A CORRECTION.

Editor o. the oxford Democrat,
Dear Sir.-In your journal OF August
20, last past, observed a poem entitled
Gone, which, for peculiar reasons, TO me
possesses no small degree OF interest.
From the Introductory lines, and also nom
the fact that the letter IL. is appended TO
IL as a signature, can but infer that the
reader IL expected 10 understand the poem
was original and suggested by the death OF
Mr. Cushman. But such is not the fact.
have the best OF reasons for knowing the
origin OF the poem, as II was written by 4
personal friend OF mine and in memory Of
An eysnt-the death OF my mother-which
am not likely 20 forget. 1t was original
with Mrs. Agnes Haskell, OF Lowell, and
was first published In February or March,
lS72, in q newspaper of that CITY. Since
then il has been many times re-published,
in various parts OF the country. On two
different occasions il has appeared in ths
Portland TranScrpt-one OF the best liter
AIRY journals Of which we have any knowl-
edge-which IS certainly complimentary 10
its author, who has written many pieces
quite As meritOriouS.
As published the other day In the Demo
crat, there are several changes from the
original, to render it suitable for the occa
sion, snd five verses were omitted. There
can De no great wrong done in using the
poem as at the funeral OF Mr. Cushman
the absolute wrong consists in publishing
il in a way calculated 20 mislead those who
read il, as TO its origin and authorship.
Let me add that on the marble tablet, in
the little graveyard under the hill, and with
in the sound OF the bell in your village,
which marks the spot where repose the re-
mains Of the dear one whose death inspired

trouble TO visit the spot.
