And thus from the city of Dallas has
been snatched by gallant son of st. Louis
one of our reigning bellies, one whose many
charms in the social circle whose gentleness
Of manner and happy ways in the domes-
sc, have writ upon the tablets of the hearts
that know her some golden thoughts that
in their overflow are tongueless for ade
q ate expression. To her., to him,
may time come with only
silver foot fall, but should care or misfor-.
tune wrong them by tlingmg shadows over
the hearts for whom the HERALD's wish is
sunshine, may they be fringed
with a cheering lining, whose colors were
mixed by the hand Of loneliness and merit
and well-spent youth in the past.
