He lives in shadow so douptfui ana drear,
Still rises his voice, lie sees nothing To fear

With differences past, they make up the loop.

With fe tur's so shostlike, and face white as

Del Cary lies yon4er, no more can he talS.
A dCcIple OF Blackstone, and Chltty lies here,
Let democrats come and weep DER his bier.
No more will he rise in his strength and his
pride.
To inform us. he's still on the law tariff side
Twas remorse that killed him, let his enemies
boast
For he gave them p oem, and this is his tos-t-
The club l. our pride, LET that be our boast,
TIE success OF each member, let that be The
toast.
