field of labor is to the full as extensive as in our

that many hundreds of our fellow-citizens will become

background is as dark as the dingy leather
hangings of the ywithdrawing-room" at Kenil
worth can nuke it. Among these lingering sha
dows the dusky velvets of the courtiers are
planted like sombre mosses in a tomb; this is
not enough, but the centre of the composition is
occupied by a tall buffet in Tudor style, of the
very oldest and blackest oak, against which is
lifted the dazzling figure of Elizabeth. blazing
with ire, and forming a shaft of light in the pic
ture. From her red hair and passion-pale face.
down across her white bosom, jew
led stomacher and lily band, to where
her satin foot shines like a lotus
bud upon the inlaid floor, she makes a
towering flame of rage and magnificence, that
s trikes clean across the room where the picture
hangs, traverses the long bridge of the neighbor
ing gallery, and attracts spectators from the ex
creme eastern chamber to see what
coruscation it is that has been struck
from the loaded wall. The Queen burns
and •lightens, among the antique glooms o

he would be a bungler to leave it so. a sharp.
bright mosaic upon the dark: to moderate and
tone this splendor without bereaving it of its
value, and to carry off the determination of color
to the centre, through a series of embracing tints,
that was the next and more elaborate task. Her
gleaming satin kirtle, revealed as a breadth of
light by the scornful action with which she
sweeps back her crimson train le,t it should
touch the abject courtier, touches a succession of
whites, ermines, warm grays, the drab upholstery
of the State-chair, the subdued silver-colored bed
tent, and melts at last, after circling around the
right margin of the picture, into a gorgeous
Venetian painting, arranged for the purpose,
against the ceiling, above the buffet, and over the.
Queen's head. At the left, the lustrous damask
withdrawn from; the doorway which leads into
the crowded audience hall, continues the canopy
of light which enfolds the composition, and lets
it die on the hand of Tressilian which rests upon
the volume of Shakespeare. Then, bending
against the fulminating magnificence of the
Queen, comes the head of the prostrate Leicester,
dark-splendid, lowering, laid in a cup-like ruff
which shines like a pearl-shell, finished until it is
almost a bus-relief, and altogether one of the
rudest, deepest, roundest masses of modeling that
Rothermel has ever achieved. His sword and
hanger cross the bright marquetry of the floor,
the former pointing and leading the eye to the
rich dais-cloth and the garland of bright stuffs
which enwraps the picture. Behind the queen
stands Shrewsbury with his baton, his head de
fined with the black velvet toque, beside the
gray profile of Burleigh, a master
piece of finesse, most exquisitely planted'
against the cool fresh hue of the bed-pavilion.
The chamberlain who waits with Leicester's
glittering star and diamond George, the regalia
scintillating against his plush, is the remaining
figure. These are the particulars of such a scone
of sumptuousness and regal state as Rothermel's
pencil was made to revel in.
If you cannot see all that in the picture, you
do not know how to look at a Rothermel. If
you go up to it with wild pedantic questions
about the anatomy of Elizabeth's torso, and the
joining of Dudley's legs to the pelvis, and
whether the latter is caving in or no, and
whether the former looks most like a Queen or
a china shepherdess tumbling from a mantle
piece, you only prove your inability to appreci
ate a man who is a master in his
way. Rothermel is not going to give
you enough drawing, enough good dra•
pery, enough historical research, to distract
your thoughts from the gorgeous bouquet of
color and chiaroscuro It is his business to come
pose. To estimate the value of his work, stand

of its detail. You seem to be fed with spiced
dainties, "every one from silken Bamareand to
(Adored Lebanon." The canvas burns like a
crumbling winter fire in some old chimney an
Inch deep with soot. Then look around the
walls and see how fatally Mr. Rothermel's com
position annihilates the other pictures. The
neat best color-bit, you Kaulbach's portrait of
King Louis of Bavaria, how mean and dead !
Baumgartner's Hospital, how rude and bricky !
As 'or the ncighbbring picture, Mr. Lambdin's
cabinet portrait, it is simply effaced. Admitting
Mr. Rotbermel into the neighborhood of placid
respectability is like turning the eagle into a
dovecote.
The "Leicester," a very recent subject, proves
in a gratifying way that Rothermel's singular pow
ers. so far from declining, are improving every
day. In what he attempts to do, his hand is be
coming more firm and rapid, his eye more exqui
site, as one patient hour joins itself to another.
Our hope, therefore, that his countrymen will
have cause to congratulate themselves for having
entrusted to his genius a great national work, be

lars.
[From the New York Tribune of to.cley.l
Gabof de Naphegvi a pseudo Hungarian
patriot, was arrested at Ldgewater, S. 1.. yester
.ay morning for forgery. The following are the
in otement facts °file Colonel's difficulty : Some
unto in April. 18G7, Naphegyi. who had long
,ten the secretary and financial agent of the ex-
Mexican dictator Santa Anna, appeared at the
thee of Powell, Green & Co.. No. $8 Broad
,tretit. New fork, and presented to the
nior member of the firm a recommenda
tory letter from the lion. Reverdy Johnson
.4 Maryland, . on the credit of which letter
Naphegyi received from that firm the sum of
:50 bon. Nothing transpired to excite their sus-
I deion until February, 1868, when in the course
of an interview with Senator Johnson, Mr.
Columbus Powell ascertained from him that the
tester was a forgery. with the existence 'of which
tic. Mr. Johnson. had been entirely unacquainted
up to that moment. This declaration on the part
A Mr. Johnson naturally rendered the advancers
A the e 50,000 somewhat anxious to bring Col.
Naphegyi to terms touching the money thus un
tidily obtained by him. For awhile, however,
:bey bore patiently with the Colonel's too numer
tins procrastinations, but finding ultimately
that they could not elicit a settlement from the
Hungarian by amicable means, they decided on
trying the efficacy of legal measures, and had him
.crested- The erring patriot was taken before
Justice Garrett, and committed in default of
it:11'0.1200 bail. His case is to be investigated at
:!tapleton, on . Monday, the 4th of May. The
Colonel has assumed the deportment of injured
innocence, and avers that this attempt on the
par tof Powell Co. to victimize him 16 in retali
ation for the repudiation by his former principal,
Santa Anna, of his American obligations. by
which repudiation Powell .\ Co. have been
deralale losers.
'Gabor de .Istaphegyi has been caught at last.
For years Le has been passing himself off as a
titingarian, and once at St. Louis, in 1850, he re
presented himself as a secretary of Louis
Kossuth. He is not a Hungarian, but a native of
Pisek, near Prague, in Bohemia, and his name
b Sonnenberg. Ile very cleverly translated his
came into Hungarian. SU1111( - being Sap, and Berri
t 4:ing llegy. Ile made his first appearance in
this vonntry at New Orleans in 18410, and after a
short stay In that laity, the police were at his heels.
Ihe cause of it was a portrait of Gen. Taylor in
glass beads on waxed paper, which he exhibited
it the St. Louis and St. Charles Hotels for rattle,
and after selling nearly all the "chances," it is
said that he took both the money and the pic
ture, and was for ever after missed in that lo
cality. A Catholic prest at Carrollton,Louisiana,
might probably tell something of this man's
biding for a week or so: at least some of this
priest's gold coin found its way to St. Louis,
without the priest's consent. Here, as the guest
of banker Mandelhaum, and the protege of Drs.
Pollak, Pope and Front. he failed in his endeav
ors to exhibit a hydro-oxygen gas microscope
and a solar microscope, and after involving
the Con Vent of St. Francis Xavier,
the Female Seminary of the Sacred
Heart, and a number of private gentlemen in
heavy loss; he suddenly disappeared. While at
St. Louis, he published in the .1 nzeiger,a - German
paper, a series of sketches, which a gentleman
now connected with the New York press wrote
for him. These sketches he afterward caused to
be translated into English, and palmed them off
as original. He was in this city for a while, but
about the time Kossuth arrived he left and went
to Washington, where he succeeded in amusing
the then President, Mr. Fillmore, by a translation
of the Lord's Prayer and the Constitu
tion, in fifty-four languages. Ile soon made
oil, and when Gov. Ujhazy reached Austin, in
Texas,in 1853,he was introduced to "Col." Gabor
tie Naphegyi, a professor of modern languages in
the I 'niversity of Texas. As a matter of course,
Mr. Sonnenberg did not await the rise of the son,
but decamped and went to Mexico. At Vera Cruz
and the City of Mexico he undertook to build gas
works, earned money, and for a while made an
honest living. The year 1865 saw him back
again in New York, as a commission merchant,
at No. -15 Beaver street. His harvest was,greatest
when Doa Antonio - Lopez de Santa Anna so
journed here, preparing for an expedition to
Mexico. This Mexican agitator was a guest at
Naphegyi's house on Staten Island, and
we have perused a memorial of
Don Santa Anna, jr., nephew of the Mexican
ex-President, in which it is made clear
that if it be true, as lately reported from Havana,
that Santa Anna is penniless, this worthy pseudo
Hungarian and his presumed confederates have a
large share of the result to answer for. When he
began at New Orleans and St Louis,twenty years
tgo, he was satisfied with a few hundred dollars;
he has extended his operations now to the tune
of as many hundreds otthousands,and it is about
time that his career Should be stopped. At one
time he came very near receiving a life-professor
ship of chemistry in the Canadian University.
Will not some of our neighbors across the line,
p irticularly those who suffered in the beet-root
sugar operations, send down to have a look at
their man ?
'A he 'Kesel,. Murder in Wisconsin—Ar
rest of the Murderers.
[From the Winona Republican, April 21.1
On a Sunday afternoon last Fall, a, young man
named John Teach, son of a well known Mil
waukee druggist, was foully murdered while out
for a walk in the suburbs of that city. His bruised
and lifeless body was found lying near the rail
road track, but no clue to the perpetrators of
the crime could be obtained. About a month
ago a man was arrested upon whom suspicion
rtsted as being one of the parties implicated;
and tile suspicion proved to be correct, as he
made a confession of the whole affair,implicating
two others, named Howard and Craig, and desig
nating Howard as the principal. To effect the ar
rest of these other two outlaws, twelve detectives
were set to work. It was ascertained that
Howard's parents resided at Madison, Wis., and
a detail was made to watch the Postroffice at
that place for letters from him. By an inter
cepted letter, last week, it was ascertained that
ha was at Bt. Charles, Winona county, Minn.,
where ho arrived about a week ago, in company
with Craig, each of them hiring out to work on
a farm. The detective arrived at St. Charles yes
terday morning, and, in company- with the Dep
uty Sheriff i .started at once for his men. They
first arrived at the farm where Oraigmas at work,

and as be drove up to the barn at noon, with the
farmer's team, the detective stepped up and said:
`Craig, I want you;" and proceeded to ivon him.
Craig made no resistance, and entered into no
conversation. He is about 25 years of age, dark
complexion and hair, and has a hang-dog look.

Sheriff. the detective then drove over to the lam
where Howard was at work, and found him just
Fitting down to dinner. On the detective's enter
tog the room Howard glanced at him, and, to nee
the detective's expression, "just wilted," as he
was acquainted with the officer, and at

him, and the culprits were taken to the station,.

A Priest Rlordered to Order at Naples—
Extraordinaz-y
[Naples (April Cor. London Times J
After an interval of nearly three years between
the commission of the crime and the verdict of
the jury, a murder case of a most heinous char
acter was finally tried last week. It is marked by
three features—the horrible character of the
crime, and comparative leniency of the punish
ment, end the slow administration of justice.
The case was tried, Indeed, in 1866, the murder
having been committed in 1865; the sentence was
annulled by the Court of Cessation, and only
last week was a final verdict of the jury pro
nounced before an extraordinary court. What
ever improvements, therefore, may have taken
place in Southern Italy in the administration of
justice, there is great room for many more. One
of the prettiest villas in the charming neighbor
hood of Capodionieute• now inhabited by an
English family, was in 1665 tenanted by Captain
Nicsistro, his wife and sister. The Rev. Stefano
Pirolo, spiritual director of the Military College
of the Nunziatella, was an intimate friend of the
family, and on the evening of the 20th of Sep
tember, in the absence of the captain, went to
visit the ladies. As the night came on he took
leave of them, and, in spite of the most
diligent search, no traces of him were
found for twelve days, when the body was found
floating on the water of a cistern in the grounds.
It was dressed as on the evening when the priest
left the house, and his watch, purse and cigar
case were on it. Robbery was not, therefore, the
motive of the crime. The orderly of the captain,
the porter, the gardener and the guardian of the
villa, .who were arrested immediately, most
stoutly denied all knowledge of the crime, but
Rizzo. the gardener, afterwards confessed that
Sepe,the gutt:e lan,had offered him ..C2. out of £l7,
which bad been promised him by a Signora Ma
niscalcone for the murder of the priest, who was
dishonoring the family. Rizzo refused, and was
threatened with being cut in pieces if he breathed
a word of the affair, but on the night of the crime
be was compelled to be present. The manner of
committing it was thus: As soon as the priest
appeared, the orderly from behind threw a sheet
over his head, and struck him to the ground.
After having reduced him- to an almost lifeless
state, they put his bat and umbrella in the sheet,
and shot him out of it into the reservoir, throw
ing in at the same time heavy , stones to pre
vent the body from floating. This confession
was afterwards retracted by Rizzo, who
alleged that it bad been insinuated to him by the
Marchese Elephante, now deceased, but it was
confirmed by many witnesses in the trial, espe
cially by an under gardener,who said that on the
night of the murder he was ordered by the three
accomplices to watch at the gate. as they were
going to take some grapes and figs; that while
there he heard a heavy sound as of a body splash
ing in the water, and that on asking what it was,
they told him that they had thrown the priest in,
and would treat him in a like manner if he were
not silent. The jury found themguilty, and the
Court pronounced the sentence of twenty years'
hard labor for the orderly and the guardian,
and seven years, of seclusion for the gar
deeer. Thus, in a country where murder. 1B a
common occurrence—where not a week passes
without the -.S'oece N•lro" of the journals being
tilled with cases of the kind of a more or less
heinous character, three hired assassins, for they
bad no personal animosity against the priest, are,
after a delay of nearly three years, let off with
that which people of that class value above every
thing else—life. When punishment is so tardy
and so disproportionate to the crime, who can
wonder at its increase in Naples? and that it does
increase we have it on the highest judicial autho
rity in this city, who, in his usual address to the
Court at the commencement of the year de
clared that such was the fact The tragic inci
dent which I have related, as illustrative of much
that takes place in this country, excited at the
time a great sensation. Names of considerable
social respectability were mixed up with it; it
was a tale of intrigue, of jealousy, and vindic
tiveness, terminating in murder, which appealed
powerfully to the Imagination; but who, after the
lapse of three years, thinks of or even remembers
the tragedy enacted in the gardens of the Villa
Ruin on the night of the 2ct of September, 1865?
It is consolatory to know that in a country
where crime is so rife, and where the education
of the people Me been so grossly neglected,
;treat efforts are being made to instruct
them. Front an address delivered by Professor
Fusco, on the 1;ltla of March, when the prizes
awarded by the merchants of Naples were dis
tributed to the.successful pupils of the municipal
schools. it appears that, whereas in this city only
3,0e0 were educated gratuitously in 1861—and
how educated !—there are now 17,000; that,
whereas, in 1861 only 60,000 lire were expended
on this object annually, 600,000 lire are now
spent. From 1861 to 1868 upwards of 1,.500,000
lire have been expended by the municipality in
gratuitous education; 40,000 lire have been ex
pended by the merchants alone, and very cousid
eralle sums, perhaps as large, have been spent
by the Society for Infant Schools, by the Work
man Society, and by benevolent institutions.
A Very Impudent Traveler.
(From the St. Joseph (31o.) Union.)
It is said that the officers of the Hannittl
and St. Joseph Railroad were the victims of n
imposition that surpasses in impudence and ef
frontery almost any confidence game we have
read of in some time. A man came up on the
North Missouri Road to Macon, and finding no
train due west before the next day, stated to the
agent of the Hannibal and St. Joseph Road that
he was in the employ of the Navy Department of
the 'United States, and was the bearer of spe
cial despatches which had to arrive at
Omaha for the plains. The obli,gliig agent
immediately telegraphed to the Superin
tendent of the road, who, willing to aid
Uncle Sam, despatched a special engine
and passenger car to Macon City, at the same
time telegraphing to way stations to clear the
track, and instructing the engineer to put the la
comotive through at lightning speed, if he should
run the risk of bursting a boiler. The engineer
and car arrived at Macon on time. The gentle
man got aboard; the engineer cleared up the
throal, of his locomotive by keeping up a contin
ual whistle to warn intruders off the track, and
in less time than any engine ran over the road be
fore, the party arrived at St. Joseph, repaired to
the Pacific House, engaged the best suite of
rooms in the hone, and sent for the agent of the
Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad Packet Lino:
Mr. - informed the Superintendent that he
wanted to chatter a boat to start Immediately to
Omaha, akhe had despatches for leading officers
there that had to be delivered without delay.
Upon being informed that the packet Colorado
was Just about ready to leave for that city, ho
condescended to travel on a boat that carried
other passengers. On the trip up the river it is
said he was treated' with marked courtesy by the
officers. It is steed'eas to flay that they arrived
too late to see the Peace Clotamisslon.
General Ronorectu in Trouble.
The Virginia (Nevada) Enterpms. of April 7th
gives the following records of the doings of this
officer on the route between Cisco and Virginia,
and the experienee which he had in particular
with a stage . driver:
General Rousseau { commanding the Depart
ment of the Colombia, passed through this city
last Sunday, on his way to Washington, over
land. Ett3 was in too much of a hurry to stop and
receive the homage of the three Johnson men in
Btorey . county, and the only speech made by him
on this side of the mountains was grandilo
quently delivered to "Curly Bill," one of
the drivers of the stage in which the
General took passage from Cisco. In changing
stages somewhere along the route, the passen
gers annoyed the driver considerably by pitching
their trunks, carpet-sacks and bundles of blan
kets into the "boot" In a somewhat frenzied and
disorderly manner. The driver protested against
the proceeding, assuring the passengers that their
baggage would be properly attended to—but all
to no purpose. 14 Melly Gon. Rousseau digni
fiedly pitched a huge bundle of blankets into the
boot, and L:urly Bill, his patience now completely
exhausted, tumbled them off into thenud, when
the following little colloquy occurred :-
General Rousseau (striding forward and look
ing belligerent)—"Who threw those blankets of
mine into the mud?"
- -
Curly Bill (chin slightly protruding)—"l did."
R.(drawing himself up to hisfull height)—"Do
you know whq I am?"
B. (no reply, but a rather contemptuous sur
vey of the bulky anatomy of the General.)
R. (crushingly)—"l am General Rousseau,Com
mander of the Department of the Columbia."
B. (with. affected surprise)—"You don't say
R. (stunningly)—"Yes, sir. I do."
B. (impressively)—"Well, then, I'll just men
tion that I don't cure a— who you are, what you
command is, or where you came from."
R. (putting himself into a pugnacious pose)—
"I have a notion to punish your impertinence by
setting your nose up."
B. (squaring himself scientifically, and making
a rather uninviting display of pluck and muscle)
—"Have you, though ? That's right in my hand.
You're just the man I've been looking for. Peel
and roll in r [Here Bill began to work his
"thauleys" and lower his head as though contem
plating a charge with that organ upon the Gen
end's 'bread basket," when the latter retreated
to the. stage.
Gen. Rousseau is on his way to Washington.
He has been sent for by the President to testify
in his behalf before the Court of Impeachment.
The presumption, however, is that he will not
be wanted In Washington, and that had he been
laid up a week or two in a rough-and-tumble
fight with Curly Bill, no especial harm would
have been done. The telegraph announces that
the Impeachment Managers will anticipate Gen.
Rousseau's arrival :71 Washington by admitting
the point sought to be established by his testi
mon.y But it is his duty to hurry, nevertheless.
He may arrive in time to comfort the President,
if not to save him. He doubtless regarded Curly
Bill as an emmissary from Congress, sent thither
iu disguise knock him "out time." and
therefore discreetly avoided the encounter.
The Virginia 7'respasd adds :
"General Rousseau arrived in this city by the
Donner Lake stage, on his way overland to
Washington. He had a little misunderstanding . ,
by the way, with a stage-driver, and informed
that party that be was G eneral. Rousseau. The
driVer said he had no reason to doubt it, but it
didn't make any difference on that line. Then
the man of war proposed to 'set up' the driver's
nose—in a civil way, after the manner of a
civilian, you know. The other extended a cor
dial invitation to proceed, and the man of war
concluded he wouldn't do anything of the kind,
but reconstructed his baggage, and took his
chances with the other passengers.
A Great 111.11waical Festival 11l Boston.
The Boston Journal says : "The first regular
triennial festival of the Handel and Haydn Soci
ety will occupy the attention of our citizens dur
ing the first week of May, and that it shall in all
respects be a complete success the most,ample
preparations are made and on the most liberal
scale. The festival commences on the morning
of Tuesday, May sth, with Nicolai's 'Festival
Overture,' Mendelssohn's 'Ninety-fifth Psalm,'
and the 'Hymn of Praise,' and will close on the
Sunday evening following with Handel's Ora
torio of the 'Messiah.' The Intermediate
productions will be Handel's 'Samson,' on Tues
day evening; Mendelssohn's 'St. Paul,' on Thurs
day evening, and Haydn's 'Creation' on Satur
day evening. On the afternoon of each day a
symphony concert, including Beethoven's
Choral Symphony,' will be given. On the after
noon of Saturday, Mendelssohn's 'Reformation
Symphony,' which was ordered from Germany
expressly for this festival, will he ,given for the
first time in this country. The soloists engaged
are Madame Parepa-Rosa, Miss Adelaide Phillips,
Miss J. E. Houston, Mrs. Cary, Mr. George
Simpson, Mr. James Whitney, Mr. F. Winch,
Mr. 11. Wilde, Mr. J. F. Rudolphsen,
and Mr. M. W. Whitney. In addition, the
services of Miss Alide Topp, pianist, and Mr.
Carl Rosa, violinist, have been secured. The
chorus will number seven hundred voices, and as
the rehearsals have been quite frequent, as well
as arduous, we doubt not to have excellent in
terpretations of all the works. The orchestra
will number one hundred musicians; and the
2:reat organ will be handled by Mr. B. J. Lang.
The whole festival will be under the direction of
.Mr. Carl Zerrahn. The price of season tickets is
15 each, and are made transferable. Single
tickets to the oratorios are 82 50 and $1 50 each,
as to location, and to the symphony concert
1 v 0 and 1 each.
A Philadelphia Artist Abroad.
Mrs. Jenny Van Zandt (Mile. Vauzini) has
made her debut in London at the Royal Italian
opera as "Oscar" in Verdrs fla/to lit Muse/tem,
and has been very well received. The Daily News
says of her: "This lady has a light, flexible so
prano voice, of brilliant quality and considerable
power, with execution and style sufficient to
give unusual importance to a part which has ire
mently been filled by far inferior singers. Mlle.
Vauzini at once created a favorable impression
in her first air, Volta la terrea—an impres
sion that was improved in each subsequent
scene in which she appeared. In the well-known
quintet, f: scherzo od Julia (encored as
usual), and in the following finale, Mlle. Van
zini's clear bright quality of volee,and good phra
sing in the incidental passages alloted to the
Page, seemed to evidence a capability for parts
of more prominent importance. The 'lnvitation
to the ball,' too t was given with much piquancy;
the incidental shakes which form so marked a
feature in this solo being executed with great
neatness. In her air in the ball-room scene also
('Super vorreste') Mlle. Vauzini gained much ap
plause' and her success altogether was as great
as could well be in a part of secondary import
ance."
Dlr. Johnson's Punishment.
The New York Tribune of this morning con
tains this horrible suggestion :
"There is a rumor afloat that in case the Senate
ejects Johnson, the punishment of prohibition
from holding office is to be commuted to the
reading of all tha arguments made or filed upon
the trial. It is supposed that ~before he could
finish the job, his span of life would reach • its
close. We protest against such manifest cru
elty; the ago of torture has gone by.
Ono might worry through Butler, and labor
through Curtis, be might relish Boutwell, and go
stark crazy over Nelson's conundrums; ' but Wil
liams would weary and everlasting Everts exas
perate him. And then, to think of the solid
columns marching on, to say nothing of the ter
rible reserve 'on file' in the rear. ranks. If Mr.
Bcrgh's author fly reaches the case, we presume
ho will interfere—sach cruelty ,Is out of all
reason."

My wife had loft her home to seek
The glow I worshipped In her cheek,

A letter every day I maird,
And often said, in cheerful vein,
"The baby slept all night again."
All hallow'd by her tears and prayer'
He staid with me, it lessen'd cares,
If he, the nestiing, slept, I knew
My dove would slumber sweetly toch;
And so I wrote her now and then
"The baby slept allnight
One morn he languished by my
Death-sick, and with the day he dietid
And day with him. It was my will
That she I loved be happy still,
So wrote I in my wonted strain
"The baby slept all night
But when, in turn, she fondly wrote,
Her pet names using in her note,
With artless talk about the bed
Of him who slept so cold and dead;
I sat the bitter truth to pen
"He sleeps to wake no more agalu."
And when upon my breast she lay
And Bobbed her precious bloom away,
And grief met grief, while of the dead
We thought, within his narrow bed,
I said, and saw it ease her pain,
"Ile wakes to sleep no more again."
