Till and my dear parents meet.
The strongest ties that e'er could bind
My weary woe-gir, spirit here,
Are broken, and il cannot find
Bliss, or pleasure, on this sphere.
Earth's light to me is quenched and gone;
And nought remains but tears and gloom
Through life's sjoyless waste, alone
wander, sorrowing to the tomb.
Parents! who are now partaking
Ofthe precious joys above
In Ills holy presence waiting
For the daughter Of your love,
Life's heavy ills and bitter pain
A little while yet shall bear;
And then in bliss we'll meet again
Where never death shall part us more.
Thou who hath lost parent, or friend
'Endeared to thee by kindness, or by worth
To sorest trial that afflicts us here
Upon this neither world, knowest of the grief
And agony which wung the Scraph soul

into their heads TO reform" them. AT that

fifteen Banks established upon specie ba.

efllie'ien for about two years. The last
Legislature, Of the same political faith. re-
pealed the Jaw and made it penilentiary
offence by solemn enactment, 10 issue any
more bills under the reform system Al
the same time this law was repealed, the
Legislature chartered State Bank with a
large capital, upon the specie basis. In the
mean time, all OF the old fifteen banks, save
one continued sound and their bills good

similar 10 some of the crude schemes cried
up in this State by the Van Buren, party to
get votes, under the imposing cognomen Of
"Smilie and Bank Refolm," The very
