Ind does thy memory still dwell,
And find an impress given
On earth below, in beautiful form,
fairer type of Heaven?
And does the influence Of a soul,
Whose every thought was thee,
Lead thee TO higher aims in life,
And happier to be --?
Then were those golden hours not lost
(That now seem sad and drear)-
Those happy hours that now are gone,
That were so sweet and dear2
Yes, "heeting were those hours of love, -
Our young life knew no care,
The earth seemed like yon ireaven above,
With beauty everywhere,
And memory will turn to them
For many years to come;
Wen think of them with tenderness,
No matter where we roam.

United States with all foreign
ports. Had this able naval officer
been in command of fleet of gun
boats to have operated against the
navy of the United States, never
would such points as Charleston
have succumbed until the surren-
der of the las. soldier in the South.
The death Of this gentleman and
gallant off 'er will be heard with
regret by all who knew him and
a large circle of admirers who
have only read of him.
