How many now are dead to me
Who live to others yet
How many are alive to me
Who cIumble in the dust, nor see
That sickning, sinking look which We
Till dead can ne FER forget.
Beyond the blue seas, far away,
Most wretchedly alone,
One died in prison-lar away,
Where stone on stone shut out the day,
And never hope nor comforts ray
In his lone dungeon shore.
Dead to the world, alive to mo,
Though months and years have pass'd
In lone hour his sight to me
Comes like the hum of some wild bee,
And then his form and face see,
AS when saw him last,
And one with bright lip, and cheek,
And eye is dead to me,
How pale the bloom of his smooth cheek!
His lip was cold-it would not speak,
His heart was dead, for it did not break,
And his eye, for it did not see.
Then for the living by the tomb,
And for the dead the smile;
Engrave oblivion on the tomb
Ofpplseless life and deadly bloom
Dim in such glare-but brig hit the gloom
Around thy funeral pile.

The origin of the phrase, mimi uour P's and

chalk scores were formerly marked upon the wall,
1t was customary TO put these initial letters at the
head of every mans account, to show the number
Of PiatS and Quarts for which he was in arrears:
and we may presume many friendly rustic to have
