visited the government works on Rock Island

ure will be abous 20 feet above the level of
the Island at the point Of crossing, and, in
order to accommodate wagon travel, rising

And the voice gentle now silenced and still
Weep not that the earth must now cover that form
Which once was so lovely, that bosom so warm,
And the smile that once played on her beautiful
cheek
No more the hearts goodness shall blushingly
speak.
Though the clods of the earth are heaped over her
clay,
And the light of her presence no longer can stay,
Let the thoughts of her goodness their fragrance
impart,
And memory act as q balm to the heart.
Why should ye mourn when few were her years,
She thus should have passed from this valley of
tears,
She had lived to enjoy the glad days of our life,
Ere the heart knoweth trouble, sorrow, strife
Ere older experience hath given the lie
To each darling wish, and our fondest hopes die
So meek and so gentle, SO kind and so good
The ills of this earth, could she have withstood !?
Detractions keen arrow, and Envy's sharp dart
Would doubly have wounded her sensitive heart
Rather wish her spirit never may stray
From the home of the happy where ever is day,
But to meet and to welcome to that happy shore
The friends that now weep as they think she's no
more. L.. A. D.
