Reply to the Foregoing.
BY A LADY OF BALTIMORE.

The dew of night may fall from Heaven
Upon the wthored roses bed,
And tears of fond regret be given
To mourn the virtues of the dead
Yet mornings sun the dows will dry;
And tears will fade from sorrows eye,
Affections pangs be lulled to sleep,
And even love forget 10 weep.
Tho tree may meurn its fallen leaf,
And autumn winds bewal its bloom,
And friends may heave the sigh of grief
O'er those who sleep within the tomb;
Yet soon will Spring renew the flowers,
And time will bring more smiling hours;
In friendships heart all grief will die,
And even love forget to sigh.
The sea may on the desert shore
Lament each trace it bears away;
The lonely heart its grief may pour
Oer cherished friendships fast decay;
Yet when all trace is lost and gone,
The waves dance bright and gaily on;
Thus soon affections bonds are torn,
And even love forgets to mourn.

case, prepared and administered a dose to
his patient, with the utmost confidence d
a speedy cure. No orelief being experienced ,
however, the gentleman sent for physician,
who, on arriving, inquired of the negro what
medicine he had given his master Bob
promptly responded Rosin and alum, sir. !"
"What did you give them for2" continued
the doctor. why replied Bob, ode alum
to draw dc parts togcdder, and dc rosin to
solder um." The patient eventually recov-
cred.
