The lov'd-Oh brightly, gently,
She pass'd from earth away;
So vanishes from font and flower
The farewell light Of day
So fades from view, in eastern bowers,
A wing Of radiant hue!
And so a lingering star is lost
From mornings sky ofblue
Mourner, thou of the streaming eye,
Az break that spell of gloon,
En- though thy fond hearts dearest shrine
Lies veil'd within the tomb {:
Think of her blissful, sweet release,
The souls high triumph there,
And sav, oh woullst thou win her back,
Ear,h's sullying blight to share 3?

by the sight of Mr. Terrell's fur cap, which he
took for muskrat, let fly full discharge of
very sizeable shot, which lodged in the fore-
head, check, arm and leg of Mr. T., woundng
him very severely.
