WHEN Is THE TIME TO DIE:


asked ,hr glad and happy child,
Whose hand, We're iiiled w!ia flowers,
Whose silvery laugh rang free and Wild
Among jhe vine wfea..:ed bowers;
Icfos,ed her sunny pa,h. and cried,

And swiftly bounded by.
asked maideu back she thew
The iresScs ni her haif;
Grief,- traces DER her cheeks knew,
Like pearls they giistened there;
A flush passed o'er her lily brow,
heard her Splri, sigh;
"Noi now" she cried, 80 no! not now;

asked mother, as she pressed
Uer first horn IN her arms,
As gently on her tender breast
She flushed her babes alarms;
In auivering tones her answer CAME
Her eyes were dim with tears:
"My boy his mothers life aust claim
For many, many years

His brow was turfowet not by time,

Bat Death, Who withe,S youth aud bloom,
This man of years had spared.
Once more his natures dying tire
Flashed high, az thus he cried;
ssLiir, only life, is my desire"
Then gasped, and groaned, and died.
i asked n Christian;-"Answer thou,
When Is the hour of death :"
A holy calm was on his brow
And peaceful. was his breath
And sweetly DER his features stole
\ smile, Il light divine;
He spake the language of his soni,-
"My Masters tine Is .n.Ho.'

We regret TO learn that Gary Selden, Esq, once
cherished member Of community, but for the last
25 years, resident of Washington, where at the time
of his DEATH he filled the Office of Naval Store keeper,
died on Friday night last. He commenced his career
in life, forty years ago 10 this Borough, in the pursuit
Of commerce, and soon after married in one OF our
most respectable families; but removed to Washington
about the year 1915. He was liberal minded, and
benevolent hearted gentleman and held in the kind
est regard by those who knew him best

a STRANGE VIsITER.-There 10
now lying at the wharf of Messrs.
Lawson, Howard and Co the queerest
looking steam water craft that ever con-
descended to pay Us visit. She came
in from Buffalo on Wednesday eve
ming at the rate of ten miles an hour.
She is nothing more or less than an
Erie Canal boat, propelled by small
but powerful engine, with a paddle
wheel astern, and a smoke pipe in the
centre. She is commanded by Capt.
p. HoTALING who proceeds with her
to Green Bay and from thence up the
Fox River, over the rapids, TO Fort
Winnebago. She is intended to ply reg
ularly between the latter place and the
rapids of Fox River, twenty miles
above Green Bay and will be adapted
to carry passengers and towing the
Durham boats ladened with lead,
which are transported up he Wiscon-
sin river 10 within one mile Of Fort
Winnebago; and this one mile is ell
the portage required between Galena
and New York, by way Of the Lakes.
The enterprise is a novel and a lauda-
bic one, and we have no doubt i. will
be crowned with success. Mr.. HoTA-
LING is a man of probity, and untiring
energy aud perseverance. We have
known him from our earliest boyhood,
aud we confidently believe and ardent
ly desire that his most sanguine antici-
palions may be reallized.-Detroit Adj
