quantities of liquor. But because arsenic in
small quantities produces only irritation Of the
eyelids and swelled face, while in larger doses

In this town, lst inst, OrIs B., son of Capt.
'ilas and Sarah NJ. Fitch, aged 8 months.
Sweet OrIs sleeps in the cold dark grave,
Meath the shade of the green elm tree;
Torn from the hearts that have cherished
him here,
He has gone with the angels to be.
We ne'er shall see his bright face again,
Nor his gentle heaving breast,
For meath the green and fertile plain
We have laid him down to rest.
His gentle voice is now hushed in death;
He has closed hls weary eyes,
The angels watched his latest breath,
And bore him to the skies.
Sleep, loved one, sleep, thou art gone from
us now;
Thy spirit has flown to its rest;
The angels have placed the crown Oh thy
brow,
And taught thee the'songs of the blest.
