ing the demise, at the City Hotel. Alexandria, on
Sunday morning, at l2k O'Clock, of CHARLOTTE
AUG USTA, second youngest daughter Of JOHN c.
and ANN E. BowrER, of that city, in the 18th year
OF her age. This lovely and interesting child, the
idol Of her parents heart, and the object Of the
affectionate regard Of all who knew her, for months
previous to her deat had been gradually snkin z
under disease, yet the artless sim pciy and charm
ing attractiveness of manner which characterized
her from her earliest girlhood, did not for mo-
msnt abandon her. Not murnur escaped her
lips during her long illness; resignation, blended
with the sweet expression Of hope that she would
be well in few days, shone upon her countenance
up to the very moment that her angelic spirit was
waited to its kindred home Like lovely flower,
blighted in its early bloom, she has passed away
but il is only to be transplanted in that garden of
celestial fragrance where she will live and bloom
forever.
Her remains were conveyed, by yesterday 3
mail boat, to Staunton, TO be deposited in the
family vault, where the ashes of her kindred re-
pose.

Henry CLAW,

By GEORGE ID. PRENTICE.
With voice and mien OF stern control
He stood among the great and proud,
And words of hre burst from his soul
Like Iightnings from the tempest cloud;
His high and deathless themes were crowned
With glory of his genius born.
And gloom and ruin darkly frowued
Where fell his bolts of wrath and scorn.
But he is gone, the free, the bold.
The champion of his country's right;
His burning eye is dim and cold,
And mute his voice of conscious might
On no, not mute-his stirring call
Can startle tyrants on their thrones,
And on the hearts of nations tall
More awful than his living tones.
The impulse that his spirit gave
To human thoughts wild, stormy sea,
VIII beaye and thrill through every wave
vi that great deep eternally;
And the all-clrchng atmosphere,
TN Wnic ID olent his breath of fame
Will sound, with cadence deep and clear.
In storm and calm, his voice and name.
His words that like a bugle blast
Erst rang along the Grecian shore,
Ano Ger the hoary Andes passed,
VIII stiil ring on for eyermore.
Great Liberty will catch the sounds,
And start to newer, brighter life,
And summon from Earth's utmost bounds
her children TO the glorious strife.
Unnumbered pilgrims Ger the wave,
In the far ages yet to be,
Will come to kneel beside his grave,
And hail him prophet of the free.
lis holier ground, that lowly Sed
In which his Wondering form is laid,
Than fields where Liberty has bled
Beside her broken battle-b blade.
Who now, in dangers fearful hour,
When all around is wild and dark,
Shall guard with voice, and arm of power,
Our freedoms consccrated ark?
With stricken hearts, Oh God, to Thee,
Beneath whose feet the stars are dust,
We bow, ard ask that Thou wilt be
Through every i'll our stay and trust.
