use Of the bow and arrow. and was one day
unfortunately successful in bringing down

|thoughtlessness of play than design. The
|mournings of its widowed mate, made an
impression on his mind which was never
erased, and caused him frequently to IN
troduced the dove in his pictures. This
was sensibility quite unaffected, and
closely allied to the highest energies OF
intellect. An anonymous writer in some
tributary verses to the memory of MIR
West, thus alludes to the circumstance

THY genuine scnsiblity nor care,
That upas of the soul, impaird its powers; =.
Still couldst thou mourn the futtering dove
distress,
Which struck thy heart in boyhood's arden
! hour,
