For the Chronicle.

''' For the Chronicle.
To the memory of Mrs. Miriam Barnard
who departed this life on the 9Th inst.
-,, aged 30 years and Q months.
When sickness with some dread disease draws nea
And those we love arc languishing in pain,
We deem it hard, that we must yield them up,
When all our healing arts are tried in vain;
But when unlocked for, and all unforeseen
The pitcher at the fountain head is broke,
So quickly Is the silver chord unloosed
The blow that falls seems like double stroke.
Thus was it with our loved, and lovely friend,
No warning come to tell her Death was near;
No time was left for forewells to be given,
No parting words, the mourners' hearts'o cheer
She walked at evening buoyant, and in health,
The morning dswned upon her ifeless clay;
For suddenly, and at the noon Of night
The angel came to beckon her away.
Only to him her loved and chosen one,
One farewell look sc earnestly was given;
Though other friends were summond none were
near .t ... .......
Until the tie that boundto Earth was riven.
"A vile and mother, name so doubly dear,
A cherished sister, priceless was her worth
TO those who knew, and loved to have her near,
They ne'er may meet her like again on Earth.
Bameless and pure, she meekly went her way.
Loved and esteemed, by those who knew her
best; ..
But kindred ties wifi strengen, when the blow
Strikes deep chord responsive in each breast,-
We gazed in silence on that palIid face,T
And felt that death had stamped his impress
there,
Then to our duty, and with stricken hearts;
Performed the last sad rites with'every care.
Smsothed back the long dark hair above her brow,
Folded the still hands the pulseless breast,
Then robed her for that last long dreamese Sleep
And laid er in her Coffin bed, to rest,.--
Ohlet US live to know and feel our worth,
Thus faithful to our talent ever prove
That.we among the dear redeemed Of Earth
May be united in world of love.
LILY MAY.

"selves and their pesterity." We believe
that the powers which it confers upon the
Government os the United States are ample
for the accomplishment Of these objects;
and that If these powers are exercised in
the spirit of the Constitution itself, they
cannot lead to any other result. I'VE re.
spect those great rights which the Consti.
tuition declares to be nviolable-Freedom
of Speech and Of the Press, the free ex'
ercse Of Religious Belief, and the right o
the People peaceably to assemble and tc

Grievances. We would preserve thos'
g,est safeguards of civil freedom, the habsa
corpus, the right of trial by jury, and tn
right Of personal liberty, unless deprive
thereof for crime by due process of law
We declare our purpose to obey, in a.
things, the requirements OF the Constitu

thereof. We cherish profound Ireverenc

until, recently in the publication OF the
Buckeye SLATE, a Republican newspaper, in
New Lisbor Ohio, aud during the few years
he occupied the. editorial tripod he had the
satisfaction of meeting With the endorse-
ment and encouragement Of the party with
which he associated, besides commanding
and receiving the respec; of his political

the case of I. & A Patterson vs.. Western
