BATTLE NEAR BOLIVAR
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.
Information has been received here of a dar
ing and gallant exploit of Colonel Geary, at
Harper's Ferry. He made a reconnoisance in
force, with four hundred and fifty picked men,
with three pieces of artillery, upon the rebel
entrenchments at Bolivar, a small settlement
at the top of the bill. He was attacked by
three thousand rebels, including five hundred
-cavalry, but drove them back three miles at
the point of the bayonet, killing one hundred
ana fifty and wounding a largo number, and
capturing a 32 pounder Col. Geary's loss is
four killed and eight wounded. Col. Ashley,
of the rebel cavalry, is reported killed. Our
men hold their position.
LATER.
BALTIMORE. Oct. 18.
A gentleman who spent the whole of yester
day at Harper's Ferry says that the accounts
published of the fight there oil Wednesday
are in main correct.
The cannon captured is a fine new seige gun
well mounted and in good order, with the ex
ception of a fracture of one axle during the
fight. It was stationed yesterday near the
abutment of the bridge.
W hen it was about being retaken by the re
bels, a ten penny nail was driven into the vent,
which has already been drawn out.
The Rhode Island battery did not partici
pate in the fight, as was at first stated. They
were stationed on Maryland heights, and found
it impossible to discriminate in the distance be
tween friend and foe. The fight continued
from 8 in the morning till 2 o'clock in the af
ternoon, aud was a regular skirmish with vary
ing results.
The rebels when hotly pressed retreated in
to the woods, and at other times they drove
the federal troops back into Bolivar—the main
fight being beyond that town, on the road to
Charleston.
At 2 o'clock Col. Geary arrived with three
pieces ot cannon, which soon silenced the ene
my's guns putting their entire force to flight
The cbaplaiu who was taken prisoner says
that before he was captured 87 were killed
and wounded, and had been carried from the
field. There was nothing po-itively known a
to Col. Ashley having been killed, aud it was
not generally credited.
The Federal troops remained on the field
all Wednesday night and yesterday morning,
having brought across the river the remainder
of 10,000 bushels of w heat captured from the
rebel's military depot, which tuey were about
to transport to Leesbnrg.
An order was given for the whole force to
retire to the Maryland side.
Great distress prevailed among tho few re
maining residents of Bolivar—information hav
ing reached them that it was the intention of
the enemy to destroy Bolivar and Harper's
Ferry on Thursday night by fire, and they were
all packing up, preparatory to a flight iuto
Maryland.
No information has been received from there
this morning as to whether the threat was car
ried out.
The river is still too high to ford and troops
were conveyed across in scows. The prisoners
captured admit that their force was two thous
and whilst the entire Federal force was only
four hundred and sixty. The change that lias
taken place in Harper's Ferry and the thriv
ing village of Bolivar, is represented as most
sad aud shocking. Iluin wes everywhere visi
ble, and the inhabitants were bowed down
with sorrow and dexsolation.
Col. MeKaig,State Senator from Allegheny
county, who was arrested some time since and
was carried to Ohio and allowed the liberty of
the State on parole, visited here yesterday in
violation of his pledge and was arrested last
night at his hotel by order of General Dix.
A FIGHT NEAR PILOT KNOB.
STRACCSE, MO., Thursday, Oct. 17.
A messenger from Gen. Fremont's head
quarters at Warsaw reached hereto-day, with
dispatches for Gen. McKinstry. It was said
that Gen. Price had made a stand in Cedar
County, twenty five miles from Osceola, with
20,000 well-armed and disciplined troops, and
a large force of irregular militia.
Oo the arrival of Gen. Fruuont at Warsaw
the opposite bank of the Osage Iliver was
lined with Rebel horsemen, who were dispers
ed by a few rounds of canister.
Gen. Fremont had begun preparations to
lay a pontoon bridge across the Osage when
the messenger left, and it was supposed his
army would be over the river by Wednesday
night. He was determined to push on with
the utmost vigor, and would probably soon
come up with the enemy and force him to fight
or retreat.
STRACCSE, MO., Friday, Oct. 18,1561.
The rebel Hardee, who has recently been
reported in Kentucky, is said to lie marching
to the aid of Gen. Price, with 20,000 troop 9,
and is expected to reach him next Sunday.
Nothing has been heard of our advance
guard to-day.
IBONTON, Mo., Thursday. Oct. 17.
No other bridge than that at Big Iliver
has been interfered with on the Iron Moun
tain Railroad, and no rebels are known to be
near the road.
The Bth Wisconsin Regiment is now here,
and another regiment, with Major Schofield's
battery of light artillery, is understood to be
on the way, which wdl make this poiut secure
against attack.
The rebels are reported in large force 25
miles below here, but nothing defiuite is kuowu
as to their numbers and designs.
ST. LOUTS, Thursday, Oct. 17,1861.
The following dispatch has been received
from an officer at Pilot Knob, dated 10 o'clock
last night:
Major Gavitt of the Ist Indiana Cavalry
made an attack on the euemy this morning,
when discovering the strength and position of
the Rebels, he fell back until he caine upon
Col. Alexander with 600 iufantry of the 2Lst
Illinois Regiment and one piece of artillery.—
The enemy followed, fighting all the way.—
Major Gavitt tliea got his gun in position,and
concealing his infantry, caused a part of his
command to retreat t.till further, drawing the
enemy iuto ambuscade, and forciug theui to
fall back with heavy loss
ST. LOCIS, Friday, Oct. 18.
The Republican learns that the work on the
fortifications around tne city has not been sus
pended, and that the guns will be mounted and
everything completed within eight days; also,
that $4,000,000 will arrive here next week to
pay off the Government indebtedness.
ST. LOCIS, MO., Friday, Oct. 18.
The reported withdraw! of Major R. M
Corwin from Gen. Fremont's staff is officially
contradicted.
REPORTED REMOVAL OF GEN. FRE
MONT.
CINCINNATI, Friday, Oct. 18,1861.
The Gazette editorially says that when the
Secretary of War went to St. Loni*, he carri
ed an order from the President to Gen. Fre
mont, removing him from the command of the
Western Department, and instructing him to
transfer it to Gen. Hunter. The delivery of
this order was left to the discretion of the
Secretary of War. His visit to the Western
Department convinced him that a change in
the command was positively required, and he
presented the order to Gen. Fremont, who
asked a delay of a few days in the execution of
the order, but his removal is decided upon, to
take place next week, and will probably be
made on Tuesday.
THE RETREAT OF THE REBELS.
WASHINGTON, Friday, Oct. 18,1861.
The report is confirmed that the Rebels
have again fallen back along their lines trom
the Orange and Alexandria Railroad to the
Upper Potomac. There is a small body at
Fairfax Station, and some force, probably not
large, at Fairfax Court-House Vienna is
deserted and Leesburg is being rapidly evacu
ated.
We have, as yet, made no attempt to occupy
the abandoned positions, but our pickets are
pushed out and our scouts range the country
to within a very short distance of the rebels.
It is reported that Gen. Hancock's brigade oc
enpied Vienna this morning, and made a re
connoissance beyoud, which the results are
not yet known.
This is denied at headquarters, where it is
said only our pickets have, up to this time,
been to Vienna.
RECON.VOISSANCES TOWARD FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE.
On Thursday aft rnoon, Col Wourtebell,
N. Y. Bth Regiment, with 100 infantry and a
small body guard of cavalry, vi-ited Amman
dale and remained one hour. In consequence
of iiis report. Acting Brigadier Stalil started
this morning upon a further recouuoissance,at
tended by his stall', and at the head of seven
infantry companies from the New York Bth
and Pennsylvania 29th, under Col. Wourtchell.
At Amandale, six miles this side of Fairfax
Court-House, skirmishers were sent forward,
and a regular march begun, with all the usual
precautious of goal ding side roads to prevcut
surprises, Ac.
The inhabitants along the route seemed di
vided in sentiment, some welcoming, otlvers
avoiding our troops. The Union people had
suffered much from depredations by Rebels,
but Secession sympathizers were subject to no
molestation whatever.
The family of one man, who was known to
have voted against the Ordinance of Secession,
was visited with all the wrath which the
Rebels could shower upon it. Their cattle and
crops were confiscated, their property destroy
ed, and three of their sous forced into the Reb
el ranks to act as servants. Others of the
family,during the Rebel occupation, were taken
sick with measles, but the surgeons refused to
visit them. Having lost ail their goods and
provisions, they were today dining off a
cabbage, the only food that was left them.—
The officers of the Germau Rifles subscribed a
sum of money for their relief aud sent them a
supply of better feod.
The reconnoitering party halted for obser
vations one mile beyond Amandale, upon the
road to Fairlax. Two tniles in advance four
Rebel horsemen were discovered approaching,
who, on perceiving our troops, turned and
rode back with great speed. A negro who had
just walked in from the Court House declared
that no body of troops were on the way, but
that two brigades were yet in possession of
the place itself.
Proceeding cautiously, the party continu d
to within two miles of the Court House, meet
iug with no interruption, and encountering only
deserted camps, which the villagers said had
been abandoned two days before. They were
in strong positious, but they had been very hur
riedly vacated.
Gen. Stahel waited for some time at Mrs.
Gocdwiu's farm, the nearest point to which he
could venture with his limited force, and re
turn to Bailey's Roads about 4 o'clock this
afternoon.
This reconnoissance shows that the road is
entirely open and free from obstruction to
Fairfax Court-llouse, and that the whole line
of country this side cau be occupied without
au engagement at any desired moment.
ATTACK ON BIG RIVER BRIDGE.
ROLL A, Mo., Oct. 16,1861.
Thirtv-one more of the wounded Federal sol
diers arrived here from Springfield yesterday.
These men report that a sharpskirmish took
place on Monday, twenty miles this side of
Lebauon, between two companies of mounted
men belonging to Major Wright's batailion.at
taehed to Gen. Mann's commaud, aud some
130 rebel cavalry.
Major Wright surprised the rebels by an
attack in the rear and completely routed them,
killing about 30 uud taking the same number
of prisoners.
Major Wright's loss was one killed and one
severely wounded. Very little firing was done
by the rebels.
The report that Col. Taylor's regiment of
rebeU, which has been stationed at Springfield
since the battle ol Wilson's Creek, has march
ed North is co-:firmed. They have probably
gone to joiu Geu Price on the Osage.
JEFFEKSOS CITY, Oct. 16.
A scout who arrived here to night reports
that General Price's uriny on Sunday was at
Clintouville, in Cedar county. Clinlonville is
twenty five miles south of Pappinsville, on the
Carthage river. The whole anuy have effect
ed the passage of the Osage aud are still in
full retreat.
PONTOSO, Mo., Oct. 16.
We have the following account of the attack
on the Big River Bridge yesterday morning.
The enemy was discovered approaching the
buildings, about 6eveu o'clock yesterday morn
ing, by a German sentry, who gave the alarm.
Our troops, numbering between forty audfifty
men,instantly prepared for action,aud although
the force against them nnmbeted somewhere
near six hundred,under the lead of Jeff. Thomp
son himself, they stood their ground, and from
stone piles and other places of shelter,did good
execution. They were finally surrounded,'how
ever, and compelled to surrender. Their loss
was one killed and six wouuded, while the
rebel loss was five killed and four wounded.
Immediately after the surrender,the Federal
prisouers were sworn by Jeff. Thompso \ not
to bear arms against the Southern Confeder
acy. The rebels then burnt the bridge, aud
speedily retired.
Jeff. Thompson says that he has 5,000
mounted men in the vicinity, und that he in
tends to burn the other bridges on this road,
and that Pilot Knob and Irontou would soou
be atiaeked and captured.
The troops along the road have been order
ed to Ironton by Col. Carlin, commanding that
post, in anticipation of an attack.
A strong force is said to be in the vicinity,
threatening our force at the terminus of tho
road.
Col. Car fin's force consists of the Thirty
third and thirty eighth Illinois, Twenty first
Indiana,and a detachment of the Indiana cav
alry, which with our strong fortifications,is con
sidered sufficient t > repel any force the rebels
have in that section until reiuforcements cau
reach them.
STILL LATER.
BATTLE NEAR LEESBURG.
EDWARD'S FERRY, Oct. 21, 1861.
Gen. Stone crossed the Potomac th:s morn
ing with one portion of his command at Ed
ward's Ferry and the others at Ilarrisou's Is
lands.
Skirmishing began between the enemy in
uncertain numbers and part of Gen Stone's
command as early as 9 o'clock in the morning,
and continued without much effect until about
5 o'clock in the afternoon, when large re-en
forcernents of the enemy appeared upon our
right, which was commanded by Col Baker
The LTnioii forces engaged were about 1,800
and were attacked bv a force supposed to be
5,000 to 10,000. At this juncture Col. Bi
ker fell at ttie head of his brigade while gal
lantly cheering on his men to the conflict
Immediately before he fell he dispatched Maj
Young to Gen. Stone to apprize him of the
condition of affairs, and Gen. Stone immedi
ately proceeded in person toward the right to
take command, but in the confusion created by
the fall of Col. Baker the right wing sustaiu
ed a repulse, with considerable loss.
Gen Stone reports that the left wing retir
ed in good order. He will hold possession of
Harrison Island and the approaches thereto.
The Flowing Oil Wells.
We have visited uio-t of the flowing wells
on oil creek, and have published statements of
i heir yield which many of our readers, we have
no doubt, though bordered on the incredible
Well, be tins as it may, we have a statement
to make in this particular direction more mar
vellous than any previously given, and those
who are credulous in such matters may just
pass it over without perusal. To all others,
lie it known that the uiost astonishing vein
of oil yet out was tapped on Tuesday week, *u
the M'Ellany farm, about twenty rods below
the celebrated well of Capt. Funk, at a depth
of 460 feet. When we saw it, on Thursday
evening, it was pouring forth a continuous
stream of oil, wonderful to behold, which it
had done without interruption troiu the hour
it was struck —differing from most others,
which take tune to rest occasionally. How
much it had flowed up to the tune we visited it
cannot be exactly ascertained, as the owners
were not prepared to secure it at first, an
eveu when we wete there it could not be mus
tered. To give the reader some .idea, how
ever, of its yield, we would say, that a watch
was held while it run into a lank holding by
measure 108 obis., and it fil.ed the same in
fifty Jive minuUs ! At a fair estimate, taking
mis as a data, those who were working and
watching about it are confident that in the
first 24 hours, it flowed two thousand four
hundred barrels of o 1 I And when we left
on Friday morning there appeared to lie but
little diminution. What is also remarkable is
the fact, that as above stated, this well is lo
cated not more than twenty tods from the
Funk well, which lias beeu flowing some four
months, and has yielded an almost incredible
quantity of the greasy fluid. It would have
been supposed that the latti r had drained ali the
the oil tor a considt ruble distance arouiul, but
there is one still more prolific w.thin twenty
rods. Tliese oil wells are certaiuly among the
wonders of the world.
It may well be supposed that at such a well
they have a pretty lively tune of it, in their ef
forts to save the oil ; and while they can suc
ceed but partially whcu they have daylight for
it, it is rendtred stili more difficult such nights
as we had last week—dark as Egypt, and rain
ing at that—when danger of explosion will not
allow of any light being broughtuear the spot.
If any of our readers are dying of ennui, we
would advise them to employment at one of
these wells 'for a short time— Mercer Dis.
SINGULAR CASE OF RESTORATION. — A singu
lar case ot restoration alter apparent death
occurred on Wednesday at Albany. A little
girl after a sudden relapse succeeding a se
vere illness, apparently died. The body did
not stiffen, but every other symptom ot dealt)
was present. The remains were prepared
for the grave, when on Wednesday night the
supposed dead child screamed, and immedi
ately the functions of life were resumed
Heavy perspiration poured off the body in
great quantities, and the pale, marble like
form assumed a healthy red appearance. —
When the "dead" child screamed, those pres
ent, except the mother,became greatly alarmed
and ran out of the room. The mother rushed
to the body, enclosed it iu her arms and re
moved it to a bed in the side room. The fam
ily physician was immediately sent for, wno
applied proper restoratives, and the child is
now iu a fair way of recovery.
llow LOTTISVIU.E ESCAPED —lt is stated
as a fact, by the Cincinnati Commercial, that
Gen. Bnckner, with 8,000 men, was pro
ceeding to Louisville by railroad, while the
people of that ci'.y were unconscious of their
peril. At Green river a young man became
aware of Buckner's purpose, aud ran forward
to a switch a short distance beyond Geen river
pried it open and so allowed the train to plow
its way iuto the earth. This detained the
rebels twenty four hours, and meanwhile the
people of Louisville became aware of their
danger and piepared for it—Bnckner remain
ing at Geen river instead of going forward
to the city.

Thursday Morning, October 24,1861.
BATTLE IN MISSOUHI.
The telegraph at this place, brings us very
imperfect accounts of a battle near Frederick
town, Mo., between the Indiana volunteers
and the rebels under THOMPSON and LOWE.
The latter were routed with much loss, and
four heavy guns captured. The Uuion forces
lost several officers aud men.
THE NEW NATIONAL LOAN.
Our advertising columns show to our read
ers that that the Secretary of the Treasury has
appointed an agent in this place, to receive
subscriptions to the New National Loan of
Treasury Notes. We iinderstand that a num
ber of subscriptions have already been taken,
and good many inquiries in regard to the Joan
arc being made by persons who express a de
termination to take some of it.
We can point with particular pride to the
number of our citizens who have gone forth at
the call of their country, todcfend its Govern
ment, aud we sincerely trust that the spirit
which prompted so many of onr brave men to
leave their homes, will also animate those who
remain, to come forward and contribute the
means to maintain aud keep iu the held our
brave army.
The Loan is justly called the Popular Loan
—it is intended to be the loan of the people
to their Government, and wherever agencies
have been established there has been shown a
strong desire, by all classes, to subscribe. Al
ready the subscriptions from those whose means
are moderate, to this Loan amounts to over
$25,000,000, and is daily increasing. Among
the subscribers are workmen in factories, shoe
makers, laborers,'servants, both male and fe
male, in fact almost every branch of honest
industry numbers by hundreds its members on
the subscription list.
The Loan possesses all I he essentials of n popu
lar loan In the first place, it is a safe Loan
It is the Gevernment that pledges the faith
and wealth of the Nation. What is our wenhh
worth without our Government ? Of what
value is nur property either real or personal,
without our Government? consequently if the
Government is not safe, no investment undt r
the Government is safe—no personal security,
nor real estate security is worth anything if
the Government is worthless. It possesses,
therefore, in a remarkable degree, th • fir>t re
quisite—that of safety.— It is a profitable Loan,
the rate of interest it pays is large—this in
vestment is payable semi annually at New
York or Philadelphia, and the Agency here
will pay the holders in this neighborhood—the
principal is payable in three years, iu gold, or
the holder can convert it into a two year six
per cent. Loan, which, when our present trouh-
ies are at an end, will undoubtedly command a
premium of from twelve to fifteen per ceut. —
This was the case under the administration oi
President FIERCE, when the Treasury Depart
inent redeemed its obligations by purchasing
them at eighteen per cent premium.
Our present troubles will undoubtedly be
brought to a close within a year, and the Go
veroment be established on a firmer basis than
ever. It is a convenient Loan —each note is
issued with i ts coupon attached, that is cut off
everv six months and paid—the rate of inter
est is conveniently calculated, viz : One cent
a day for SSO, and should the holder want to
realize on it, it can always be soid, or it can be
used as collateral security for a temporary loan,
in this respect it differs from any security or
loan like a mortgage or a judgment.
These are some few considerations which
commend this Loan to every one whose means
will enable him take a little. It is issued in
sums of SSO, SIOO, SSOO, SI,OOO, $5,000, and
each one can subscribe for whatever amount
their means w ill allow. It is the duty of each
one to do something to maintain the Govern
ment, the use of money is an all-important and
essential requisite, and those who remain at
home can testify their confidence and put riot
ism in this way, and we hope that there will
le a large list from this County.
THE LATEST WAR NEWS
The gallant fight which took place the other
day at Boliver, where our toops were so bril
liantly successful, was on Friday followed by
a second battle. In the morning the Rebels
appeared on the heights and attacked the Na
tional troops under Major Gould, using artil
lery aloue. Major Gould, returned the fire by
cannister from the gun captured from the en
emy himself ; the Rebels were beaten back,
but not till they had wreaked their vengeance
by burning a mill from which our trorps had
taken a great quantity of wheat, aud making
the miller a prisoner. At the latest aecounst
the firing was going on between the comba
tants ; Major Gould was throwing shot and
shell after the enemy who was in retreat.—
Great terror prevailed among the women and
children of the neighborhood,numbers of whom
were hastening to Maryland.
It is reported that the rebels who retired
from the Potomac in the vicinity of Harper's
Ferry on the aproach of the sickly season are
now returning to the river, that they were at
Charleston within a few days, and that they
will shortly make their appearance at the s v
eral fords along the stream. Stiring work is
looked fcr by the troops in that neighbor-
I hood.
' From Missouri we learn that Gen. Price
has, as was expected, made a stand in Cedar
County, 25 miles fro™ Qscola with 20,000
well armed and well disciplined troops, and a
large force of irregular militia. It is stated
that Hardee, with a large body of troops,
expected to join him by next Sunday, Geir
Fremont has reached Warsaw, and had on
Wednesday begun preparations to lay a pon
toon bridge across the Osage river. When
he arrived at Warsaw the opposite bank of
the river was fined with rebel cavalry who
were dispersed with a few rounds of canister.
It has beeu stated in several ways that for
want of adequate means of transportation, and
of the muddy state of the roads, Fremont would
not be able to move his army ; but in an in
creditble short time he is almost in face of the
enemy, ready to posh on with a vigor as gr at
as if his way were perfectly smooth and pleas
ant in every particular. We have news also
of a fight which occured at Pilot Knob, Mo.,
on Wednesday ; Major Oavit of the Ist Indi
ana eavalry made an attack on tbe enemy at
the place named ; but findng them too strong
for liiin, retired until he met re enforcement of
COO ; than forming an ambuscade he led the
pursuing rebels into it, and in a short time
they were coinpletly routed.
We hear by the way of Cincinnati that Gen.
Sherman on Thursday sent by telegraph to
Washington argent requests for re enforce
ments. Secretary Cameron and Adjutant-
General Thomas, who reached Cincinnati on
Friday, at once sent orders to Pittsburgh,
Indianapolis, and Chicago, for 8,000 men to
be sent to his aid. It is thought that sharp
work may be very soon expected iu that
section.
The conditions of the Potomac now chiefly
occupies the minds of people at Washington
It appears that though there are upon the
banks many guns, they cannot easily reach
the ships as they pass ; consequently the risk
of the passage is very small. Reconnoissancs
show that at Lresburg the rfcbel force is not
large, and that the enemy is evucuating the
place as rapidly a possible ; the same is true )
ofPairfaxCourt Ilou.se. Beauregard is said !
to have withdrawn to Manassas, leaving a
strong guard at Centvcviile, and it is believed j
ty some that at the latter place a light may
lie made when oar army advances.
It is reported from Missouri, ihut Gen Wy
inun, with 2 500 men, has arrived at Lvi.n j
Creek, where lie dispersed a body of rebels, kill '
iug a large number, taking more than 20<i
prisoners, and capturing a great quantity of i
property which the enemy had stolen. G n.j
Fr. tuoiit, on Friday night, was still at War-1
saw ; the pontoon hridge, constructed by h in
over the O-age river, was to be finished on
Saturday ; SigePs division had crossed the
river. It was reported that B<n. MeCulloelt
bad re enforced Price and that this
combined army had fortified that town ai d
there waited to give battle to Gen. Fremont.
Another dispatch says that it is Carthage
where Pi ice means to make his stand. Still
another report concerning Rebel affars in
Missouri states that Gen. Johnston has been
placed in command of all the rebels in that
Stale ; but it is not intimated whether he su
persedes Pri< eor not. All the reports from
that section imply clearly that a hard buttle,
with a large force on each side, mnst soon be
fought there. The City of Lexi gton was re
captured by Maj White oa the 16th iust. A
large number of our wounded were released,
and a number of the rebel garrison were cap
tured, together with their arms, etc. The in
habitants, who had been plundered, were
found to be in n deplorable condition
THE PROBABLE COMPLEXION OF THE NEXT
LEGISLATURE.
We have tried our utmost to present a com
nlete list of the members elected to the next
Legislature, but the returns are coming in so
slowly, and the votes in some counties are so
evenlv balanced, that nothing but an official
count of the nrmv vote next November will
decide the result. The following table, how
ever, has been prepared with much care and
we believe can be relied on as more correct
than the staements relating to the same sub
jeot, made by any of our contem[>oraries —
The army vote may possibly change the re
sult in one or two instances.

experience, tint the Gospel comes to ns not in w -i "i';B
but in power, and in the H dy Ghost, and in much

near, she selected lines to be sung on the occasion of
funeral, indicative of the state of her miuil.afe'.B
which we subjoin ;
A beam from heaven is sent to cheer
The pilgrim on her gloomy road,
And angels are attending near,
To bear ber to her bright abode.
Who would not wish to dip like those
Whom (ion's own spirit deigns to bless.
To sink into that soft repose,
Tbere wake to periect happiness.
