N. p. WfLLIs.-A short time since
we published notice of the death of n.
p. WILLIS. In the correspondence of
the St. Paul Press VIC find the following
tribute to his memory
Have you not all experienced mo-
ment of sadness while reading that Will
lis has left us
Many trembling hand has taken
down from the shelf those sacred pc
ems. tdoubly sacred now and many an
eye, in gIancing over the pages, hos be
come tear dimmed, for in him Beauty
found a faithful advocate--P Poetry was
his twin brother--Music his bosom friend.
One by one the sacred singers are fall
ing lifeless from the boug1s-one by one
are hnshed the voices we loved to listen
to. Hawthorne, and Morris, and Pier
pont are gone, and now the shadow Of
death gliding along the old North River
settles over tho groves of ldelwild and
Willis sleeps under the snow.
With an old school friend of the dead
Poet we can saw Farewell, Willis !!
As the Hebrew girl by her loved river,
sits and listens to its melancholy wall,
mourning for giories long since faded, so
sit we tonight 10y the fresh made grave,
and mourn for ono who was the magic
mus clan, whose lightest strain stirred
our rugged nature and softened the stern
chords until only harmony. soft, sweet,
delicious harmony filed our soul. Will
lis, farewell

THE CAUSE.

God mend his heart who cannot feel
The impulse of a holy zeal
And sees not with lis sordid eyes
The beauty of self sacrifice
Though In the sacred place he stands,
Uplifting conseerated hai. DIS.
Unworthy are his lips to tell
OF Jesus martyred miracle.
Net To the swift nor to the strong,
The battles of the right belong
For he who strikes for Freedom, wears
The armor of the capiive's prayers;
And nature prefers 60 his eause
The strength of her eterrtal ldws
While he whose arm essays to bind
And herd with common bfutes his kind
Strives evermoro at fearful Odds
With nature and the jealous gods,
And dares the dread recoil which. late
Or soon. their right shall vindicate.
