There are solemn tones now pcaling upon the
quiet air.
For soul hath passed tho borders Of thi
pleasant world and fair.
When the winter winds were sigbing, and the
holding blossoms gay,
Their lovely heads had bowed to sleep, his
spirit passed away.
No aagry fever bound him with its visions
Wild and dread.
No racking pains confined him to his weary
sleepless bed,
But when his cup was fullest Of the ruby
wine oflife,
And the future stretched before him, undo,
mined by care and strife,
with ais foot upon tho pathway u . busting
world like this,
He passed the golden portals to tho world Of
perfect bliss;
And when Deaths angelplsced him beneath his
shadowy wing,
There was but one moments anguish and he
heard the scraphs sing.
And the band that cung together whom the
=, Rately temple rose,
Thr0 gh the centuries fowery summers and
the winters falling SHOWS.
Have laid their boughs above him--green honors
oe'r his bed,
Have sung their song Of triumph for the hero
who is dead.
For the man who conquers fortune, meets the
daily cares Of life.
With face unchanged, and smiling, is . hero
of the strife.
Farewell, but not forever there's glorious sum-
ner shore,
When those whom death hath severed shall
meet 10 part NO more.
There hand in hand together. press onward to
the throne,
When God shall reiga forever and all Of us His
own.

DEATH OF ALsERr CLAmKE,EsQ.

Another leading citizen gone! Albert
Clarke, whose death occurred on Friday
morning, the llth inst, had been identified
with the growth oiIndependence, almost from
its start.A man Of earnest religious principle
and excellent Judgment in the ordinary affairs
Of life, be commanded the respect and conf.
dence Of all classes. BY the terms of the
bill passed las. winter, creating an addition.
al Hospital for the Insane, in this city, Mr..
Clarke was made one Of the Commissioners
on the part of this State. He discharged the
duties Of this responsible position with great
ability and fidelity.
Albert Clarke was born in Conway, NJ ass,
in the year lsl0,and was consequently City.
eight years of age at the time of his death.
la early life he studied for the practice Of
law aud was admitted to the bar, but prac-
ticed only . short time. In 1852 he remov-
ed to Dubuque aud thence TO this city in
1854. He had always been identified with
the Presbyterian church. He had been pres
ident Of the School Board Of the lndependen,
District Of Independence. He was an hon
ored member Of Independence Lodge Of Ode
Fellows, whose members attended him faith
fully in his sickness and would have pait
him the sad duties Of Odd Fellowship il
burial had they uot been refused the oppor
tunity.
The funeral services were he'd at the resi-
dence, on Sunday Rev. J. NJ. Boggs officiat

the congregation should raise the amount Of
the socetys indebtedness. The cost Of the
proposed donation was 800. This very
liberal offer seemed to act like an electric
shock upon the audience, which not only
raised the amount required, but $500 more
The amount raised was $l3l5. This, with
the Dr's. donation, amounted to $2545. or
this amount, G. @. Woodruff gave 5000.
The prayer Of dedication was then offered
by Rev. Lyman Whiting, d Dubuque.
After singing, the benediction was offered
by Rev. J. NJ. Boggs, Of the Presbyterian
society, and the congregation dispersed to
their homes.
The exercises we're appropriate aud im-
pressivc. The choir, under the direction of
ID. D. Holdridge, Esq, sang very swee,ly and
effectively.
The church building is Of wood, 40x co
feet in dimension, with seventy pews, which
will comfortably seat five persons each, and
. gallery across the entrance end. The build
ing is plain, but chaste and harmoniousin its
architecture, and is furnished with excellent
taste. The cost Of furnishing, including the
organ, is about $500. The total cost, inclu.
ding the whole lot, is about $500. II is .
marvel how so fine building was erected
30 cheaply. II reflects great credit upon the
business capacity Of DR.. Bryant, who has
had immediate charge Of the work
and to whom the society and the pub
lie are indebted more than 20 any other
single man, for the successful consumma.ion
Of the enterprise. We must not neglect in
this connection to mention the very liberia
subscription Of Mr.. c. G. Woodruff, whose
vEole contributions amount to 81 100. DR..
Bryant's noneyed contributions amount 10
$1,000.
The New England Congregational society
Of Independence was organised in May last,
and now numbers thirty>two members. Rev.
Henry Mills the pastor Of the church, com .
meaced his lsbors in July. His preachin {
has proved very acceptable.
OF the lecture on Tuesday evening, and
the supper on Thursday evening, we have
only space to say that they were both sue
cessful. The supper was largely attended.
