DIED--In Pope county, on the 18th August, at the residence of Mir. A. Y. Smith, Mrs SUSAN PARKS, in the Goth rear of her age. She was an excellent mother and valuable member of society.

 MON ODY. Death once again his fiery dart has hurled With his stern purpose and unhinching

 hand Another soul unto its home hath fled, And like fabric of uncertain sand. Your hopes and joys unto slte an-s gre

 famed. A mother who hath nursed you in the bud- Whose good deeds will for monuments

 upstand, Along the way which she with patience

 tTod, 1t length hath calmly reached the bosom

 of her God. The tide ofIife's vast ocean onward flows, And we must weep, as wave breaks af-

 ter wave, Leaving us at the last to our own woes. That God, the feeble spark of life that

 gave,

 Asks it again-and 'tis but vain 10 crave With sad lament, the soon retaben loan; Or weep above the dim and silent grave, For that which never Was, at best, our

 own Yet still affection must, will make its sad

 deniGg moan. Weep on then, sufferers! but not as those Who have no hope ,-she whom the grave

 doth keep, Sank into death as 'twere calm repose-- Her corse IS mouldering in its prison

 deep,

 Her spirit, to which life " as but sleep Of weary dreams, IS now awake in flea

 yen,

 Tread you that road tho it be harsh and

 steep Die as she died, in Iife's untroubled even, And meet your sainted mother, with your

 sins forgiven. Kind friends! stranger makes this mo-

 nody--

 The humble tribute of a lonely heart. Life rolls along it's endless mystery, And you and l full soon for aye must

 part.

 Oh, gentle spirit. that in Heaven art. Still, like an influence of soothing love, The tumult of your children's throbbing

 heart--- Ger its commoted waters calmly move. And fit it kindly for it's residence above. frsrPrinters in the Western District of Tennessee, are requested to copy the no- tice of her u death.---[ Communicated.
