For the Georgia Collegian.
A Lament,
Suggested by the Death of young “ Willie
Mel If son of the Vice Chancellor of the
University of Georgia.
BY MRS. C. AY. DUBOSE.
The wintry sun shines mournfully
Where Willie lies a sleeping,
And in the home, no more his own,
Foml hearts are sadly weeping;
The Reaper stern, whose name is Death,
Whose greed can know no measure,
Breathed on his heart, with icy breath,
Then bore away their treasure!
Oconee rolls her ceaseless tide,
Around his narrow dwelling—
Each wavelet in its restless flow,
The mournful requiem swelling;
The breeze that blows, o’er mountain
snows,
Sighs out the thrilling numbers,
And sadly strews with sheltering leaves,
The grass where Willie slumbers.
He early sleeps, the well beloved,
The young heart, strong and glowing—
In all the flush of youthful pride
His life pulse ceased its flowing;
His lightsome step shall cross no more,
The threshold of his dwelling—
His feet have reached the other shore,
Where Death’s dark, waves are swell
ing.
Full many hearts shall ache to hear
The voice that’s stilled forever—
And many eyes shall pine to see,
The smile that greets them never!
In vain for him, through College halls
Shall peal the deep voiced calling—
No tone may pierce the silent sod
Where morning dews are falling!
But still we trust, oh Willie dear!
One day again to thee—
If in our father’s home above
Our ransomed souls may greet thee!
Till then, we leave thee to the care
Os Him who knows no sleeping—
Glad e’en for this—the boy we loved
Is in His faithful keeping !
Sparta, Feb. 1870.
Not at Home.
A gentleman called on a lady one
day, and was told by the servant
that she was not at home. As he
turned to go out, he caught a glimpse
of her head in a mirror through a
half-open door. An hour after he
called on another friend, and found
the lady there. “I have just been
to your house/' said he, “ but had
not the pleasure of seeing you.”—
“Indeed 1 I’m so sorry. But I went
out in great haste on business.” “In
6uch haste, I presume, that you left
your head behind you, for I saw it in
the glass.” “ Did you ? It is very
possible ; I am so absent-minded.”
