hsart. Wrlgiey has gone 10 1e1as' ana
will be seen among us no more forever !
A. Summer departs before the Wintry
blast; as daylight disappears beneath the
shades Of evening as thistle-down fees
before the storm: even so has Wrigley
departed from our midst. leaving rs en-
wrapt in gloom. We mourn, and refuse
70 be comfortsd. Yea, even as Rachel
uournsd for her 6rst born, as David Ia
msnted for his son Absalom, as Salem's
daughters wspt aloud so we mourn. We
lament. we weep for thee. o. Wrigleyl
he has gone to the sunny cline Of
Texas, where tits said the roses bloom
forever, and the Summer is eternal. We
are told that Texas Is . vast expanse Of
flowers. appearing as cultivated garden,
interpreted with cane-brakes, where the
timid deer bounds in conscious freedom !;
that in Texas slligstors abound, and the
rattle-snaks. the viper. the centipede. the
tarsntula, the scorpion and the horned
frog lark unseen-and there, also, is
Wrigley
o, Texas thou balmy asylum for the
disappointed, the unappreciated, the I'M
Fequited politician where he can seek q
new name and new fame. and forget the
ingratitude Of Republics rocsive and
deal kindly with thy servant. with Wrig-
leyl He was the Apostle of Democracy
in DOniphsn County, and BY his own ex :
srtions raised it to what it is-and, oh
what raising was there, my country
meni He was the smartest one among
them, and bore all the brunt of the first
struggles Of the party. But when it was
able to stand alone. alasl they repaid his
services BY discarding him, kicking him
aside, and neglecting him. He has sadly
and silently turned his back upon 9hem,
and sought home in the genial cline Of
Texas
When Houston was young, and poor,
and forsaken, he turned his face towards
Texas, became her savior, her first Presi-
dent, and returned United States Sena-
tor. When the gallant Crockett met
With disappointment, and found his SER
vices unrequited, he sought the land Of
Texas. and died gloriOusly at the Alamo.
So thou. Wrigley, hast sought an asylum
for thy sorrow in Texas, and perhaps
will-go to the Devil
Wrigly is gonel Long will his friends
remember himl Yea, a. we gaze back
through the long and dim vista Of the
past, and remember the scenes Of our
childhood as We cherish the soft re-
membrance Of pleasant dream; as our
memory reverts to every delightful scene
that our lifetime has witnessed: so will
we remember thee. Wrigley And long
will he remember his friends, for in his
outfit he carried a memento Of each:
shirt, Of E. NJ Lee.
pair Of brooches, Of Charley Byrd.
] vest, of Besbe.
] coat, of Wood.
hat, of Brady.
] pair of boots. Of Crane.
/ pair Of socks. (perfumed. of Heed.
/ cravat. Of Shepherd.
! bandana nose-wiper, of Stewart.
1"anort," Of Blind Bartemius."
1000 blessings" Of hotel keeper.
Wrigley, remember thy friends In
thy waking hours and in thy dreams !;
IN Joy and in sorrow; in the shades of Sc
clusion and on the pinnacle of fame; and
when you get out Of clOthes--remember
them!
We mind rs we'll when first we saw
Wriglsy. Twas one dreary evening in
Spring. before he was fallen, but the
virus Of Democracy was in his system.
He wanted Office. But it was his fail
ing, and we had charity for him. He
had talents, and we admired him. he
had pleasant ways, and we liked him.
He had oratorical powers, and We ap-
plauded him. He had ambition, and we
commended him. He had wit. and we
laughed ct him. He had impudence,
and We hollered'' on him. He has
gons to Texas, and we mourn for him!
Wrigley. farewell
