ter an illness of lew days confinement,
though OF lingering disease, Francis BauAd,
IA the zlst year OF his age.
Pour through the gloom thy weeping song /;
-FOUR all thy dying melody of grief"
" The conflicts DER, stern death who conquers
vi woman born has clos'd her patient eyes /:
Love, friendship, innocence, lament his fall,
WIN snrrows tears, aud heartfelt saddest
signs"
And yet itseems but yesterday since saw
him in the full bloom of buoyant youth, with
hope and bright anticipations of the future
written upon his youthful brow. But, alas |!
they were doomed to be blighted The shaft
oil death was sped on its errand OF destruc-
ton.
"And it found him content, and his cheek it
grew pale,
And he dropped like lilly broke down by
the hail.
He died with mild, resigned and gentle
caimness. He died Ike an infant going to
rest upon its mothers bosom, with the sol
whisperings OF angels how ering around hi,n
Aud there sat upon his face calm and beau
tiul smile And there played around his
mouth sweet, angelic look OF heaven-lke
happiness. And

| Born with submission to Heavens lust com

And the clark valleys where the shadows
lie" appeared in the distance, and the Spiri
and the bride said come, and his soul winged
its way to the spirit land, where the weary
are at rest, and the heavy laden comiorted.-
The place that knew him once will know hin
no more. The clods OF the valley will res
upon his young and generous bosom. The
winds will sigh mournlully over his youthful
grave, 4aHenting his early end.
And let his faults--lor the very best have
them-be forgotten, his vlrtues-and man,
had he, for there was none more generous
none more honorable none more trustworthy
none more full of noble and vrtuous impu
ses-be all cherished and remembered will
fond and endearing recollection.
He was young. His path of life had hard
ly begun. Scarcely had he fitted himself TO
enbarking in the busy scenes of active life
scarcely had he rounded that most interesting
of all our years, the age Of sweet twenty-one
ere the fell destroyer, Consumption, laid it
whitening and bighted hand upon him, ant
he sunk under it as would rose upon the
burning deserts.
And he hath gone-hath left this world,
world OF many tears and woe;
He dweleth in arer land,
Where joys and pleasures ever flow.
And may it be an harbinger to his surviving
friends, to prepare themselves to pass through
the valley OF death, and enter into the un-
speakable delights and joyful communions o.
Heaven.
Farewell dear shade, Unconscious now o
pain,
Above the reach of ev'ry evil PLACID;
From memory shall thy image long retain,
From friendships bosom it ne'er shall b.
etiaced. A. II.
