decided by the Convention The Democrats of Indiana
will cheerfuly support either, although Gen. Lane is

this city, with piece of music composed by himsel
and recently published by A. Fiot, Philadelphia. Th
words are by Mrs. S. T. BoLroN, and the song is ded
Gated to Mrs. Mary B. Hammond. We have heard
sung, and regard both the air and accompaniment tn
best of Prof Downies compositions The words, whic
are truly beautiful, will be found below:
OLD TIME AS HE BURIED THE BEAUTIFUL HOURS.
Old time he buried the beautiful huors,
That faded away by thy side.
Enshrouded them all in bright leaves and fair flowers,
And give no hint when they died.
Their light fingers swept life's Eolian strings,
Too softly, too soon to depart,
But many jewel that fell from their wings
Is treasured away in my heart.
The angels have the tissue of life
OF mystical sunshine and shade
o, let us forget love- its and strife
And cherish its joys they fade
And let remember when love hold his reign,
To warm chill hearts in his glow,
And treasure the brightness he leaves in his train
To solace moments woe.
Thus love, in the dim twilight future afar,
When hope in sad hearts is dead,
The past, like the light of a radiant star,
Will brighten the pathway tread
Then give not sigh to the beautiful hours,
That brought no regret nor alloy;
Like fragrance that fingers around faded flowers,
Their mem'ry will still be JOY.
