The grssping hand of icy death
Has stricken down the old man eloquent,
Who whispers with his neeting breath,

To God and man in every duty true,
What has eternity for him OF fear,
The bliss of Heaven in his view,
Nought to regret in ell his efforts here;
Honored by all, by friends beloved,
Still TO the stern decree he meekly bent,
Firm trust in God his last words proved.

Although We belong TO no temperance order or

the Judges of this Court, some of them for the

will probably deny they ever intended any thing
of the kind, but they should reflect, that these
indirect and loose attacks. on men occupying the
