DEATH OF GOVERNOR WILLARD OF IsDI-
ASA.-As we 60 to press, we learn that his
Excelleney, Ashbell p. Willard, died last
night, of consumption, at the city of Indi-
annapolis. The demise of the Governor was
anticipated by his friends the hand oi
death was laid upon him long ago, and
slowly, but regularly. he has faded away.
We knew Governor Willard when he
was in the spring-time of life. He was one
of those artleut, impetuous men, who do
not disguise their sentiments, and who, by
plain talking. make both enemies and
friends. He was one of the ablest and most
energetic politicians of the Northwest par
ticipated extensively in the councils of his
party, and won and maintained distin-
guishei reputation as a lawyer.
lie was a native, we believe, Of New
York he married Miss Cook, q most esti-
mable young lady of Connecticut, and, at
length. settled in New Albany. Indiana
While practicing at the bar, he was elected
to the Legislature, before which body he at
once proved himself one OF the ablest de-
baters in the State. He was chosen Lieu
tenant Governor when Hon. Joseph A.
Wright. now our Minister to Prussia. was
elected to the office of Governor. He pur-
chased q beautiful tract Of prairie land in
White county. where he intended 70 spend
the remainder of his days.
Gov. Willarl was . rigid partisan, and
was often very severe toward those
with whom he differed in politics but a
more kind-hearted. liberal gentleman we
have seldom met and it affords us sincere
pleasure to pay q tribute of respect to his
memory.-Cfncinnati Issses, 5th.

Softly now the hands are folded
Ger the little marble breast,
Sweetly in the summer silenc,
Little Mamie takes her rest.
Though they weep wild tears above her.
The bud so early taken,
Not for the hearts that love her
May the precious babe awaken.
So she went at early dawning,
But she left behind gloom,
She left sad tears and mourning
In the parent hearts at home
But amid the amaranth blossoms.
Beyond the gloomy tide,
She smiles on Jesus bosom
