10 Ann. by AIsERro,
Would the charms oi vino explore,
And every mental beauty scan,
I'D seek the maid that I adore,
And find them all in lovely Ann.
For thee I'D trace each modest grace
That ere the mind Of woman blest,
And whist they sparkled in her face
I'D feel them glowing in her breast.
Had Tor every beauty sighed.
Since life its earliest course began,
His here-'tis hers, my heart had cried
They're ell combined in lovely Ann.
Her lips, twin sisters of the rose,
And eyes thousand joys inpart,
Her forehead's fair 81 wintry SHOWS,
Her cheeks are teil-talcs ofthe heart.
Would ! each world by car, esigu
And Danish trouble fom my breast,
And feel that earthly bliss was mine,
And myself supremely bies,
I'D hy to her whose temple mild, man
Would smooth each rugged trsi, ir
Fo Virtues temple, Virtues child,
I'D fly to blushing lovely Ann.

A Fathers reflections at the grave of his Child,
tho day twelye-month that she died.
A year has past since thou hast slept
Within this lonely bed,
And many time for thee I've wspt
And many tear I've shed.
Can forget thy winning smile,
Thy mild expressive eye,
That of have soolh'd my cares tho while,
And checks the rising sigh.
Oft as thou's, played around my knee,
I've prest my lips 10 thine
And III, hight heart, from sorrow free,
HAS checred the gloom OF mine.
But ah that smile, that oeaming eye.
And playfulness, are DER
And am doomed to mourn and sigh,
That thou arr now no more.
Beside thy little grassy ted,
Where thou so still rdosi sleep,
by mem'ry and by sorrow led,
iii oft retire 10 weep.
But though for thee my tears thus flow,
Though still for thee sigh,
4 I'm conforteds for sure know.
Thou art with our God on high.

We have hitherto endeavored to make the re-

enable US to accomplish our design, by RENTING
the small sums due from them respectively. This
