For the Grand River Times.
HE rs GONE!

NE rs GONE!
Death claims a silent tear; who will weer
with me beside poor mans grave?
Slowly, and solemnly the tolling bell tells
us that brother has gone to his long home
and as the sad reverberations die along the dis
tant hills, echo family murmurs, "He is
gone"
The morning dawned upon him bright and
beautiful, but at midday, when the merry
hum of business, and the cheerful voices Of
his fellow men rang merrily in his ear, the 81
lent summons came to him. he went down.
and the cold, blue waves closed over him!
Oh! who can tell the agony of the fond
wife and mother, when this melancholy intel
ligence first reached her ears 4? when she came
to realize that she was bereft of her husband
and her four children of their father? Tho
grief may shed her bitter tears in silence, and
alone, yet tears of human sympathy will fall
Oh, God in mercy be the widows Friend
a Father te her hel pless little ones!
He is gone! but memory will linger round
his grave. The fond husband will lone be
missed by one sad heart made desolate, and
by children who never knew fathers care,
or learned to lisp fathers name. And the
honest ferry-man will be missed, too, by the
many, for whom he ever had pleasant smile.
But who will give to memory tear?
Oh! to die and be forgotten! to be forgot
ten ere the grass springs green above our
graves. No! rather will we cling to life,
when love and hope is dead, and every other
tie that binds us here is severed!
When l am gone, shall | be missed? Shall
| be missed when many years have cast their
shadows DER my grave? when my voice is
heard no more on earth, but the cold, damp
earth presses heavily upon me-when this
frail tenement has mouldered back to dust
will love, and friendships mingled tears pay
tribute to my memory?
Missed when am gonol There is naught
in death that is terrible, or in the silent grave
from which the timid soul can shrink. Oh,
| would love to lay this weary, aching head
upon the bosom of my mother earth; to rest
where sorrow has no power DER the heart,
and care cannot corrode.
But 0, to die and be forgotten! To have
the friends whom | now love-whose every
word finds glad echo in my heart-pause
but one moment by my open grave and muir
muir, " She is gone" then 90 away and think
no more of mel
Oh, the grave! the cold, relentless grave
Is this to be the end of all our brightest
hopes? and must the soul dismiss its longing
after joys immortal, ere it enters Deaths dark
portal! Then what is life but disappointed
hope? and death but the setting of life's
great sun?
Cease, troubled soul be still There is
a bright and pure heaven beyond; a heaven
Of eternal rest. No sin has entered there.
and nothing is forgotten for book of ever
lasting remembrance is kept. There can the
weary soul battle in the fountain of eternal
love. Oh, blissful immortality! BE this my
happy lott VIOLET.

The ALBANY Ereninr Jour of Saturday comes
TO printed on paper made Of shavings Of bass
wood. 1t is white, with very slight yellowish
tinge,-so slight, however, as in no degree TO
affect its appearance, value, and thick and
firm. Il feels very much ike the paper used
by the English press lacking, probably, a little
OF the solidity of that When first took up
the Journal, we though the proprIetors had been
getting better quality of paper, than the hard
times would justify, and rather wondered at their
extravaganza. But we soon saw a streak of red
ink, which led us into the secret of the mprov-
mcnt. The streak in question surrounded an
article of which the following is the gist. We
may premise that the discovereI of this most inn
portant article, is named BEARDsLEE:
The paper Is made from pulp produced from
Basswood' shaviugs, of peculiar form, thrown
off by Mr., Beardsee's planning machine, which

whatever, nor sizing. It's from the pure wood

by guage pumps, the consequence Of which was
such irregular feeding TO produce slightly II
regular thickness of paper. The paper has also
been used, with perfect success, by Mr. Gavlt,
for transferring fine line engravcn5-a result
which cannot be attained by any other ordinary
newspaper.
But Mr. B. is not restricted to Basswood.-
He has made experiments which Seaye no doubt
upon his mind that paper of texture even su-
perior to tina. which he has already produced
from that wood, be produced from other ma

Three fast young rakes, citizens of Marion

with committing rape upon the person of mar
r;ed woman, on the Els, of las. month. Theil
names are given TO as Anthony Roherty, and
Newman. They first administered chloroform to
the lady, producing physical debility, before at
tempting the outrage
An affidavit was filed for change Of venue,
which was granted, and the case sent to ESQ
Bryan, of this place. Newman gave bail in tie
sum Of $4,000 for his appearance before Esq
Bryan on Saturday next, Ito morrow y the other
two, in default Of bail. were committed TO prison
On Saturday writ of habeas corpus was sued
out before Judge Cobb, in the case of Anthony
and Roherty and it being proved that the Nit
Gmus was defective, they were discharged from
custody. But this was scarce done when new
affidavit was filed, and the parties arrested and
taken before Esq. Bryan, when they gave bail in
the sum OF $4,000 each, for their appearance be-
fore hin 10 morrow, for an examination OF the
charge.
We learn that high degree of excitement ex-
lists in the neighborhood where the outrage is
said TO have been committed, and we should no,
be surprised to learn that more summary pun
ishment had been resorted to before the time Sc,
