P9gg'g G9aNgR,
FOR the SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
THE WEDDING.

flew numerous, o. inconstant life,
The changes of thy wheel:
And friend, and father, husband, wife,
Shall each thy sorrows feel.
How oft thy changes separate
Whom love and nature bind
And pensive souls do mediate
On those they've left behind.
A v~irtuous maiden's change in life,
Has called her from our view,
Who to become q virtuous wife,
Has bid her friends adieu.
With them she bore a faithful part
Afectionatc and kind,
And much endeared to many a heart,
She now has left behind.
Beside tho bod Of sickness, where
Affection sore did reign,
Her helping hand was ready there
To soothc the sufferers pain.
Distress wherc'er it did appear
Was sure her help to find,
Which long shall make her memory dear
To some she's left behind.
But chiefly in her home was proved
Her faithfulness and zeal,
And those from whom she has removed,
Her loss will sorely feel.
Yea, when in seasons deeply tried,
A vacancy will find,
OF that the loss may be supplied
By some she's left behind.
And tho her path was much unseen,
Her exercise unknown,
And tho her feelings oft have been
As one hat walked alone:
In mem'ry oft her friends shall como
Before her pensive mind,
And sympathy DO felt with some
She now has left behind.
And ah! the peaceful roof so sweet,
The nursery of her youth,
A hospitable, kind retreat,
To all who love the truth
The dearest ties of life arc here,
Yea, aged parents kind,
Of earthly objects still most dear,
OF all she's left behind.
Nor soon shall she forget when there,
Her relatives around,
In social band assembled were,
The day the nuptials crowned
The parting scene may also dwell
At times upon her mind,
A most affectionate farewell
To those she's left behind.
And many a face in likeness true,
To memory shall be brought,
And scenes familiar to her view
Shall meet the mind u%nsought:
This may q gloomy thought cxpel,
Intruding on the mind,
For memory fond delights to dwell,
On scenes we've left behind.
And be assured, who dost peruss
Those tributary lines,
The uninstructcd artless muse
No Hattery designs:
An humble tribute of respect,
The illusions of the mind,
With some concern led to reflect,
On those she's left behind.
o! may protection be her lot,
The humble bard now prays,
And may she with the spouse she's g
See many peaceful days:
Al4faals~ dispose. 2 wish to drop.-
That when she so can find,
A secret prayer may be put up
For those she's left behind.
That when within this vale Of tears
Their pilgrimage is DER,
And this life's changes, hopes and fe;
To her shall be no more:
With them upon the blissfuI shore,
She may again be joined,
And meier be separated more,
From those she's left behind.
I'm
