To the mcmcry Of Mrs Alice winsow, who, with the
corpse Of her husband, (lIeury A. wipsIow,) found
a burial in the burning Lexington.
A crowd was there and the busy hum
Of life and JOY and swelling hope -
And death was there in bis narrow home
With shroud and pail and funeral note -
And the widow robed in weeds of woe
And her gushing plant was sad and low -
And hearts there swell'd with love and joy
And play'd with life as glittering toy;
But joys bright glance in shadow fell
And love recoiled from sorrows spell,
For what had death and grief to do
With those gay hearts in thersoft spring dew y
"A smiling future lures them on
And they from the scene of death are gone
Are gone 2--alas that anguished cry
As smoke and fame are gathering nigh:
O, the pent soul would scape and fly
But cannot mount unscathed on high !
Again they've met the spectre death
In wai'ry shroud, with flaming breath !
Despair hath crushed each buoyant hope
And JOY expired in waling hottest
But brighter scars each hallowed love
From lis funeral pyre TO realms above:
| All brighter scars but deeper rends
While life clings fast to loving friends
'Mong the sweet forms affection takes
Maternal love all peerless shines
For self is ofier'd on lis shrine.
30 sore my child" her fond heart cries,
In her own garments shrouds its form
| Then meekly meets life's last, dread storm
For the absent ioped, % who can know
How keen the pang of deaths last throe !
And where was she, that aridord one,
With heart already brushed and wrung ?
Sank she among the fear-sped crowd
Who rush'd into wat'ry shroud
Or hopeless clinEing to the burning wreck,
On the shrill meanings of the midnight air
4 Was borne her souls last agonizing pray'r Z
Or calmly knelt beside her dead
Whence, with high worth, her hopes were fed
o say was hers blessed boon
r Her husband TO rejoin so soon
Dark clouds have broken DER my fitful day
And shadows lengihen'd in hopes setting ray
Yet kindred souls or sympathising hearts hav'
risen,
With blessed light to guide and cheer through
shades of even.
And Alice, thou vert thus to me, bright, gaI
: how'r
! Shedding its summer fragrance in wintr,
J bow'r.
Thy smile a radiance seemed caught frou
above:
Tho dropped my hearts own joyous wing,
"My bird Of beauty" ceased to sing
And loves sweet flowers by fate's rude hand
Lay whitening on hopes thirsty sands,-
Oft the rich fulness of Thy song
J Poured from thy young hearts happy throng,
; Murmuring and sparkling like The desert spring
Would soothing iancies round roe bring,
Till my own heart could mount and sing,
From the bright Eden-of my SOUL
Where thou halow'd place dost hold,
Fond mem'ry now, all palid, brings
, Thy hopes, thy joys, thy love tuned song
For thou, with them art crush'd aud gone
But oh, be mine the soothing hope
i. And be il theirs " no on thee date
, From the gross relics Of Thy funeral pyre
: Heayenward hath SCARED thy spirits nober fires

lion on which he stood, broke off from the
main body, and aoated out into the stream

Der, near the head OF Goat Island, and be-
tween that and the Canada shore. No per-
son has ever been on the island except when
the ice lodges around its head, and forms a
kind OF dam, which admits of a hazardous
passage. AT the present time the river is as
open as in midsummer, yet Robinson, who
distinguished himself last summer by his
daring in rescuing Chaplin, resolved 10 go over
in boat and bring the deer of, He made the
attempt, but was not able 10 gain the island

contending with the strong current. one oar
broke, and with the speed of race horse
they were instantly hurried toward the brink
Of the precipice. AS they passed over small
bar Conklin jumped out, and succeeded in
stopping the boat the water being only about
waist deep After regaining their presence
of mind, they started again, and by means OIL

Insurance Company.

"HlS Company was organized the 18th
Il day of August last, since which time the
Directors have effected insurance upon property
of different kinds, in this County, TO n much
larger amount than was anticipated at the period
ofits organization. Applications for insurance
upon extra hazardous property, like Tanneries,
Paper Mills, and Factories, have in all cases
been rejected.
Amount of property insured, Sl55,Ssl 66
Amount Of premium notes received, l0,l69 81
Amount OF per cent received ON
premium notes, sos 04
No. of Policies issued, 202.
Eight applications, amounting TO $500,
already remain in the Office Of the Secretary,
upon which, when approved, Policies will be
issued, which will increase the amount of pro-
perry to Si6l, 1881 &C, and the number Of poll
ces TO 49,
Only 90 Stores, Taverns, Shops and Mills
have been insured which, il will be seen, is
less than one tenth of the whole number of
policies issued. Nine teDths and more of the
property insured by this Company, consists ex-
clusvely of dwelling-houses in villages, farm
houses, together with barns and sheds, inc!ud-
ing the hay, grain, and ordinary produce OF
the farm.
The State Company, at its annual meeting
in October last, passed a resolution instructing
! its Directors TO cancel all policies which might
| be forwarded TO the Secretary Tor that purpose,
so that any individual member of said Company
who is DESTROYS of changing his insurance. can
readily effect the same by transmitting his
policy by mail to the Secretary, at Montpelier
accompanied with request that the same be
cancelled, and simultaneously prepare and for
ward through some agent, an application fol
insurance at this office.
AT least four-fiths of the policies issued by
this Company since its organization in August
last, have been taken by the inhabitants Of
Rockingham, Westminster, Putney, Newfans
aud Wilmington. If the proverbiay pruden,
and careful farmers and house-hoders of these
wealthytowns have actedwsely in this respect
to all others in different sections of the County
we would respectfully say, $50 thou ard dc
