From perusal Of % much Of the proceed

ed, where the desire and determination wcro
stronger, for Cancellation, harmony and Union. "

Some twenty summers Ger thine head,
Have rool'd and left the trace,
OF Natures fairest stamp,
On form, on mind and face;
Thy face is like the morn,
Fresh, as the spring time flower
Stainless as dew upon the rose
Bright as tie moon lit hour.
The whit ess"f thine pearly brow,
The blush upon thy chsek,
Are embIems Of thine innocence,
Thy hearts revealinga sp ak.
Thy smile is sparkling as tn Hudson,
Which fowe'h by tiny door,
Thy voice as sweet as the breeze,
Which fans the fowery moor.
The flashing Of thine sparkling eye,
Is like the lightnings play,
Which Eliminates nights darken'd hour,
Lights up its somhre grey.
