out his entire interest in the Real Estate
Banking Company of this place, to the balance
of the then Stockholders thereof and from that

1t was asserted and confidently believed, at

out his entire interest to the Company, without

NOTHING TRUE BUT HEAVEN.
The faithless worlds promiscuous flow,
ATured by fancy's vision,
The smiles of JOY, the tears of woe.
Decetflll shine, deceilful flow,
There is nothing true but Heaven.
Fine gold viii change, and diamonds fail,
Swift wings to wealth are given,
All varying times our forms invade,
The seasons roll, light sinks in shade,
There is nothing firm but Heaven.
Creations mighty fabric all,
VIII be to atoms riven,
Thcstars dispense, the planets fall,
Commissions rock this earthly ball,
There is nothing lasts bu; Heaven.
Empires decay and nations die,
Our hopes to winds are given,
The vernal bloom in ruin lies,
Death reigns DER all below the skies,
There is nothing lives but Heaven.
The world is poor from shore TO shore,
And like baseless vision,
Its lofty domes, and shining ore,
And glttsring gems are mean and poor,
There nothing rich but Heaven.
A stranger in this world unknown,
From place to place, I'm driven,
My friends are gone and I'm in gloom,
And swiftly passing to the tomb,
To find home in Heaven.
Times fading g!ores disappear,
Like changing hues Of evening,
Triumphant grace has quell'd my fears,
Roll on We suns, fly swift We years.
And bring me safe to Heaven,
Adieu, all earthly things adieu,
Ny sins are all forgiven,
The charms Of Christ have caught my view
And on 10 glory III pursue,
To fad a home in Heaven.
