Lines ON the Death of Mrs. Henri etts
Brown.
"You are at rest and zoe are in tears"
We weep-dear one, for thee we weep! .-
Thy toll is done, and peaceful is thy sleep,
Lifo's ftful storms cannot disturb thy breast,
For holy spirits watch thy dreamless rest
We weep! for hearts are desolate and lone,
Without thy gladstone smile and joyous tone,
And thy loved friends now list to hear in vain
Thy gentle voice, amid their broken train
We weepl that we are left to linger still,
On LIES dull stage, our labors to fulfill g..
While thy feet wander with the spirit throng
In heavenly courts where joy and peace belong.
We weep! and can we e'er thy love forget,
Shall we thy absence ever thus regret
Thy virtues long in memory shall be;
And many heart in love remembers thee
Though other scenes may break fond memory's spell
And friendship new within the breast may dwell,
Though gentle hands may bring lis choicest flowers
And strew fresh hopes in pleasures faded bowers,
When recollection wanders DER the past,
To gather up those gems too clear to last,
Thy image brightest in the mind shall DWELL
OF all the treasured friends we loved SO we'll

her child in the Cedar river. A. NJ Chappell

finally gave way and the water closed over
the mother and her infant. Their bodies we're
recovered next day near together and about
forty rods down the river. A very large con-
course witnessed the funeral services. Rev. J,

eloquent and scholarly speech Of Ho1. Rnsus
Choate delivered on the 9Th Of July at Boston.
The Atlantic writer handles pen admirably
and we read his article with great deal of
pleasure. 1t abounds in prettily expressed ri.
dicule, but there is not one word of argument
against Mr.. Choate's position. We conclude
that the talents of the writer were sufficient
to maintain points adverse to Choate, if the
positions Of this distinguished statesman were
not irrefutable. The waste Of SO many words
upon the subject satisfies us that while the Re.
publicans of New England fear the effect of
the speech they are confessedly unable to
meet its arguments.
