 But buried sorrows now-these eyes not look ing up,
 But looking down, to find the hungry or for lorn;

The burial is at o'clock to-day in the Nathan Hale cemetery, by the side of her husband, who died nearly forty years since, and rear 8 son and daughter who died in 1862. p. Fl. Peterson and J. B.
