My Dear Sir 1t is TO me very painful but
sacred duty to be among the first TO convey the dire
information of your having lost an excellent Bro
Their, and much valued friend, who, on the last
moment has honored with an additional and
most precious mark of his affection You know
that during our passage and since our arrival in
France, the health of Mr.. Somerville has ever
been declining. However anxious he was to fulfil
his honorable mission, he found himself forcibly
detained in Paris, n or could he even meet our in
vitaion to await better times, in the bosom of our
family, and when his physician yielded to his i'm
poriunties, 10 let him proceed TO the South every
hope to save him had been given up An account
of the lamented event will be transmitted by the
proper authorities. / shall confine myself TO his
expressed intention TO entrust us, at La Grange,
with the Of his mortal remains; the affecting
| wish had been in recent interview, mentioned
with most friendly earnestness-i il was repeated
TO Doctor Lucas on the very day of his DEATH
amidst the deep feelings of affection, no time was
lost, and while my son remained here 10 watch
over the precious charge, l FASTENED to consult
with the Minister and other officers Of the United
States, in Paris, on the method, by which duty,
respect, and affection towards him might best be
gratfed.
The respected remains which had been deposited
in my house, was from there accompanied by the
Consul, Mr.. Barnet, and Mr. Hawley, of New
York, by the Mayor of,his Commune, several inyi-
ted neishbors, mourning concourse of people, and
both OF US, 10 grave next 10 that where lies my
sons daughter.
And now, my dear sir, i, remains for me to apo
logse for those details, which, painful as they are,
it has appeared necessary 10 lay before you and
other members of the family. Should any thing
have been wanting Internationally in our perform
ance, with the advice of the American public Off
GERS here, what have thought most conso-
nant to YOUR lamented brother,s and vour o,,n
views, al least there has been no deficiency in our
feelings and in eagerness, the deporable oc-
casion, 10 do for the best.
Be pleased TO accept the affectionate coincidence
and high regard. OF two sympathising friends, my
son and myself, to whom, my whole family beg 10
be joined. LAFAYETTE.

Her watch Der that fair II ing
While round the lips bright miles still play,
Telling Of happy dreams,
Her little self in finer clay

It's hers thro' many lonely day,
Her little ones to see,
Pursue with bosoms light and gay,
Their sport in merry gee.
And oft with laughing eyes they cone,
To give the accuston Il kiss;
Such Joys they throw around our home
such is mothers bliss.
What fairy dreams come throw ing now
In rainbow colours wrought,
When years have grac'd the boy 5 far brow
And shaded it with thoughts
She sees in tancy's fair domain,
With fond and partial eyes,
Where virtue, worth, and genius reign.
He wins the glorious prize.
Though sickness steal the cheeks fresh ;inse,
And check the lAborng breath,
Altho' the white lids, silken fringe
Close DER the eyes in death
Altho' the whitening dreadful shaft
Relentless should be sped,
Still in that sorrows bitter draught
Is consolation shed.
