LIFE.
The hours of spring on downy wing,
Pass soon and sweetly by,
And ere we know the summer’s glow
Has changed to autumn’s dye.
And autum days, (but brief delays
To winter's rigid reign),
Allure awhile but to beguile
The coming hours of pain.
Thus briefly told, the seasons hold
The fete that o’er us 'pends;
'Tis rapid change and bap’nlngs strange,
Till death the drama ends.

A face still lingers in view
That I did once lovingly meet,
It bore a look so fond aud true,
And a smile so chaste and sweet.
In the wakeful hours of night,
Mid the busy cares of day,
That beautiful face still sheds its light
On my life’s eventful way.
Death would vail It from my sight,
But Memory holds it yet;
Death, who life’s rich joys may blight,
Cannot make the heart forget.
I see him oft in the dreams of day,
Tho’ he sleeps In a far away land,
And my heart cries out for his magic sway,
And the clasp of his little hand.

Where the old liomeste d trees
Poured their sweet balm of peace
Over his head,
Where the birds’ blissful lays
Gladdened his childhood days,
Let him be laid:
Under the daisied sod
Oft by his footsteps trod,
Tenderly lay him there,
Fame’s deathless helrl
There let the Statesman sleep,
There let his Georgia keep
Vigil and guard;
There, through the endless years,
Love’s praise and holy tears
Be his reward;
Thoro let the wild flowers shed
Light on his lowly bed,
Starring the cypress gloom
Shrouding his tomb.
Life’s toilsome Journey done,
Fame’s splendid guerdon won,
Lay him to rest;
Georgia, in loving trust,
Shall keep his sacred dust
Safe in her breast;
He was her noblest child
Great and yet undeflled,
Bearing, for her renown,
Both cross and crown.

they do is to dress up becomingly and
