lam all alone IN my chamber now.
And the midnight hour is near,
And the faggot's crack, and the clocks dun tick
Are the only sounds hear.
And over my soul in its solitude
Sweet feelings of sadness glide
For my heart and my eyes full when think
Ola little boy that died.
| went one night to my fathers house
Went home TO the dear ones nli;
And softly opened the garden gate,
And softly the door Of the hall
NV mother came out to meet her SON
She kissed me, and then she sighed
And her head fell on my neck, and she wept
For the little boy that died
shall miss him when the flowers come
In the garden where he played;
! shall miss him more by the fre-side
When the flowers have all decayed
shall see his toys. and his empty chair,
And the horse he used to ride;
And they will speak, with silent speech,
Of the little boy that died.
| shall see his little sister again
WthLer playmaies about the door;
And III watch the children in their sports
As I never did before;
And if, in the gcoup. | see a child
That dimpled and lang ghing-eyed
III look to see if il may not be
The little boy that died.
We shall all go home to our Fathers house
To cur Fathers house in the skies,
Where the hope Of our souls shall have no blight
Our love no broken ties;
We shall roam on the banks of the River Of p Peac,
And bathe in its blissful tide;
And one of the joys of our Heaven shall be
The little boy that died

reasoning was sure to prevail When the
facts were ascertained the decision might
be with confidence anticipated; and the
experienced advocate knew when to sit
down, his cause being either secure or
hopeless. The consequence was that bu-
siness was done, not only with certainty,
but celebrity; and men making many thou
sands a year had some leisure both for re-
creation and elegant literature. We need
not wonderthat, being prosperous and hap
py under him, they were eager to pay him
homage, and that they exulted in his pater-
nal sway. We may form notion of the
love and respect with which he was re-
garded'from the following appeal to him.
when we know that the speaker was Frs
kline. the most fearless and independent of
men, addressing himin the case Of the Dean
of st. Asaph:
al am one of those said he, who
could almost lull myself by these reAec-
lions from the apprehension Of immediate
mischief, even from the law oflibel laid
down by your lordship. if you were al
ways TO continue to administer it yourself
| should feel protection in the gentleness
Of your character; in the love of justice
which its own intrinsic excellence forces
upon mind enlightened by science and en-
larged by liberal education; and in that
dignity of disposition which grows with
the growth of an illustrious reputation and
becomes sort of pledge TO the public for
security. But such security is shadow
which passeth away. You cannot, my
Lord, be immortal; and how can you an
swer for your successor? If you maintain
the doctrines which seek to overturn,
you render yourself responsible for all the
abuses that may follow from them to our
latest posterlty.."
