The Dying Wife.
You'll lliink of me, sometimes, beloved,
Whim ! situ gone from sight!
When you can see me nevermore,
You'll not forget me quite.
V,Hi ll miss sometimes at twilight hour,
v low and loving tone —
*■ Your heart will sometimes feel a pang,
When heating all alone.
i
You'll think ot days forever gone,
And grief may wring a tear,
„ From eyes that have but seldom wept,
Hut ! shall not he here ;
You'll come and go and vet that smile
That once your fond eyes met,
Will faded he—forever fled,
But oh, do not forget!
1
When cold and lifeless is the form
That's nestled on thy breast;
When chill and marble-like the lips
That once thine own have pressed,
Oh, sometimes think of me, and come
l nto the quiet spot,
Where f .-hail slumber lone and still:
But oh ! not quite forget!
You'll think of me when sitting ’side
My lone and vacant chair ;
\nil sometimes, love, oh! gaze upon
This golden tress of hair!
Ami think that, with its sister curls,
li floated o’er the brow
That rests within the lowly grave,
So damp and pallid now.
But yet your grief will pass away
hike dusty shades of night;
TV-Vv press wreath you’ll change, beloved,
For one with (lowers white;
You'll fondly love another one,
And call her thine—but yet
Your lost young bride, your first beloved,
Oli, do not quite forget!
* And she, thy chosen one, may bring
A heart of love to thee,
But inti more lo ing, true, than mine,
I know ii cannot be.
But mine must throbless, pulseless be,
Its warm outgushings still,
But von will sometimes think of her.
Who rests so pale and chill.
Oli! sometimes fancy that my arms
Are fondly round thee twined,
And that my cheek, once warm and fair,
Is closely pressed to thine.
• When I am gone, forever gone,
I’d lie remembered yet:
Oh! think of me sometimes, beloved,

conn- over Jackson since the passage of the law.

A mi,-an say to your “me: of inHn.-mr” who make
the statements contained in your letter, that there is
not one gallon of liquor drank in Jackson now (hi
tih.v gallons drank before the law went inltn fli-et.
dur merehants are beginning to feel tin evil of keep
ing it in their stores, and some who have heretofore 1
dealt it out freely to their customers, and snld it by!
the gallon, have resolved to keep none in future; and ;
I when this resolve shall become general, as I trust it
will, then ’intemperance will have made its last stag
ger in Jackson and we shall stain! redeemed, regen
erated, and disenthralled from the greatest i-ur-a that
am- veifnl (bid has ever permitted tnallliel the w m-ld.
“It was Rum that did it,.’’
Knell was the text from which wnsprea,-bed a most
impressing sermon, reeenllv, in mu- i-m - city ,
Buffalo; and the text was the sermon also, and text
anil sermon were the last words of one of err-!
ing creatures.
There was no organ with its .swelling notes dying
away in lengthened aisles to open the S’ rviee-, there
were no anthems of joy and praise with w huh to con
finite the worship of Hod, there was no ham-diction
sweetly braking upon the car of devout worshippers
as they rose front cushioned seats to leave the house ‘
of prayer; 1 tit the service was imposingly solemn J
and it sank deep into the hearts of an aw e stricken !
assembly.
I It was the “Court of Death.” There stood justice,
j stern justice, in the person of the executive of the
j law, and in his hand the warrant vdiich commanded
i him to revenge the injury done to the pence and dig
nity of society ; there were the men of t tod devoutly
, I asking offended Heaven to purify the hlood-sUined
soul of the trembling victim; there was the platform,
the gallows, the rope, the drop, and, observed of all,
there stood tiic cringing, shivering outcast who was
to expiate his crime by yielding up h s miserable life
as the last lesson he could read to evil-dm is. That
I criminal was the preacher, robed in a frock of white,
| girt by ti black saslt, and on his brow the fatal ,-ap.
j During this dressing for the grave the detracted man
| cried out:
■‘Great God ! Oh! my God ! wlmt an end I have
i come to! Merciful God, look down mi me! Oh!
j Lord have mercy on my sou!! // cv • rum ihn> iliil

To his dying moment did that Icrrilied man pro
! claim that his murdered yvife did mil offend him in
i any thing, that he loved Iter, and yet undo the in
; I'ernal spell of rum had he imbrued his hand in lu-r
blood; that hand with which, threi short months
j before, lie bad pledged her his love and protection.
We have never read of a more hannu ing seem
than the death of Harry. He shrieked w ith (error,
and his cries for mercy were piteou. But lie had
hern guilty of one of the foulest murder- on record,
; and lie must ‘lie; the safety of society demanded his
life, lie could not escape his fate, and In- stood with |
the halter about bis neck, and the hatchet w i raised
to sever the chord which should launch him with
hi . ins full-blown into eternity, and there, looking I
upon tin terrible past ami the dreadful future, did |
tie r;:i his voice and utter the fearful -, :•■ nine ,
against the use of intoxicating drink.
Will flic world hear and heed the wm ds , ft Ir
-pairing man ? “Oh that l should come to -m-h an j
I end! It wasrunt that did it,” Will tlior . i., i ‘
