toned to you his eldest son Samuel :
several passages of his eventful life will
prove highly interesting to you, Samu-

intellect, and waywardness oftemper.-
In youth, aud almost in infancy, the de-
termined obstindcy of headstrung will
Showed itself in the utter Impossiblity of
control he exhibited. His father tried
discipline--he obeyed it, for he said his
father was the strongest, and resistance
was of no ayail--his father tried the ad.
vice Of parental affcction--but Samuel
would follow it no farther than he chose.
He distinguished himselfin in school, not
because he was obliged to study. but-be-
cause he thought it would be useful to
him in after life--but even ip school the
turbuIency ofhis temper manifested tself
in his contempt Of all control and resist

Old Grimes.

OA0 SIAhACSs
Old Grimes is dead that good old man,
We Ee'er shall see him more;
He used to wear long black coat
All button'd down before.
His heart was open as the day
His feelings all were true
His hair was some inclined to grey;
He wore it-in queue.
Whene'er he heard the voice ofpaiD,
His breast with pity burned
The large round head upon his cane
From ivory was turned.
And ever prompt at PHYS cnll,
He knew no base design
His eyes were dark, and rather small
His nose was aequiline.
He lived at peace with oil mankind,
In friendship he was true
His coat had pocket.holcs behind
His pan;aloons were blue.
Unharmcd, the sin which earth pollutes
He pass'd securely Ger
He never wore pair of boots
For thirty years or more.
But good Old Grimes is now at rest,
Nor fears Misfortune3 frown--
He wore double breasted vest,
The stripes ran up and down.
His modest merit sought to find,
And pay it its DESERT
Ho had no malice in his mind
No ruffles on his shirt.
His neighbors he did not abuse,
Was sociable and gay
He wore large buckles on his shoes,
And changed them every day:
His knowledge. hid from public gaze.
He did not bring to view,
Nor make noise town. meeting days.
AS many people do.
His worldly goods he never threw,
In trust to fortunes chances
But, lived fas oil his brothers dol
In easy circumstances.
Thus ndisturbed by anxious cares,
His peaceful moments ran
And every body said he was
A fine old gentleman.
