LiteNlLetter 31(Eniclm64.
Life .has it moments
Of beauty and bloom ;
But they hang like sweet roses
On .the edge of thAntsib,
Blessings they bring us,
As lovely as brief;
They meet us when happy
And leave us in grief. '
Hues in the morning.
Tinging the sky,
Come on the sunhenms,
Anti off with them Ay,
Shadows of erkting
Jiang short‘on the shore,
Darkness 'enwraps them;
We see them no more.'
So life's /better moments
In brilliatiee appear,
Dawning
Onr \ jot6ney to.rhrrr;
Round us they linger,
• Like shadows of even.
Would that we likr Ahern, '
Might melt into he wen:

Mrs. Martin reprefients the struggle as
most terrific. She-says that toward evening.
when Burgoyne; maddened by the' concious
ness that his splendid schemes were about
to be defeated, directed his whole reserve and
cavalry force upon_ the feeble army of the
patriots, the contestants shwa' within :half
musket range of each %ther e and poured in
their deadly rollers, while whole filA on tilts

Towaids evening Mr. Martin was Wounded
in the shoulder, and While his, wife Was in the
