DIED.

On the 18th inst, -, daughter of John and
Lucy Wise. aged years, { months and l6 DAYS
The circumstances attending the death of this
little girl were truly horr' fying. On Sunday night
the 10Th inst, she playing near the fire, when
her clothing caught and was nearly all burned up
before assistance could be had Her su!ferings
were indeed most circulating, for most of the
surface of her body burned TO a crisp. She liv-
about eleven hours.

err with her two remaining little children are liv-
ing Mt Argos, in this County ,f
Death, the great Tyrant. yet reigns, causing dis
tress in the human family.
Like fair flower wtheredi in early bloom,
She has faded and sank to the cherries tomb;
In the spring time of innocence--in the morning OF
I life,
She has passed from earths cares, and the worlds
rude strife. g
AS the first dawn of morn casts its beams Ger her
bed.
She was closing her eyes in the sleep of the dead;
And the form that so latel,was joyful and gag,
And those kind cheering words, or the tones of that
voice,
No more shall the hearts of bereaved ones rejoicc
No more shall that smile, or those welcome feet
come,
To cheer the lone hours in that dcsoate home
With this short weary life and its cares she has
done,
Ere she learned of its sin, or its sorrow had KNOWN
And you who sadly your loss now deplore,
o. look to the hopes that are lying before.
Think not of the letters that bind her now,
OF the still cold hand, or the m,rble brow,
But look farbcyond this sad world of time,
To that future home in healthful cline,
Where the Saints shall be gathered by the Angels
Of God,
To dwell in tia thappy and blisfnl abode;
Where deemed ones shall liv in immo rial bloom
And be parted no moro by the dreary tomb.

9TH, 1862, Mr.. SAMUEL JAcoBY, in the 9th year Of
his age. iH laa .aft
Young Jacoby was member in good standing
of the Presbyterian church of Plymouth. His out
ward dedication Of himself to God sustained as we
trust, by corresponding life, is good ground for
heaven. And in addition to this unspeakab.c con
ISOLATION there is the fact thrt he died for his coun.
try. He forth willingly, says his Captain, to
its defence, was a good soldier and fell bravely.-
He thus gave himself to that country, not in the
of conquest, bu. i'm mighty struggle against
ruthless and traitOrous foe--a foe not made Sc
by wrong and oppression. but by that accused pas
sion which thinks il
"Better to reign in He'll, than serve in Heaven
foe that in their triumph would give for law
and order, anarchy for peace, tumult and war; fol
national glory and honor shame; for security, I'M
certainty and fear for liberty, tyranny; for freedom
of speech and the press, the slave drivers whip anC
chain and the lawless violence of the mob-for the
defence in fact Of all that is essential to the TEN
| poral welfare of mankind. In such a cause has h,
with tens Of thousands Of his fellow citizens fallen
OF its Justice and righteousness we can have n,
shadow Of doubt. and while weSveep for their los
we may dwell with just pride upon their noble con
duct and joyfulIy hope that the Divine blessing vii
prosper the cause for which they suffered and died
Their honor is henceorth safe in the hands Of thei
country--thcir memory will be gratefully cherish
ed in the hearts ofall who knew them. They slec
in death but in example live, and in the distant fu

their pilgrimages to the scene where they fell an

By all their country's wishes bIestl .s,
When spring with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to dress their hallowed monld;

Than angel-feet have ever trod.
By fairy hands their knell is rung;
BY forms unseen their dirge is sung;
There honor comes pilgrim gray.
TobIess the turf that wraps their clayi
And Freedom shall awhile repair
To dwell a weeping piIgviIn there"
