Our Departed Friend, and Fellow Teacher. 'Mr.
Campbell
.Uf.t -(o)-
Dear friends, we ask YOU to draw near and
silently approve.
OF words which feebly represent our hearts
devoted love;
With feelings of profoundest grief whicL pen
can never express,
In vain we strive to make you know the depth
ofour distress.
One whom we foniiy loved, has passed to
@ deaths my ysterlous bourne,
Whose memory We cherish dear, whose death
| we deeply moan.
Friend Campbell, is the noble name that fills
our hearts with grief,
But tits a sorrow from which we seek not, to
find relief.
l
We have in anguish to recall Affections
| gloomy hour,
Which plumed our brothers waiting soul on
/ wings Of faith to soar.
AS TEACHER, he has fully won our confidence
and trust --......-.
And though his body may decay. and crumble
| in the dust, m
His memory shall ever live enshrined within
our hearts,
And We shall strive b cultivate the grace
] which it imparts.
/ As scholars we his noble name all ever more
revere,
And look upon it with an eye dimmed by af-
| fiction's tear.
While in the early morn of life and buoy yapcy
| ofycuth,
When treasop,s mighty host essayed to crush
| eternal truth.
/ With righteous dignation filed, he flew to
| 1ssave her life, 1
And left his mother, home and friends to min
gle in the strife.
A brave true hearted patriot. his country he
| adored,
And all the claims of home and friends he
! cheerfully ignored,
| That he mi ght lend q helping hand in crush
1 .fi- ing treason's weight,
And establishing the reign of Freedom, Truth
and hight.
He strove with unabated zeal, his country to
defend,
Till caught by serpents in the South and drag
ged into their den,
A victim in their Shiny folds, they tortured
him with pain,
! While he devoutly pray ed that truth the vic

!, Undaunted by their fiendish jeers, his corr
| age grew more strong,
While ,'e portrayed to them their doom, and
1 told them of their wrong,
Upon his co..: ntry's altar slain, his life he
WOULD have given,
That truth might gain the victory for
which she Iong hao ;striven.
Proud Treason's cohorts coult net daunt his
courage or his zeal.
| With dread Starvation 5, stinging .'angs, or
| blades ofshining steel,

| For with purpose firm and trnc he chose 70

Like demons cleaning through the glare of

Whose fiery eye-balls lit with wrath seemed

Those rebel leaders there wouid gaia a smile

To see our Nations pride and hope consigned

\ No human power could remove the virus

Thus fatally deposited by treason's poisonous

But hunger's pangs could not subdue his pat

For while his vital energies were slowly Civ

To see that Death had claspcd the hands O.
