"OELY A BABY"
TO OUR LITTLE EDw1N-rHRrEEN MONTH

OUR LITTLE EDwIN-THIRTEEN MONTHS OLD
How much of grief comes of that common wee:
Bowling cur heads beyond all future gladness,
Whemning in dust, our hopes so high but now:
With each fond look, each smileour hearts delight
Are gone forever, that which made earth bright.
Thy glad sweet voice: thy welcome shout at morn;
Thy softer prattle as day wore away,
Thy merry laughter to US ceaseless borne,
AS round thee gathered childhood at its play
These are the memories our souls to thrill,
These are the tones whose echoes hunt still
Thine eyes of light-heavens azure in them shone!
Thy rosy cheeks-hOw laughed each dimple there!
The very pearls which budded, one by one,
In the sweet mouth seemed each jewel rare;
And the proud fCrehead noble in its grace,
Made EN- death lovely on that pale young face.
Thy fair round limbs-no blight seemd on them
thrown,
Thy plump dear form defed cen dark decay;
And yet, what agonies in thine every moan,
Told our crushed hearts thou vert passing swift
away:
Could we have stayed thy passage to the grave,
How gladly would our lives been given to save!
And yet thy "Iittle lifen was all complete,
Since only blessed memories come of thee, divine,
The ''three score years and tenn of some meet
Of thousands, give no tokens such as thine;
Bow we in sorrow still, our light, our star,
o: r angel form, taen flight to worlds afar
We've left thee now, so loved, far off, alone,
In the cold earth; the stars to watch thy sleep
The wintry winds thy lullaby and moan,
The pattering rain for tears that would weep;
Alas! to give the love, or tears, were vain,
They cannot bring the loved and lost again!
We cherish each sweet look, we ceaseless mourn,
We deck thy resting place with rarest flowers;
And Q! would fOILO3O thee to that bright bourne.
To which thou gone from this dark world of
We thought to guide thee; guide as, dearl
That was thy mission, if thou had'st one here.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1869-05-07
a Texas Judge,

Think oftwelve innocent looking gentle
men in box in Smith county, Texas, lis
tening with wide-open eyes to the follow
ing charges eff the jury believe in the
evidence, that the plaintiff and the defen-
dant were partners in the grocery business,
and that the plaintiff bought out the defen-
daut, and gave his note for the interest
and the defendant paid for the note by de-
livering to the plaintiff a COW, Which he
warranted not breachy, and the warrant was
broken by reason of the breachiness of the
COW, and he drove her back and rendered
her to the defendant, but he refused to re-
oeive her. and the plaintiff took her home
again and put heavy yoke on her to pre-
vent her from jumping fences, and by means
of tie yoke she broke her neck and died;
and if the jury further believe that the. de-
fendant's interest in the grocery was worth
anything, the plaintiffs note was worthless
and cow good for nothing either for beef
or milk. then the jury must find out them
selves how they will decide the case, for
the Court if she understands herself-and
she think she does-don't know how such
a case should be decided The verdict
was eyes," and both parties appealed.
