourner's ieet.

OBITUARY.

ODAI OAh1.
Departed this life, on the 18th ultimo. after
short but violent indisposition, Mr. FRANCIS
u. STRoBIA, of this City. He supported bis
!lness with fortitude, that could only have
been inspired, by the conscious rectitude of
his former life; and the most perfect resip-
nation marked the last moments of his earthly
existence. He was in the possession Of every
virtue, calculated to adorn the MIND, or render
s,potiess the human heart. A noble generosity of
disposition, an open, sincere and affable d, port
ment, and diSinterestedness of friendship. az
lasting as his existence, were among the dis
tinsuishins traits OF our lsmented friend
The unsullied purity ofhis life, and the native
benevolence OF his disposition, rendered him
Gear to all who knew him. AmiabIe youne
man thou hast hidden US an untimely adieu
but 1T IS SHe alone VIII have to regret thy de,
parture. We know that thou hast winged thy
flight to the mansions of eternal bliss, but the
loss OF one, so deservedly dear, will not soon
be forgotten Thy upright and exemplary life
will often be pointed to, as an example worthy
OF imitation, thy memory shall live unimpaired
IN the bosom of friendship, and tho green sod
which covers thy grave, shall often be watered
by the tears ofthy disconseate friends.
