FeiloU Citizen, of The Seaate,
and Of the House Of Representatives.
The members Of the House of Representatives
elected in the year eighteen hundred and twenty
seven having failed to organize that department of
the Legislature in January last, an unusual accumu-
Iation of business will necessarily devolve on you
at the present session. l am not aware that any
considerable inconvenience has resulted from the
pnstponement of the ordinary subjects OF Leglsa-
tive consideration occasoned by this failure to or
ganize perhaps the delay in the revision of our
statutes, and in the publication of the digest was
principally to be regretted. Yet did not feel it to
be my duty, under the provisions of the constitutions
TO call special session of the Legislature. You
are now assembled under circumstances OF less ex-
element and will proceed to the consideration of
the important subjects which may claim your at
tenton with sincere desire of bringing them to a
happy Termination. Guided by common motive.
and having common object in view, the public
good, trust that the of attaining 1t will be
adopted with concord and unanimlty.
I In former communication to the Legislature,
took occasion to call their attention to the proposed
erection of Breakwater or artificial harbour for pro
tecting shipping nearthe Capes ofthe Delaware. viii

this subject the attention which its Importance de
handed and that by an act of Congress approved
on the esd of May, 1928, the sum of two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars is appropriated towards
the accomplishment of that object Surveys and
soundngs and other steps preparatory to the com
mencement of this great work have been made dur
ling the past year, and it is presumed that it will
rapidly progress as the opening OF the spring
will admit. Aware as you must be OF the bene
fits which will result to this State. as we'll as the ma
ton at large from so important an Improvement you
will doubtless be at all times prepared to aid, by
every means within your power. in accclerating the
advancement of an object in relation to which it is
thought there exists but one sentiment among our
people. Congress, at its last session, also made an
appropriation !" to build Light House near the
mouth of Duck creek, adjoining the Delaware Bay
am advised that an application will be made to
you the present session. to cedc to the " States

A FATHERS DEATH BED

The day was closing DER scene of death,
youthful maiden, with iix'd eye, and breath
Scarce that of life knel by the dying bed
Of her lov'd father-round his aged head
Her arms wreath'd as If a shield so fair
Might shut out death, and, with it, her despair
He was her al-her all-0h! none can tell
How high the fUunt of youthful love may swell,
On one alone-for whom to live or die
Bound with our life in one engrossng tie
And fondly, truly, did the maiden prove
TIL undying watchfulness Of wurnans love.
Fix'd was her eye on his, dir with death,
Her quick caught, in passing, each faint breath,
And oft his hand she kiss'd-i,s warmth had Aed;
Oh! could she, with her youthful blood, have fed
| His aged veins, and won from plying Heaven
| His fleeing life, it had been freely given!
The sinking fast-rich CLEANS were lying,
| Rose hues and gold, where the old man lay dying
| Bright snng around that anxious wthered brow,
| TiRging bis pale cheek with hol, glow
"My chd,'' he cried, my lov'd one! we must part
The chills of death gathering round my heart;
| and gladly would that wearied heart he free.
But that, my loy'd and lone one. leave thee"
| The maiden spoke not, wept not, hcav'd no sigh,
But her lip quvering told her agony
She still had hoped, still thought they could not part,
Though life was ebbing from her fathers heart;
| So hard it is to think the loved must die!
| So hard tor youth TO feel deaths cold reality
Oh! why must human love still fondly cling
To aught of earth brightest while perishng,
Love on, though love bring nought but agony.
The old man sought to soothe her smuthered woe,
But felt that time alone could calm its flow.
Some other friend will shield thy youth from i'll,
When thy poor fathers heart is cold and still"
! Say not some other friend-it cannot be:
Alas, nay only friend is lost in thee!
And will no eye be bright with joy again,
When am glad! or weep to share my painl
| None cheer the poor lone orphans erring track,
And lead her steps, with fond affection back
To virtues self, and purity's own shrne'
Earth may give all her love, but none like thine"
"Theres one, y child, in whom to place Thy trust
He'll be thy sire when am in the dust;
And when thy pensive thoughts, As oft they will,
Turn to thy fathers love midst every i'll,
Think thou his comfort was-that thy sweet smile
And warm young heart could all his woes begule.
Be this thy solace then,-farewell my child"
Thusspoke the quivering lips that family smiled.
The SUMS last beam bright Ger his features shone-
1t faded-fed-life too with day was gone
The orphan lived; but though her lot was cast
In fortunes brightest smiles-bright to the last
Though round her heart were wove new ties, and
| sweet
Though pleasure spread gay flowers about her feet
Her heart had lost the love that still will last
Through smiles and tears, when life itself is past
Born with our life, and pure as dew-sbove
All blessing from on high-a Parents Love.
