TO ADVERTISERS.
PERSONS who wish their advertisements to reach
the greatest number of persons, will do well to avail
Vi themselves of the superior inducements offered
through the columns of the COLUMBIA Spy. It posses
es large advantage over any other newspaper; its
average weekly circulation being more than thirty
per cent. greater than any other paper published In
this - vicinity, and promises to be more than one
hundred per cent. greater, in less than six months.—
in addition to this, the patrons of the Srr are of the
class that advertisers wish to reach—liberal minded,
and intelligent people, thereby making it the most
lesistable medium for ali classes of advertisers. This
fact should have a great weight with advertisers.

Are the clubs in town going to send dele
gates ?
FOOT ORTISIIED.—Victor, a little son
of Professor Haldeman, Chickies, had his
foot crushed, on Thtusday evening, in at
tempting to get on the local freight east, on
the Pennsylvania Railroad.
BASE BALL.—The tklntuals play the
Fairplay this afternoon,
The Mutants will visit Lancaster, on Tues
day or Friday, of next week, to play a re
turn game with the Athletics, of that city,
IMPROVE:WENT - S.—A great many im
provements of diverse kinds are being
made in the borough at the present time;
among which we notice the dwelling of
Mr. R. T. Ryan, in Walnut stroet, which
le having another story added to it, besides
being otherwise improved.
POOKET PlGKED.—Benjamin Evans, of
Lancaster, had his pooket piolted on the
Reading cars, on Friday last, of thirty dol
lars in currency and some promissory
notes, which Mr. E. has forbid all persons
negotiating for, as payment thereon has been
stopped.
RES IGNE D.—W e learn that H. .H.
_II - oust - on, Esq., has rysigped his position as
Cieneral A.Preight, Agent, of the Penre,ylvania
Railroad Company. Mr. 11. was formerly
a Columbian, and ha held the above- posi
tion since 1853. lle has been a faithful and
highly popular officer. •
Firunmsrs PARADE IN ANJAniETTA. —
We - understand the firemen of Marietta
will have a parade in that place, on the
19th inst . . The Columbia and Vigilant
Companies of this place, have received in
vitations to participate, and have signified
their intention of being present, accompani
ed by the Columbia Cornet Band.
Efto3l. A. HAY Now.—A little
:son of Mr. paniel MeCanley, of this place,
fell quite 4 distance from a hay mew in the
barn of Samuel Heise, on Thursday lust.
Although, we are glad to say, he did not
seriously hurt himself but was rendered
insensible for some time from the shock,
considerably frightening his parents.
" SOME PumPßiss."—Mr. Wm. K.
Nolen, of this borough, has some pumpkin
vines in his garden that take down any
thing of the kind that we have ever seen.
One vine is over thirty feet long. There are
twenty-eight fine large pumpkins, and
only four seeds were planted, One vine
has run up and extended over a plumb tree
and the large pumpkins hanging over the
limbs makes a rather odd as well as beau
tiful appearance. They are called, we be
lieve, the sweet potato pumpkin.
"
HooPs AGAIN.—The fashion reports
from Paris announce that large hoops are
again to be in vogue, and short dresses
be again worn only by young girls. This
is bad news—especially the latter part of
it. That inexorable Fashion should com
pel our women to be street sweepers, is a
applomble plague of social tyranny, but
there is no escape from what the French
call Ze despot-isms de la mode. The time
will come, we hope, when our ladies will
not go to the French Court but to common
sense for their styles.
DRAWING AND PAINTING.—An Even
ing Class is about being formed 'of young
ladies and gentlemen, for instructions in
drawing in Pencil, India Ink, Water Col
ors and Mechanical Draughting. The class
will be under the instruction of Mr. F. S.
Taft, who has been solicited to organize it.
The course will comprise twelve lessons
and affords an opportunity for young men
to, acquire a knoNylecige of Meclutuical
drawitig which is seldom offered. Duo no

meeting cte. For further information ap

THE TRUTIL—It is always the best to
tell the people the truth; and it is the truth
that I. 0. Bruner sells the cheapest dry
goods, and boots and shoes, in town. First
invoice of fall and winter goods just re
ceived.
SUFFOCATED IN A • WELL.—David
Weidner descended a well on the premises
of Henry Graybill, in Jiarlville, on last
Thursday, for the purpose of cleaning it,
and while at work at the bottom, was over
come by gases which had accumulated there,
and. suffocated. The deceased leaves a wife
and children.
BOOK-KEEPING.—A class in this im
portant branch of a business education will
be formed in the Columbia Classical Insti
tute, on next Thursday evening, the 17th
inst. The class will recite two evenings in
the week, commencing at 7 o'clock. It is
hoped that the young men of Columbia will
avail themselves of this opportunity, to pre
pare themselves thoroughly for business.
WILL PRESENT A PICTURE.—On the
18th inst., after the Vigilant Fire Company,
of York, Pa., returns from the Parade et
Laricver, they will stop over at this place,
and present to the Vigilant, No. 2, of this
Place, a large and beautiful framed picture
of their entire company equipped. On this
occasion the Vigilant boys will turn out in
full force to receive their guests, and a
pleasant time is realized.
ME
BADLY BURNED.—On yesterday after
noon, whilst Mrs. Dr. Bruner, of this
place, was engaged about a cook stove, her
clothing accidently caught fire, badly burn
ing her arm, shoulder and side. She,. wti.
alone 'fit the time of the accident,-buthaving
presence of mind. ran to the hydrant and
succeeded in extinguishing the flames by
allowing the water to run over her. She
is not considered dangerous, though her
burns are of a painful character.
" A REMEDY AGAINST FlTS."—That
so—some people never get Pits, nor can
they give it to others—judging from the
appearance of those upon whom their
remedy has been tried. But on the other
hand the Patrons of Ponderemith's Store
can have their choice out of a beautiful lot
of Cloths and Cassimeres at reduced prices,
and have them made up to order at short
notice, in the best style, and are certain to
get a good fit. Who is the next customer
for a handsome suit?
THE •' COLUMBIA (Pa.) SPY" is one of
the best newspttpers in the State, and we
always welcome it to our table. It was an
audacious stroke of assurance on the part
of the Germantown Telegraph., to ask Mr.
Rambo to publish its prospectus, for the
privilege of an exchange. The impudence
of some people is wonderful.—Philadelphia
Railway Train.
Your head is perfectly level, brother
Steck; and every body is behind time who
does not take vour TRAIN.
[MANIA INSURANCE COMPANY OF
NEW YORK.—This, one of the best Compan

against loss or damage by fire, on the most
favorable terms. Its cash capital is .$500,-

STEAM PRINTING.—The Steam Print
ing Establishment of the Sry is one of the
largest, most complete and most perfectly
appointed Job Printing Offices in this part
of the State. It possesses unrivaled
f•.teili
ties for the prompt, speedy and artistic ex
ecution of every conceivable style of work.
Printing by steam on fast presses, gives
us advantages over others in point of
cheapness, dispatch, and in the style of our
work.
HAD HIS POCKET P CKED.—M r. B.
F. Appold, proprietor of the grocery estab
lishment, in SPY building, whilst in
Philadelphia purchasing goods, hiid his
pocket picked at the Democratic Head
quarters. in that city, on Wednesday night
last, of $1,710. He has employed the aid of
several detectives, who are busily engaged
in hunting up the party. He offers a re
ward of $5OO for the recovery of the money.
Porwns visiting Philadelphia, should be
ware of Copperhead Headquarters. •
SUMO: WEIGIITS.—A number of our
citizens have complained to us about the
imposition practiced upon them by some of
the country butchers, who attend market.
They pretend to sell meat several cents
cheaper than our butchers do; but when
yOu come to weigh the meat, it invariably
fulls short, one, two, three, and even four
ounces per pound. It would be well if
every one buying meat would examine the
scales when it is weighed, and call the at
tention of the seller to any error in the
weight, should it occur,

AN EXTENSIVE 33RE1VERY.—One of
the most extensive brewing establishments
in this country, is that of Frederick Lauer,
Reading, Pa. He has lately increased his
facilities for brewing his celebrated ale,
porter, brown stout, His ale has ac
quired a reputation second .to no other
make in the United States. Mr. Lauer is
a highly popular citizen of Reading, and as
an enterprising business man has few
superiors. He is assisted by Mr. Rhoads,
a clever and sociable gentleman, who is
delighted to have friends as well as
strangers call upon him at all times.
IMPORTANT TO CIGAR MARERS.—The
Cigar Makers of this District are reminded
that they are required by law to make re
turn to the Assistant Assessor of their re
spective divisions, on the first Monday of
each month, of all cigars made by them
from the first Monday of the preceding
month, and that the failure . to make such
returns subjects them to severe penalties.
They are also required to have permits
properly registered with the Assistant
Assessors.
:TheSe-who have such permits should see
that they are registered,(which will be done
free of charge,) and those who have not,
procured them should do so at once.
WITH the inducements held out to our
citizens to aid a noble object, every man,
woman and child should have a share of
stock for the benefit of the Riverside Insti
tute (ionated at Riverside, New Jersey,)
established for the gratuitous education of
the Orphans o f Soldiers and Sailors who fell
in the great struggle for the perpetuation of
the Union. This meritorious affair is under
the control of tit° Washington Library Com
pany of Philadelphia, who, in order that
their benevolent object may be successfully
accomplished, have issued five series of fine
steel-plate engravings, one of which is
given with every share of svloic sold, at
Prices touch below their retail value. In
connection with this superb inducement,
every shareholder is guaranteed a present

shareholders—one of which is worth $40;000,
another :320,000, another $lO,OOO, titc. Each
shareholder has an equal chance to obtain

Mr. Hershey :3.3,500.00 damages. H. M.
North, for plaintiff; Geo. F. Breneman, for
company.
ANOTHER, CI - LANGE or TIME ON P. R.
R.—A new schedule will go intq effect on
the Pennsylvania Rail Road, on Monday
next. The following changes have been
made: A train leaves this place at 7.50 A.
M. for. Marietta, arriving there at S.OO. Re
turning, leaves at 5.20 A. M., arriving at
this place at 8.40. This train takes the
place of the Harrisburg train, which now
arrives here at 8.10. The Lancaster train
leaves fifteen minutes earlier-9.00 A. M.
An emigrant train on passenger schedule
leaves Philadelphia at 11.50 P. M., arriving
at this place at 5.05 A. M.
There are no changes in either or the other
passenger trains going, through Columbia.
TRADE.—Every department of trade in
our fast and progressing borough, has re
ceived new supplies—the sinews for the fall
and winter. Our dry goods merchants
have stored full and fashionable stocks,
embracing every department in their line.
Grocery men have laid in their groceries,—
and in fact so nn through all the various
departments in the mercantile community.
Every one is preparing, and all are expect
ing to do a fair business. There are, how
ever, a few croakers, but these are to be
found in every community—are indispert
sihle, but sometimes troublesome charac
ters. Trade is opening slowly, but the sup
plies are still coming in, which gives a
business aspect to our "little city."
ron.N. COUNTY ITEMS.—The York
county Agricultural' Exhibition, held at
York, last week, turned out to be a grand
success, says the Democrat. The agricul
tural department far exceeds that of last
•ear.
An ordinance has been passed by the
Town Council of York borough; requiring
the houses to be numbered at a cost not ex
ceeding twenty-five cents each, to be paid
by tho occupant, or owner. The contract
has been awarded to Mr. F. J. Gibson.
How are the numbers to be put up in this
borough, we wonder ? In the above man
ner, or not at all ? It has now been a con
siderable length of time since Council
ordered the numbers to be put up and
purchased them, nevertheless "nary••
number is yet observable.
Mr. Peter Lenhart, in West Main Street,
on the other side of the bridge, had about
twelve hundred dollars stolen from his
house a few days since, by a young man
who was stopping temporarily at his
house.
THREE NEW ANTHRACITE FURNACES
are in process of erection on the Susque
banna—one at Harrisburg, one at or near
Marietta, and one at Wrightsville.
Harrisburg and its vicinage, from prox
imity to abundant rich ore, proximity to
cheap and excellent mineral fuel, proxim
ity to tidewater at the three great cities—
Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore—over
routes all rail and routes all water, is dis
tinguished for facilities for the manufacture
of anthracite pig. •
The ore supply at Harrisburg is ample
for the manufacture of any quantity of pig,
and the market for pig is becoming so large
that, whatever locality can convert ore into
pig the cheapest, quality the same, will
most rapidly increase its yield. And the
advantages possessed by Harrisburg in this
respect will soon wake it distinguished Ibr
the number and success of its furnaces.
The immense ore deposits from which the
Cumberland Valley Railroad, over its main
line, and tributaries to be built, can for
ws.rd Ore to / ornaison nis na.r.riabax. 6 ,
expand its oro tonnage into large totals,
and enhance its celebrity as an iron ore
route. —Mining Register.
—The same can truly be snid of Columbia
and vicinity, as well as of Harrisburg.
THE ELEcnoN.—The election on last
Tuesday passed off very quietly, not only
in Colombia, but throughout the State.

ifested than usual. The following table

How . TILE EXPRESS OFFICE
GED.—We have frequent compla
us in regard to the munagen
Adams' Express Agency, in t
and we are all aware they are not without
thundation. On Monday last, two per
sops waited at the door of the Express
0 Rice until S A. M., hoping to be able to
send packages by the Reading train to New
York, but were disappointed. Some time
since, a gentleman had a box oflive lobsters
sent him, which were detained in the office
some days, and were then delivered in a
state of decomposition, with a bill of $7.00
to pay. A short time ago a small package
of pamphlets was sent to this office, by Mr.
Wiant, of Lancaster, upon which the ex
press charges were $1.30 in place of 23 cents.
Wo enquired into the cause of the over
charge, but no redress as yet has been ob
tained.
The citizens of a live progressive town
like Columbia, should not submit to such
impositions. Think of a town of over 8000
inhabitants, having to wait for a wheel
barrow express. We have no express
wagon—have to wait till goods arc delivered
by wheelbarrow., Whew what a progres
sive rind titst Company is this Adams Ex
press in Columbia.
Since the above'was in type, Mr. Farrell,
(to 'whom the lobsters were Shipped,) says
that we are mistaken in reference to the
charges,. that there was nothing but he
freight to pay, but that the lobsters were
spoiled, and that he does not kuow where
the blame rests, de,
Two packages wero resolved at the Ex
press °Mee, on Monday evening last, for
this office, and were not received by us,till
Thursday. The cause of the delay, it is
said, was that no way bill accompanied them.
Persons had better have their goods shipped
by regular freight lines, or around by Read
ing, than by such a slow coaches this. With
endue respect to Mr. Ziegler, theugent here,
we do say that the Adams Express Company
is badly managed, so far as Columbia iseon
corned.
BLACK LisT.—The Tidioute Journal
has got tired of dunning and has commencd
the publication of a black list. They pub
lish names of all the " dead beats,"—those
who refuse to pay their indebetedness to
that paper. Good idea. We shall com
mence the same.thing soon.
B.Eraurous.—Rev. Samuel E. Apple
ton, of Philadelphia, will preach in the,
Episcopal Church, to-morrow (Sunday.)
Communion service in the morning, at 10
o'clock. Evening service at 7 o'clock.
We are requested to announce that the
Rev. S. H. C. Smith, of Chambersburg,
will preach in the H. E. Church, Wrights
ville, on to-morrow (Sunday) morning, at
10 o'clock. Evening service at 7 o'clock.
Divine worship, in the English language,
will be held,in the Reformed Church, cor
ner or Third'uud Cherry streets, to-morrow,
(Sunday) morning and evening.
THE OLD CHURCH AT DEnar.—Frank
Leslie's Newspaper, for this date, contains
an illustration of Derry Church, with a
short history, by Mr. Taft, of this office.
Some thirteen miles south-east from Har
risburg, Pa., and on the main line of the
Lebanon Valley Railroad, is a small station
called Derry. Here, in 1719, William and
Thomas Penn deeded forty acres to the
Scotch and Irish Presbyterians, who were
quite numerous in that neighborhood, for
church purposes. During the same year
the church was begun, and was finished,
ready for occupation in rno.
The church is constructed of oak logs,
two feet thick, which are covered with hem
lock boards on the outside. The inside is
in a good state of preservation, considering
its age, doubtless owing to the excellence
and durability of the material used in the
construction of the pews, floors, etc., viz.,
yellow pine, cherry and oak. The iron
work is of the most primitive and antique
description; and the heavy hand-wrought
nails by which the hinges are secured to
the pew and entrance doors are extremely
tenacious and difficult to loosen, notwith
standing their hundred and forty-seven
years of service. The window-glass was
imported from England. Notwithstanding
the fact that the Penn unruly were all
Quakers, William and Thomas attended
this church regularly tor a long time.
There are two chairs (ono of which is shown.
in the illustration) which were used by the
brothers exclusively; and the oak tree
shown to the left 01 the church is pointed
out as the one to which they invariably tied
their horses during service.
The pegs in the wall, shown in the interior
view, were used by the sturdy pioneers to
hang their rifles upon, its attacks by the
Indians at that period were of almost daily
occurrence ; and there is still to bo seen
nanny hostile bullets imbedded in the solid
oak walls.
The communion-service, which is very
ancient, is supposed to be composed of an
alloy of silver and pewter, and bears upon
the bottom of each piece the royal anus of
England, enclosing the words "Richard,"
" king."
The churchyard contains the dust of some
of the earliest pioneers of Pennsylvania :
Reverend Mr. Elder, who was the first
pastor of this church, and officiated for
sixty years, and was (so the stone informs
us) " also Colonel of the Paxton Rangers,
whose duty it was to defend the settlement
from Indians:" David Brainerd, the Indian
missionery ; William Bertram, died in 1746,
aged seventy-two • John Campbell, who
died February 24111, 1734, aged seventy
eight, An immense stone, rudely carved
in antique letters, bears this legend :
" under this stone lies entombed
James Campbell's dust, you see,
Who was as healthyand as strong
As many that may be;
lint 310 W, by Death whom all devours,
Is laid up in this cell,
With crawling worms and reptiles base,
He is obliged to dwell.
lle died May 31st, 1771, about the age of 80,
Also,
Agnes his second wife,
She (Ilea%prll 3rd, 1757, about the age of 50,"
Another, of more recent date, informs us
that " Here lies Catharine Steel, who in her
time raised nineteen orphan children, died
in 1803, aged eighty: three."
There now remains but eight communi
cants of Derry Church. AL the bottom of
the hill upon which the church stands is a
copious and never-failing spring of beauti
ful cold water.
In order to make the antiquity of this
church more apparent to the mind of the
render, a few well remembered facts and
dates may be cited in comparison: George
Washington was not born unti l twelve years
after this church. wiLs built; and Benjamin
Franklin was a small boy not yet known
or heard of in Pennsylvania ; Braddock's
defeat occurred thirty-three years after ;
and the Declaration of Independence was
signed fifty six years after this church had
been built and occupied as a place of publio
worship.
Jo t .— -de tux led
description of this interesting spot, hallow
ed as it is by the associations of nearly a
century-and a half, where our foreilithers
assembled, •' in the time that tried !non's
souls," to worship under tho venerable
roof of Derry Church.
TUE BRIDGE MEETING.-1U pursuance
of a public call, a number of prominent
gentlemen from Philadelphia, York and
Lancaster counties, met at the Washington
Hotel, Columbia, on Monday last, to devise
ways and means to erect the Bridge over
the Susquehanna, at this place.
James Myers, of Columbia, President; C.
J. Nourse, of Columbia, Secretary.
The meeting was attended by the princi
pal iron masters in this vicinity, and of
York and Wrightsville. Several of the of
ficers of the Bridge Company were also in
attendance.
After remarks made by Messrs. Hess,
Kauffman, Fisher, Small and others, upon
the feasibility of raising a sum of money,
amounting to one hundred thousand dol
lars, in addition to three hundred thousand
dollars already subscribed by the Penn'a
R. R. Company—the rates of toll on iron
ore, coal, were discussed—the officers
of the Bridge Company retired without
making any definite propositions in the
matter.
On motion of Mr. Small, of York, it was
Resolved, That two committees composed
of two men each,be appointed to obtain sub
scriptions, and if possible, raise one bun
dreu thousand dollars towards the erection
of the Bridge.
The committee for the west side of the
river was composed of Messrs. Henry Kauf
felt, of Wrightsville, and David B.
of York. For the east side of the river,
Messrs. Jeremiah G. Hess, of Columbia,
and Abraham Musselman, of Chiekies.
On motion the meeting adjourned, at the
call of the President, who stated that he
would call a feeeting as soon as the above
committees were ready to report.
There were some spicy remarks made by
several gentlemen, upon divers subjects
that did not pertain strictly to matters con
nected with the erection of a Bridge.
The more the gentlemen talked, the more
they wandered from the subject upon which
they met to discuss. We came away from
the meeting with no sanguine hopes that
au understanding, satisfactory to all the
parties, would be arrived at. It was stated
by Mr. Hess that the revenue of the old
Bridge, in 1562, amounted to twenty-five
thousand dollars. Why then does not the
Bridge Company, backed by a powerful
corporation,—the Pennsylvania Rail Road
Company—proceed at once to its erection,
without dickering with our citizens about
the amount they shall subscribe, to insure
its completion? We want a Bridge; let the
work be. commenced immediately, which
can only bring about a good feeling between
the communities living in this vicinity, and
the Bridge Company, which we are free to
say does not exist under the present state
of affairs.
IS MANA
'nts sent to
ent of the
.his place;
The corporation, says the Telegraph, which
owns the piers on which the.bridge which
formerly connected Columbia, Lancaster
comity, with York county, rested, is big
gling with the people of Columbia for a
subscription. The Pennsylvania railroad
company is willing to Luck the bridge com
pany in putting up a new structure, while
it has been established that the receipts
from tolls on the bridge burned were always
immense, two reasons in the public mind
for believing that the company should not
delay in replacing the bridge. But this rich
corporation want a large subscription from
the people of Columbia, before the work is
commenced. It is the old story of incorpor
ate monopoly seeking to take advantage
of the necessities of the people. The Coluill
bia Bridge Company is rich enough to erect
a new bridge walioat any direct aid from
the people. The Pennsylvania railroad
company has magnanimously offered to aid
the Bridge Company. This makes the case
still worse against the avarice and lack of
enterprise on the part of the bridge com
pany, and we hope the people of Columbia
will hold out against the extorionists, if
only to vindicate a right principle. It will
not defeat the erection of a bridge at that
point, but it will frustrate the designs of
speculators.

Obituary.
Dear mother, I am almost home."—D:, ing word. of L. August.
Now that the beloved has been called away
from earth's troubles, it may be a fitting occasion
to say something in remembrance of one whose
heart, while living, was as gentle and as kind as
it was good. L. AUGUSTUS ToxEs has passed
away forever, and the cold, while stone is keep
ing its lonely watch over the lips a fond and
loving mother have so often pressed, and the
sod will soon again be growing that shall hide
forever from the sight the dust of one who so
often nestled so close to a fond parent's warm
heart. He has left those be loved so well—he
has taken everlasting leave of this bright world
of sunshine and beauty, and gone down alone
into the dark valley ! But he knew In whom he
trusted, when he wh 'sacred, " Dear moth er, lam
almost home,"
Weep not, fond mother, " thou hnst not lived
in vain ;" you were bookie your "only hope"
when God called him home, there pillowing your
weary head upon his breast, wiped away the
damps of death from his brow, as his departing
spirit seas ushered into its 'A.laker's presence, em
balmed in a mother's holiest prayer. Yours has
been the trying yet glorious privilege of *Melt
ing for the spirit's final flight, and of trowlemny
that oohing :ocad hon tour bra.t to the Nem& Sarior's
hasami You have shared the last faint pressure of
the hand, and the last feeblekiss has been yours;
and even when the heart and flesh haul fulled
him, his eyes rested on you until they were glaz
ed by death. Your spirits held one last fond
communion, until gently hiding from his view—
the last of earth—he mingled with the first faint
glimpses of that better world, where partings are
never known, and the tear of anguish disturbs
not the tranquility of the soul. WO know you
feel lonely, now Augustus is no more, but his
spirit is ever wills you, and whispers among the
waving branches above hint, "I am not lost, but
gone before.'
" Dear mother, I am a lmost home," raid he,
And his spirit pai , sed to eternity.
Cul loose from earth, it ascended above
To revel in the joys of endless love.
Oh! !lON% the parent's heart that monrniul day
Subinis4ively bower to the Savior's way;
W Lilo a voice was heard t . hro' the deuth-still gloom,
Weep out," Dear mother. I am almost home:"
Ves, "almost hotne," ,Io we hear it anon.
When the soul puts its robes of purity on
tad passes from earth to the guttering throne,
Where siekneseand sorrows are never more Itnown
'' Almost lionw," in this dark world of sin,
When death's door opens to beckon ni
“Almost home,” oh, how joyful to hear it
A charm
_limn their dying one nLle to wear it.
Then mourn not for him who slumbers to-day—
epirit, triumphantly passing :may,
Saug a song of condolence, dispelling the gloom
That hung its dark canopy over the room,
Dispelling the fears that burdened the heart
Of her as she watched her 'beloved depart.
Be watchful—prepared, that n hen death shall come
Von, too, may proclaim, "I tm ttmost to= '
HoWArtn.
