and is supposed to have waylaid Riley, on his road

LNAE1s LANGUAGE.

There's language that's mute, there's 4

there IS something that cannot oa t4ll,
There are words that can only bcretI ~ t..- cae-A
And thoughts but the eyes can unfold
There's look 50 expressive, 50 timid, So A.n1,
So conscious, 50 quick to imp4rt
Though dumb in an instant it speaks out t-e p...l
And strikes IN an instant tie he4gt.
This eloquent silence, this converse Of so4,
In vain we attempt to Suppress
More prompt it appears from the Wish n oqa.,al,
More apt the fond truth to express.
And oh the delights in the features that shine,
The raptures the bosom that melt
When blest With each other this converse d.v.as
Is mutually spoken and felt

ELEGIAC STANZAS,
On he deaM Of TnomAs c. RUSSELL, 7eio died IL
Baltimore, October, 1924.
How SAD, how dreary, seems the world to me,
How fast its hopes and pleasures pass away,
Fen friendships pure enjoyments quickly hee
And youth and manhood bloom but to decay.
Al what is life It's like the morning flower,
That droops before the rising orb Of day,
IT'S Ike the dew drop, and the nerna shower,
That melt and vanish in the sunny ray.
Breathe not the name Of him who is no more,
For who bear to breathe a name so dear;
Let silent sorrow long his loss deplore,
And oft embalm his memory with tear.
For in his bosom kind affection dwelt.
Ana glowing friendship, ardent and sincere,
A love for every quality he felt,
That can adoru the man, or can endear
His mind was stored with many a useful thought,
And yirtuous sentiment inspired his breast,
And lofty principle, which stopped to nought
That lowered the noble nature he possessed.
But who would mourn for one that takes bis night
To the pure mansion OF ErERNAl DAY.
Who would recall HIM from the fields Of light,
Where every tear OF wo is wiped away
Sweet be thy sleep, beloved, lamentel friend,
Sweet be Thy sleep and peaceful thy repose
The scenes OF earth for thee have now an end,
Nike TO thee her pleasures and her woes
Long. long in memory shall thy name remain,
Der many an early scene shall fancy stray,
And oft shall fond remembrance wake again
Those dear delights that blessed our Youthful day

And hear the solemn lesson thou canst gye,
