BY EDMUND REApY.
fIark through twilight closters stealing
Faint the sounds Of music roll
IT'S the solemn requiem pealng,
Breathed for departed soul.
Distant now the voices blending.
Through the dim sisies floating,
Like incense to Heaven ascending.
Bearing soul and sense away
Now the notes on frailty dwelling,
Low and trembling are preferred
Now in faith and triumph swelling,
High, as If their God had heard.
Now again they die-bereaving
Hope OF dreams round which twned;
Gone are loves wild visions, leaving
Tears, and weight of earth behind.

And where the broadeaved pantan shone
Near the slight palmtree's fanlke crown,

Lending its kindly shelter still,
From noontde heat or midnight chill;

THE PENITFNTS OFFERING

Before the alihealng Son,
Dldst bow thee to the earth, oh lost and found
When thou would'st battle his feet,
With colours richly sweet,
And many shower Of womans burning tears,
And dry them with that hair
Brought low the dust to wear,
From the crowned beauty ofts festal years
Did lie reject thee then,
While the sharp of men
On Thy once bright and stately head was cast
No, from the Saviour's mein,
solemn light serene,
Bore to thy soul the peace of God a: last
For thee, their smiles no more
Familiar faces wore;
Voices once kind, had learned the strangers tone
WHO raised thee up, and bound
Thy silent spirits wound ,
He, from all guilt the stainless, lie alone
But which, oh errng child
From home so long beguiled,
Which ofthne offerings on those words of Heaven,
That DER the bruised reed
Condemned OF earth to bleed,
In music passed, "Thy sins are all forgiven!''
Was it that perfume fraught
With balm and incense brought
From the sweet w&ls of Araby the blest
Or that fast Rowing rain
OF tears, which not in vain
To HIM who scorned not tears thy confessed
No, not by THESE restored
Unto thy Fathers board, :
Thy peace, that kindled joy in Heaven was made
But costlier in his eyes,
BY that best sacrifice,

LINES BY BISHOP HEBER AT A FUNERAL
Beneath our feet, and DER our head,
Is equal warning given
Beneath us lie the countless dead,
Above us is the heaven.
Their names craven on the stone,
Their bones are in the clay
And ere another day is gone,
Ourselves may be as they.
Death rides on every passing breeze,
Ike turks in every flower,
Each season has its own disease,
Its peril every hour
Our eyes have seen the rosy light
Of youths soft cheek decay,
And Fate descend in sudden night
On manhood's middle day.
Our eyes have seen the step ofage
Halt feeby t'wards the tomb,
And yet shall earth our hearts engage,
And dream of days to come
Turn mortal turn thy danger know;
Where'er thy foot tread
The earth rings hollow from below,
And warns thee Of her dead

Worcester County Nominations.

On the 14th inst. the delegates from sew

House in this town, pursuant to previous
notice, for the purpose of making romina-
tons for candidates to be supported at the

viously ascertained that several towns were
not represented, great number of citizens
from all parts of the county assembled at
the Court House, and filed the vacancies in
all but three of the towns. The conven-

TO OUR PATRONS.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 81, 1897.

The publishers of the Spy, believing that
the interest of the establishment would be
promoted, by placing the printing depart
ment under the care and control of one who
is interested in the success of the paper,
have, for that purpose, associated with
themselves S-e--.rpr- H CnLToN. q Young
gentleman in whose ability and faithfumess
they have full confidence. In consequence
of this arrangement, all the accounts of the
establishment prior to the 18th inst. must
be brought to close and all the business
of the concern, subsequent to that day, will
be in the name, and on the account, of the
new firm.
We this day present our readers with
the Spy printed on new type, and, we
believe, in a somewhat improved form.
Such other Improvements will be adopted
from time to time as the extent of our pat
ronage will warrant.
1t may be proper to remark, that there
will be no alteration in the management Of
the editorial department, except so far as i
! relief from the business concerns will ena-
bic us to devote more time and attention tt
| it. Our best exertions shall not be want
ing to render the paper increasingly valua
BILE; and, as a remuneration, we look
with confidence, to an enlightened commu
nifty, for an extension of the patronage
hitherto SO literally bestowed upon us.
