Mothers Kiss Of her Dead
Child.

The kiss Of friends who meet to part,
Or welcome their return,
Is sweet, and grateful to the heart,
Where kind affections burn.
The kiss, which faithful lovers claim,
Is fonder and more true;
And while it feeds the mutual fame,
1t seals their vows anew.
Still more sincere, the Parents kiss,
That bathes the Infants check,
-lmparts and draws kindred bliss.
Which language cannot speak.
But far most sacred and most oolr,
OF ALL most undetiled,
The mothers kiss. who. with tear,

And if its spirit hover'd nigh.

ield and are taken from a copy Of the Bangor
Nhig& Courier, when published by Smith
hayward, and were written for that paper: -
Beauty Of Death,
The rose in all It's early bloom
Is beautiful and bright
It's blossoms breathe rich perfume,
And waken sweet delight.
The lake is fair, when in rcpose
Beneath the moon beams clear;
And while its mirror surface glows,
A thousand charms appear.
Endearing is the youthful face,
And lovely to behold
No living charm can match the grace,
Its blooming looks unfold.
But nothing which is seen below,
That feels life's genial breath,
Such angel purity can show.
As the calm smile of death.
Of death that rests on ch;ldhood's cheek,
That closes childhood's eye,
And bids the lips of marble speak
The truths that cannot die,
Expression, SO divinely sweet,
To life cannot be given
There innocence and beauty meet.
And shows both Earth and Heaven.
