POETRY Y.
THE WITHERED FLOWERS.

/ knew they would perish!-
Those beautiful flowers!-
As the hopes that we cherish
In youths sunny bowers
knew they'd be faded
Though with fond gentle care
Their bright leaves were shaded,
Decay was still there.
So all that is brightest
Ever first fades away,
And the joys that leap lightest
The earliest decay.
The heart that was nearest
The widest will rive,
And the friend that was dearest
The first cease to love.
And the purest, the noblest,
The loveliest-we know
Are ever the surest,
The soonest, to 60,
The bird that sings sweetest,
The flower most pure,
In their beauty are f1eetest,
In their fate the most sure.
Yet still though thy flowers
Are withered and gone,
They will live like some hours
In memory alone.
In that hallow'd shrine only
Sleep things we would cherish,
Pure, priceless, loved. lonely,
They never can perish.
Then I'll mourn We no more
Ie pale leaves that are shed,
Though your brightness is DER,
Your perfume is not fled;
And like thine own dromd-
The spirit of flowers
Remembrance will hover
Ger IKE grave of past hours.

Cherokee's reputation is 30 well established, and his
character so generally known, that it is almost useless
to say any thing about the purity of his blood, or the per.
formancs of his colts; tut - there may be persons who
have not noticed his pedigree, il will only be necessary

he cannot be surpassed by any horse, but a. it 10 pre-

anime for themselves, it il unnecessary 10 give any
further description. For the performance Of his colts,
the subscriber would beg leave to refer gentlemen to
the American Turf Register, or the Spirit of the Times
where il will be seen that his colts won almost every
important race in Ky, in the year 1886. to wit: the four
mile day al Lexington, the three mile day at Louisville,
and three mile day at Richmond. reside many other
mile and two mile heats.
Cherokee stood for many years in the vicinity OF Lex
iDgton Ky, and was purchased in 1886, by a company
who removed him to Greensburg, in the southern part
of tho state, where he remained until brought by the
subscriber TO Missouri. The colts which he got while
standing at Greensburg, were considered superior to any
their engagements last fall, and received many premi-
ums. which were awarded by The difiereut agricultural
societies of that country.

OBITU AIRY.
COMMUNICATED.

DIED, in Stanton, on the 10Th inst. Mr..
SMITH THOMPSON, in his 92nd wear.
The deceased was Scotchman by birth, but
came to this country some years before the
revolutionary war, in which he engaged at
an early period and continued in active and eff
ficient service until after the seige of York
town. His compatriots in arms always spoke
OF and counted him as truly brave and zeal
Gus patriot. In private life he was very HIGH
iy esteemed for his scrupulous integrity and
sincere benevolence; though for a few wears
past pensioner upon the stinted bounty of
his country, yet he would never withhold a
portion of his pittance from poverty and suf-
fering, but would often deny hirnseIfthe COM
forts necessary to his age and infrmities that
his generous heart might be gratified in re-
lieving the distresses Of others. He has left
an aged widow to whom he was most devot-
edly attached, and whose unremittinp and af
fectionate attention to him, bespeak alike his
worth and her virtues.
His remains were consigned to the Grave
with respect and solemnity appropriate to
such an occasion. The clergy of the various
denominations, the officers Of the 32nd and
ODD Regiments, theStaunton Light Infantry
company, the Masonic brethren, and the
citizens of the town and neighborhood COM
posing the largest procession ever witness
sed in Stanton.
