Dost not remember, Mary dear,
Laid low beneath the sod,
Who died, and friends kneeled round h
bier,
In fervent prayer to God
Oh, many happy hours I've known,
Before that sad, sad day,
When Mary to her heavenly home,
From US was borne away.
In childlike innocence and love,
We often hand in hand,
From scene to scene were wont to rove,
A youthful, happy band;
While Mary's laugh. so loud and clear,
Would make the welkin ring,
But now alas, we shed a tear
On her low grave, poor thing.
Dost not remember, Mary dear,
The pride of all the rest
Whose presence always banished care,
Who now In Heaven, is blest
Oh yesl and all were happy then,
Ere sorrow was or guile,
But cruel death 1.-THE dread of menl
Took hence the darling child.
A Savior claimed our Mary dear,
Ajewel for His crown;
And with the angels bright and fair,
She worships round the throne;
Then let US longer cease to sigh,
AND strive to make our home,
Reyond the blue-the starlit sky,
Where Mary dear has gone.

tolls and supporting and encouraging him in
his labors of love. While among us, she oc-
casionally wrote letters to the Cincinnati

paper from one of which we make the follow

complimentary words respecting our humble
self, but we are too modest a man to copy
them here. Mrs. c. says of our State and
people:
I'VE are agreeably disappointed in the
Old North State-like the country and peo.
pie exceedingly. The weather is delightful;
roses in full bloom of every variety and hue
strawberries, peas, etc., in abundance. The
people are very cordial and enthusiastic in
their welcome to US. Unlike Virginia, they
have few first families or rather, they
are all first families no distinction of class

se To our friends in our sister Southern
States generally, we feel that an acknowl-
edgement of our thanks is due for the hand
some manner they have come to our support
within the last few months. From Virginia,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas and Flori-
da we have received many subscribers du-
ring the present year. We trust we shall
still have the hearty cooperation of our
warm-hearted friends in those States in ex-
tending the circulation of our paper. We
promise to use our best exertions to give them
a No. l temperance, family, literary paper,
at less cost than they can get one of similar
dimensions in the country. Give US your
help, friends.
