1.-THE coffin lid has closed, the grave .s filed,
and the pale face Of HENRY TTMRoD is shut out
forever from the gaze of those who loved him
WE'LL He sleeps the sleep that knows no waking,
in that narrow mansion, using his own beautiful
language:
Where gloom and Gadness-graye aud gardenmixed,
Make it place to love and not to tear.
Heaven shed thy most propitious dews around
Ye holy starsl look down with tender eyes.
And GID, and guard, and consecrate the ground
Where we shall rest, and whence we pray to rise
'eWe cannot close this notice without quoting
the sad lines written by "HARRY" (as We all used
to know hm), several years ago. but prophetically
descriptive of the final hour that witnessed the
going out OF the brilliant light;
Somewhere ON this earthly planet.
In the dust Of flowers to be.
Ii the dewdrop in the sunshine.
Sleeps q solemn day for me.
'At this waksful hour OF midnight
behold 1t dawn i'll mist,
And hear sound OF sobbing
Through the dsrkness-histl OH hist
''In dim and musky chamber
am breathing life away;
Some one draws curtain softly.
And watch the broadening day.
..As 1t purples in the zenith,
As 1t brightens en- the lawn;
There's hush OF death about me,
And whisper, He is gone"
