DAILY EVENING STAR.


POPULAR song, WRITTEN BIZ H. s. THOMPSON.
Twas calm, still night, and the moons pale light
Shone soft ON hill and vale,
When friends mute with grief stood around the
death bed
OF my poor lost Lilly Dale.
Chorus.-Oh! Lilly, sweet Lilly, dear Lilly Dale.
Now the wild rose blossoms DER her lit
tie green grave,
Meath the trees in the f1ow'ry vale.
Her cheeks that once glowd, with the rose tint Of
health,
BY the hand of disease had turn'd pale,
And the death damp was the pure white brow,
Of my poor lost Lilly Dale.
Chorus.-Oh! Lilly, sweet Lilly, &c.
|" co." she said, "to the land of rest,
And ere my strength shall fail,
l must tell you where, near my own loved home.
You must lay poor Lilly Dale'
Chorus.-Oh! Lilly, sweet Lilly, &c.
Meath the chestnut tree, where the wild flowers
grow,
And the stream ripples forth through the vale.
Where the birds shall warbe their songs in spring,
There lay poor Lilly Dale.
Chorus.-Oh! Lilly, sweet Lilly, &c.

The deacon accordingly hastened to call
Doctor Stubbs, young man who had come
into the place short time before, with a
high reputation, but not a favorite with the
deacon and his family, on account of his be-

"Yes," said Doctor Stubs, "but there

close, the deacon called them, saying he be-

the room and FASTENED to the bedside.

the patient, "those are dying struggles;
in short time all her troubles in this life
will be over"
The patient sunk gradually and quietly
away, and in the course of two hours after
the arrival of Doctor Stubbs, all signs of life
were gone.
"The Lords will be DONE" said the dea-
con, as he stood by the bed, and saw her
chest heave for the last time.
Mrs. Gray sat in the corner of the room
with her apron to her face weeping aloud.
