1t is natural, upon the demise of friend, to
dwell with melancholy reflection upon the viz
tues which engaged our esteem and adrnira-

OF but few men to be blessed with such COM

were calculated to make those about her happy.
She was loved and very highly esteemed by
large circle Of friends and relations. She has
left kind and devoted husband to mourn his
irreparabe loss, and an affectionate mother, ia
iher, sisters and brothers to lament the loss, at
so early an age, of an affectionate and devoted
sister May her spotless spirit forever dwell
in the clear upper skies. ANXIOUS.

For the Portage Sentinel
sP Rim G..

Sping's sunny days have come again.
The blithsoms and the free;
And ev'ry hill side, tree and plain
Is vocal with its glee.
The birds have spread their azure wings
Beneath the gorgeous skies;
And flowers from lawn and meadow spring.
With rich and brilliant dyes.
The streamlot, winding hfough the DALE
Breaths forth its melody;
The signing of the perfam'd gale
Is waited o'er the lea.
On sv'ry sido are seen the flowers
Each bright and happy thing
The offering Of the sunny hours
That usher in the spring.
The murmur Of the cascades fall,
That comes upon The breeze,
The music Of the mock birds call,
From ont the lofty trees.
The song from mountain and from hill,
That strikes upon the ear,
From river fountain and from rill--
Tell spring, sweet spring is here.

Dow, JR, discourses like book with
a red kiuer,' upon the folly of the world.
Hear him:
"We strip Pleasure to the skin-take
her cloak, frock, bonnet, hustle, and al
rob her Of every charm-and then sa,
there is no such thing as pleasure IN the
world! We extinguish the torch that
hope holds in her hand, and follow lights
ming hugs into mud puddle! By super
lative folly, you frighten Happiness from
your firesides, and then say that she has
cleft your bed and board without cause
or provocation. Thus man makes hills
to tire himself with in cimbing-produ-
ces darkness to grumble about-creates
corns to swear at-aud puts difficulties in
his path in order that he may struggle
with them! Well. my friends. if you
can't move without first setting fire to
your shirts, all | have to say is, blaze
away-any thing to give you start"
