This interesting and intelligent young
man, left home some months since, attend

the winter on the island of Cuba but from
his great and increasing debility he was ad-
vised by his medical attendants not to un-

Near Farmington, in Marshall county,
on the 18th instant, after an illness oe %
days, ALBERT T., only son of Clark c. and
Mary E. White, aged 20 months and IL
days.
Little Albert was promising and inter-
esting boy; but like the early rose. nipped
in the bud, his innocent and youthful spirit
has early flown. and left his sadly bereaved
parents to mourn their early loss. with many
relations and friends, who deeply sympathise
with them in .heir bereavement.
Thus fades the lovely blooming boy
Sweet kindred tic of earthly JOY.
Like the nippi rise bef re flown
His youthful soul from earth has flown.
His happy spirit has sought home,
Far. far above this earthly dome,
Which holds his tenements of clay
Resting until the judgment day.
The ever greens and sweet woodbines.
With roses twined. his tomb enshrine,
And from a cool and shady bower,
Mementoes OF his youthful hour.
Bat at the resurrection morn,
His happy spirit shall return.
And join his body raised in power.
With kindred friends to part no more.
A FRIEND.

If atrocious, unsparing SANDER will de-
feat candidate, then there can be no help
for Clay. OF all the above charges against
him, it is only true that he, being at Louis
vile awaiting since the night before boat
for N. Orleans, did take passage in one
which left on Sunday. Many will con-
denim this, yet we doubt not he had thus a
better opportunity TO keep the Sabbath than
he could do in a strange city surrounded By
friends. True, the steamboat arrived at
New Orleans on Sunday. but how could a
passenger help that2 II was said that the
Military were called out on the occasion
