Ii was painful to learn of Col. Folks
death. Nov the flag of life is furled,
and the voyage of life is over" doubt
less even his political enemies can find
much 10 his life to admire. 1t was not
the pleasure of this humble scribe to be
| personally acquainted with him, but we
| know he was the poor mans friend. In
his death America is called on to mourn
one Of The ablesf, truest, purest msn of
tAe nineteenth century. In the language
Of another we could truthfully say of

never die. His name will be wrought
high OF monumental walls, and often in
scrbod in page, aud unborn millions will
proclaim the woDder of his fame" We
believe Col. Polk was christian, and
was prepared to meet his God. "Be-
You'd the pale white stars beyond the
sunlight, We trust our loved one is happy
now where the angels dwell"
