BYRON SISTER.
Though the day of my destiny over,
And the star of my faith hath declined,
Thy soft heart refused to discover
The faults which many could find;
Though thy soul with my grief was acquainted
1t shrunk not to share it with me,
And the love which my spirit had painted
1t never had found but in thee.
Then when nature around me is smiling,
The last smile which answers to mine
do not believe it beguiling,
Because it reminds me of thine;
And when winds are at war with the ocean,
AS the breasts l believed in with me-
If their pillows excite emotion
1t is that they bear me from thee.
Though the rock of my last hope is shverd,
And It's fragments are sunk In the wave,
Though feel that my soul is delivered
To paint shall not be its slave.
There Is many pang to pursue me-
They may crush but they shall not contemn-
They may torture but shall not subdue me
IT'S of thee that think-not of them.
Though human, thou ddst not deceive me-
Though woman thou didst not forsake
Though loved, thou forborest to greve me,
Though STANDARD, thou never coudst shake
Though trusted, thou didst not discaim me,
Though parted, it was not to fly,
Though watchful, twas not to detame me,
Nor mute, that the world might belle.
Yet blame not the world nor despse it,
Nor the of the many with one
If my soul was not fitted to prize it,
Twas folly not sooner to shun:
And if dearly that error hath cost me,
And more than once could foresee
have found that, whatever it lost me,
1t could not deprive me of thee.
From the wreck of the past which hath persisted,
This much l at least may recall,
1t hath taught me that what most CHERISHED
Deserved to be dearest of all.
In the desert fountain is springng
In the wide waste there still is a tree,
And a bird in the solitude singing
Which speaks to my spirit OF thee

ITO the Respectable White Citizens of the Sate-Dr J.
Stagges and j. g. Staggers have concluded to change
