'TisSweetrto hear the rain with pattering feet
Make music on the house-top, and at night,
Hear the low laughter of the wind; It's sweet
To feel loved one kiss u.s. soft and light,
The while we fegn to be, or seeni asleep;
u lis very sweet, it's strangely sweet to feel
A warm tear sudden on our casped hand leap
AS bowed head puts there affections seal
IT'S sweet to love, tho even in despair
(. To merge the world into one beings life,
And find all Joy, all hope ambition there
'Tis sweet to have the whole heart Of wife;
'Tis sweet to see and hear fair children play,
And deem our own the iairest Of them all ag5
Tis sweet to watch the gradual dawn Of day; ft,s
'Tis sweet to hear the hunters bugle-call.
'Tis sweet 10 hear farewell" |" when il is uttered
By one whose low voice trembles---for there be

To feel no thorns beneath the smiling flowers; M

As tony leaving town at this advanced stage
Of the disease, think il would be very i'm
prudent. 1t is thought every one who will
take the fever, will have il whether they 60
away or stay in the city, as we all have the
disease in our system more or less. The dis
sease is an epidemic all over the city to les
ser or greater extent. In the cases where per-
sons have been living or frequenting Main and
south of Mainstreet, the disease has been moro
fatal. 1 sincerely wishI was out Of the place;
to be pent up in this place at this time is aw-
full; and instead Of getting better, it gets
worse. They cannot get graves dug fast enough
for the dead the deaths having gone up to
fifty per day. If one goes out, there is moth
ing to be seen but the doctors hacks, and hear
ses engaged in burying the dead, and some
times carts are employed, and carry two at
time. My family have escaped the dreadful
scourge SO far. There are very few families
who have remained in town in which some of
them have not died, or have been or arc sick.
