The tragedy by which Paul Leicester
Ford lost his life sharply calls attention

at his untimely end. He was only 3S
years old, and, as no life that has given

He was a cripple from birth, frail, short
of stature. a hunchback. He had

! fill this cup to one made up
OF loneliness alone,
A woman, of her gentle sex,
The seeming paragon;
To whom the better elements
And kindly stars have given
form so fair that, like the air,
IT'S less of earth than Heaven.
Her very tone is music's own,
Like that of mornings birds,
And something more than melody
Dwells ever in her words;
The coinage of her heart are they,
And from her lips each flows
AS one may see the burdened bee
Forth issue from the rose.
Affections are as thoughts to her,
The measures of her hours;
Her feelings have the fragrancy,
The freshness of young flowers;
And lovely passions, changing oft,
So fill her, she appears
The image of themselves by turns
The idol of past years.
OF her bright face one glance will trace
picture on the brain.
And of her voice in echoing hearts
sound must long remain
But memory, such as mine of her,
So very much endears,
When death is nigh my latest sigh
Will not be life's, but hers.
