Mr, G otge W Fdts is a member
of one of the highly esteemed fam¬
ilies in this county. Hist ther is one
ot the comm-ssonersrs roads, reve
nues and bridges of *v arren. Several
years since G. W. F. was very dis¬
sipated. but after his marriage to*
Miss Dosia Cody he got to he a
sober, steady benedict, and united
with the Baptist church. His caper

children. He has not been seen
since he walked away from the
scene of the murder.

HE DIED WELL.
Only a few months ago Judge
Black of P tisylvania utterly anui.il
ated the infidel theories of Ingersol
in an article published in the North
American Review. Ho had lived the
life of a chriitian, and when he
advocated the pure Principles of
chrisrianity, he was seeking to make
manifest t» o hms the existence of
their divine origin already made clear
to his own consciousness. His lan
guage and argument were sublime.
He was never clearer or more poiu^
ted; and as thinker and a writer he
has never had a superior among the,
American people. He died last week,
lie had been a great statesman and
jurist, but the grandeur ot has char¬
acter was never more apparent than
while in the conscious presence of
immediate death. Here is the
egraphiu account, of tho closing
scene
S1 > lt '> ! et r * J ' Blat ' k f ’ 1 Iie
said to hiS -wile: “Haw enn I T tear to
cross tlie daric river when my falh el .
vaits for me on the the. shore; and
added: “ Would I was as comfortab e
atiout alt I leave behind unfinished
in tins world.’’ and then breathed
tiie following lamest players n 0b,
thus beioved and most merciful lieav..
eiilv father, from whom I had my
being and in whom I have ever trus
ted if it be thy will, grant that my
sufferings end and that I speedily
called home to thee; and bless and
comfort thus my Mary.”
Can the infidai lagers ol thus face
death with confidence and prap-r for
the comfort of his bereaved and and
disconsolate wife.

ANTONY ANI) CLEOPATRA.

I am dying, Egypt, dying.
Ebbs the crimson life-tide fast
And the daiv Plutonian shadows
Gather on the evening blast.
Let thine arms, O Queen, simport mi;
Hush tliy sobs, and bow thine ear:
llean-en to the great heart -ecrets,
Thou, and thou alone, must hear.
Though my scarred and vet -ran legions
Bear tneir eagles high no more,
And my wrecked arid scattered galleys
Stiew dark Actiums fatal shore ;
Though no glittering guards surround
me
Prompt to do their master’s will ;
I must perish like a Roman,
Die the great Triumvir still.
Let not Caesar’s serrile minions
Mock the Lion thus laid low ;
Twas no foeruan’.s hand that slew him
Twas his wn that, struck the blow.
Hear, then pillowed on thy bos m,
Eve hi- ster fades quite awaj,
Him who, drunk with thy c-resses,
Madly flung a world away.
Should the base plebeian rabble
Dare assault m.v fame at Home,
When the noble spouse Oclavia,
Weeps within her widowed home ;
See 1 - her, say the Goes ba-e told me,
Alta-s, Augurs, circling wings
That her blood with mine comr-,. ugled,
Yet shall mou-t the throne of king-.
And for thee, Starry e; ed Egypt-an,
Glorious sorceress of the Nile,
Light the path to Stygian horrors,
With the splendor of thy smi'e.
Give this Caesar crowns -nd arches
Let his brow the laurel twine;
I can 6cora the Senate’s triumphs,
Triumphing in love like thine.
I am dying, Egypt, dying ;
Hark! the insulting foeman’s cry ;
They-are Let coming—quica, front I my die. falchion !
me them ere
Ah ! no more amid the battle.
Shall my heart exultant swell
Isis and Osiris guard fate ;
Cleopatra, Rome, farewell
