Weary of Life.

Weary Of life, yet fondly 10 it clinging;
Weary of life, yet weeping at its close;
Dreading the hour that our last is bringing
Urging It's coming fearing its repose.
Weary of life, yet begging it to tarryf
Weary Of life, yet trembling at its fight;
Staggering meath burdcust thatwe cannot carry:
Weary fife, yer dreading more the night
Weary of Iife-oh Father, in high heaven,
Bridge o'erthe darknesswith one ray otIight!
Weary Of Iife-0h keep Inc at its even;
Oh give me stars with my untraveleG night.

DIED.

In This city, on Tuesday night the 24th inst,
after brief but very severe illness, CHARLIE eldest
SON of James Z. and z. NJ. Bailey, aged three and
a half years. t,..., ,
We feel that we could but poorly tell the distress
that the death of little Charlie Occasoned. Not
only to the household of which he was continual
joy but to their neighbors and friends who knew
the little fellow well, was it severe and affective
dispensation. Little Charlie was child of unusual
promise and well might hopes of his future useful
ness and happiness be INDUCED. Handsome in
person sprghtly in mind, and of a kind and lovely
disposition, he could not but attach himself to all
who knew him but alasl like so many of the
bright and beautiful things that we love here, he
has been taken away. But LET il not be that il was
only TO chastise and aflict u.s. rather let tsbc that
it was Gods wise plan to win us to that Heaven
where little Charleno is. H.

pleted his elegant main building, is now pushing his

Immediately alongside oft, taking out The side wal
OF the present ROOM which would separate the two

passways between them, throughout their entire
