that "Mr. Clay's benea candidate, depends up

And Innocence, found rest.

For she was AT my side:
But ali! one night Deaths angel came,
Aud stole away my Bride.
Then darkened grew the Heaven above,
And cold the Earth below,
And heavily the days went by
Nor cased my weight Of woe,
Till years had passed. and then, one morn
There came across my way,
A hrng-Oh! 50 like the one
Deaths angel stole away.
With Joy my heart sprang forth to meet
And claim her for lis own,
And meath her gentle smile forgot
That it was all alone.
And now, this being fair and bright,
Who very dear hath grown,

Again all sad and lone.
