prayer Of the following sonnet was answered
for he died few minutes before l. On SundaJ
night, april ,, 1864, aged %.
When nature feels the solemn hour is come
That parts the spirit from her mortal clay,
Msy that hour find NE in my weeping home,
Mid the blest stiffness q Sabbath day.
May none l deeply love be then away;
For thro' my heart the husbt tho s0bb.ng breath

With sighs from earth VII heavenly voices

Til as on seraph fair, smile on death,
Who comes in peace. like an expected friend;
Dipt in celestial hues the wings OF love

While, as if air were sun, CLEANS from above
The day with God-the Sabbath without end.
The following Is also one Of his productions:
