pX-Judge PfERREpOST then and said: Mr. Chairman.
il may hot be known 70 all those assembled here na-uch
the late Mr. Dickinson resided great while in the
country that within the last five years he hal become
religious man aud united with the church. His early life
may not be wei known 10 many # IL ia 10 those
with whom he lived at Bnghanton ard in The country.
But remarkable thing, which has been made known 10
me by his family this morning, occurred just hive days
before he died. He has been you all well aware
married. and five days before his death he wrote TO his wife
some poetry III which he gives perhaps better insight
IN few words and IN condensed form, into his inner life
than possibly be given in any speech in any other
mode Ey-udge PieepOnt then read. with considerable

10 LYDIA.
In youths bright morn when life new.
And love warm. and friendship true.
And hope and happiness were ours,
We started hand in hand to thread
The checkered. changefnl path Of life,
And with each other trusting tread
The battle fields Of worldly strife.
We ranged IN walks obscure unseen
Ger rugged steep. through vale and glen,
And climbed along the hIsides green,
Unmindul Of the future then.
We caught the song Of earliest birds
We culled the loveiest flowers Of Spring
We pightcd love in whispering words
And time sped by on fairy wing
And life was gladdened by the birth
or prattng babes, who clustered round,
10 cheer with smiles our humble hearth
Fate thrust us forth before the world
And phaDtOms whispered earthly fame,
Where hopes proud banner is unfurled,
And happiness too Oft name
Thus ured along rode the dark
And oaming tide OF public life
And proudly dared with splendid bark.
The elements OF storm and stTlie.
But storm and strife thank Heaven have passed;
The night has fed and morning come
And we, tossed mariners, at last
Returned once more 10 hearth and home
Bot Of the loved ones God had given
Two have retUrned-tw0 sank 10 rest
In lifes gay morning called TO Heaven
10 the bright mansions OF the best.
They sleep amid Spring forest elades
Where flows its streAmets
And oft at evenings gentle shades
VIII weep beside their early graves.
Mr.. Chairman, on behalf of the Committee Of the
Bar, propose 10 preserve in sacred memory the viz
tues OF the deceased, and as faint tribute Of their
