For all who thus 10 childhood die,
Are meet for Heav'n above the sky,
jesus said, whom the earth he trod,
OF such are the kingdom of God.
The Father God has call'd away
From evils dark and dreaded day:
Q say. with hearts resign'd aud meek.
Oar Father s will We humbly seek.

The DE4rn OF O1n, JAMES n. TRus>
sELb-1n our last issue we briefly mentioned
the death of Mr.. Jas. NJ. Trussell, sou of Mr..
BayIiss Trussell, of this county, aud formerly
merchant in Charlestown, which occurred
at the West Virginia Hospital for the Insane,
at Weston, on the Sd instant. Since then we
have seen letter from DIR. T: B. Camden
the Superintendent of the Asylum; (wbo,
from all we can learn, seems to evince tie
greatest interest in all his patients, and ex-
hibits toward them the most humane treat-
ment,) written to Sheriff TearDey of ills
county, from which we copy the following
particulars of Mr.. Trussell's death. DIR.
Camden says:
"IIe was as we'll at dinner and ate as heartily
as usual, and after eating he started back to
his room aud fell heavily on the fnor. They
came after me at once. When reached him
he was unconcious, breathing or gasping at
intervals, and expired in few moments
His derth was caused either by paralysis or
heart disease an of opinion it was paralysis,
as lis walk and general appearance indicated
that disease"
