The Little Boy that Died.
f un all alone in my chamber now,
And the midnight hoar is near,
And the faggot’s crack, and the clock’s dull
tick,
Are the only sounds I hear;
Andover my soul iu its solitude,
Sweet feelings of sadness glide;
For my heart srod my eyes are full, when I
thing
Ot the little boy that died.
I went one night to my father’s house—
Went home to the dear one’s all,
And softly I opened the garden gate,
And softly the door of the hall,
3fy mother came out to meet her son,
She kissed me and theu she sighed,
And her head fell on my neck, and she wept
For her little boy tbat died.
And when I gazed on his innocent face,
As still and cold he lay,
And thought what a lovely child he had
been,
Aod how soon he must decay, _
* Oh Death, thou lovest the beautiful,”
In the woe of my spirit I cried,
For sparkled the eyes, and the forehead was
fair,
Of the little boy that died.
Agaiu I will go to my father’s bouse—
Go home to the dear one’s all,
And sadly I’ll open t n garden gate,
And sadly the door of the hall,
1 shall meet mother; but never more,.
With her darliug by her side:
But she'll kiss me and sigh and weep again
For the little boy that died
I shall miss him when tbeflowrets come
In the gardeu where he played;
I shall mi is him more by the tire side,
When the flowers have all decayed,
I shall sec his toys and his empty chair,
And the horse he used to ride ;
And they will speak, with a silent speech,
Of the little boy that died.
I shall see his little sister again
With her playmates about the door,
And I’ll watch'the children in their sports,
A s i never did before;
And if, in the group 1 see a child
That’s dimpled aud laughing eyed,
1*11 look to see if it may not be
The little boy that died.
W« shall all go home to our father's boose—-
To our Father’s house in the skies,
Where the hope of our souls shall have no
blight,
And our love’nobroken ties;
We shall room on the banka of the river of
peace,
Aud bathe in its blissful tfde;
And one eftlie joys of heaven shall be
The iittle boy that died !
And therefore, when Tara sitting alone,
And the midnight hour is near,
When the faggot’s crack, aud the clock's dull
tick
Are the only sounds I hear;
Oh sweet o’er ray soul, in its solitude,
Are the feelings of sadness that glide;
Though my heart and my eyes are full when
1 think
Of Che little boy tbat died.

I N presenting this work to the public* the
publishers believe that they are supplying
a desideratum, the want of which has been
long felt by tbe reading community, and
especially,by the people atlarge. No other
work, much less any other single volume,
contains the complete and extended view of
extire American history which is here pro.
seated. The plan aud execution of the book
are entirely new; the arrangement of the
various European Provinces uuder their re
spective national heads, and the subdivision
of these into separate Colonies aud Statesrjr
due chronological order bein p'roserved^
will, it is thought, make it of peculiar value
as a book «.f reference, aud greatly facilitate
a clear aud accurate knowledge of general
history.

PURIFICATION OF THE BLOOD
AND
Liver & Bilious Complaints.
The Citizens of the Union suffer much from
disorders of the Liver and Stomach, scarcely
any are free from the influence of these des
tructive maladies, hence life wears fast. The
fair sex, perhaps the handsomest in the
world, up to a certain period when,distros-s
iag to say, many lose their teeth and good
looks, while yet iu the lieytlay pf life. Such
sad evils may be effectually remedied by con
tinually keeping the blood pure, and the Liv
er and stomach in a healthy action,when life
will flow smoothly, aud resemble plants in a
congenial clime, where an eternal spring ap
pears to reign. As it regards the preserva
tion of the human frame, and the duration of
life,-much may be effected, and I say fear
lessly, that health nd life can be prolonged
for many years beyond their ordinary limits,
if Holloway’s Pills aie taken to purify the
blood according tothorulis laid down for
health contained in the directions v.-hich ac
company each box.
