And in the grave will soon lie,
My soul will fly to God above,
Where all is peace and JOY and love.

Oh Father did think it would be so,
That when your voice reached me below
Come put thy house in order, now,
am prepared to fill my vow,
"A servant true, and just you've been,
Your conduct has not passed unseen,
Prepare to meet your God and Lord
Prepare to receive thy just reward"
To think that now | yet would pause,
Apparently without just cause,
Oh take my wife and children too,
Let all, my Father, go to you.

The future neither do fear,
But let us ;ll together be,
When now thou caIest me to thee.
Forgive, oh Father this request,
From one whom thou hast ever bless'd,
Eut those thou gavcst in my care,
Without me nc'er would be happy here.
But thou, o. God, art Just and true,
Whate'er is right, that wilt thou do;

COERCION IN THE LOWELL MTLLs--Yesterday
in the house, A r. Brown, of Lowell, offered
the following order:
That special committee Of FIVE on the part
Of the house, with such as the senate may Join,
be appointed with full powers 10 send for persons
and papers TO inquire what attempts, IT. any,
have been made by any Of the incorporated com.
panies in Lowell, their agents and other oficers,
unduy to influence any Of the citizens Of said
city, in the exercise Of their elective franchise
during the tendency Of the late elections in that
city; or what If any influence has been exerted
by said companies, their agents or other officers,
10 prevent a true representation Of The wishes

Before the adjournment, Mr. Kellogg, of Pitts
field. moved a reconsideration of the vote by
which the order was adopted, and this motion
will come up to-day, the first thing in the or.
ders Of the. day. We are rather curious TO see
what pretexts the Wings will give for sitting

Professor BAcHE requested TO be permitted, be-
fore putting heresolutions which had been offered,
TO speak briefly OF the career and services Of Mr..
Gluck in the Coast Survey, as they impressed
themselves upon his mind. Ii was impossible that
a man should have more entirely thrown his whole
heart into a career than Mr.. Gluck had done in
his. Always ready, jealous, active, Industrious,
seeking opportunities Of usefulness, and filling each
position which offered, he was thorough man for
work. As a topographer, he had no superiors.
With these sturdy working qualities were mingled
life and gayety, which made the peculiar charm
OF his character, so well described by the single
word debonnairt and endeared him 10 aIl who were
associated with him. II was this quality which
attracted even strangers, men of the strongest
minds, and ladies' Of high cultivation, towards him;
which made him at home, when working in the
neighborlrood Of Boston harbor, in such families
as those Of the venerable John Quincy Adams and
Of President Quincy Of Harvard. Devoted to his
profession, he inspired the intelligent with por-
ton Of his own regard for 1t, and for the work with
which he so Thoroughly identified himself.
Though not born among us, Mr. Gluck was en-
tirely ofus and il needed not the pledges family
and domestic ties, which he had given, TO make
as sure Of his full devotion to his adopted country
A devoted, generous, and dutiful son, and most az
fectionae brother he could rest until his far
Their and his brothers had known the daughter and
sister whom he bad presented to them and the
last days OF the aged farther were cheered by the
reunion Of scattered family. May Heaven tenn
per to the loving wife this sad. sad dispensation.
We who have known and loved the husband share
in the sorrows we cannot alleviate.

In Manchester yesterday business was little
