REFLECTIONS ON VISITING MY MOTHERS GRAVE.
In silence at the close of day,
sought my mothers peaceful bed
Just as the suns expiring ray
Shown on the grass above her head.
/ fingered there to muse awhile,
On days gone by and hours of bliss,
When childish sorrows to beguile
She'd sooth me with affections kiss
love this hour so calm and still,
love the twilight's pensive gloom,
That wraps it's shadows round the hill,
Where mother sleeps low in the tomb.
Sweet mother DEAR so kind and true,
Full many day has past and gone
Since we all babe that last adieu
And laid thee down to rest alone.
And yet it seems not long since
watched thy feeble steps with care,
And heard thy voice so soft and low
While sitting in the old arm chair.
Oh had caused by word or deed
My mothers gentle spirit pain,
My hayward heart caused thine to bleed,
With grief 'twould rend my soul in twain.
Oh, could call from that dark land
The precious form loved so we'll.
Could join again that hOu ehold band
And once again together dwell
Where am now, my youth has flown,
Lifes stern realities view,
And have older, wiser grown
And found the world more false than true
Then mother should wish thee back
From slumber sweet, from peaceful rest,
To trace again lifes troubled track,
To grief expose thy gentle breast
So soon the glorious Prince of Peace,
Who holds the key of deaths domain
Me from my prison will release,
And shall meet thee once again.

First-All unauthorized contracts
for the expenditure OF public money

Second-To give the people relief
against the outrageous In rease OF

Third-To provide for the election
OF all territorial officers
Fourth-To provide for the safe
keeoing Of the territorial school fund,
