year.
And the wishes of thy friends so dear,
How bright when the Calm OF the evening
has come,
Is the still holy quiet which beams around Il
home,
How lovely where honor and virtue abide
To press our last wanderer do wn by our
side.
Thy life has not passed without sorrow aud
care.
Nor the page Of its story been always iuir,
But he who tor virtue hath lived aud hath
strlyen,
His bark into darkeness eau never be
driven;
Then look with great thanks on the pages
gone by,
And breathe for thy thirteenth year not b
sigh,
But let thy soul mount to thy Maker above,
In purity, thankfulness, honor aud love. .
