 knew boy, whose infant feet had trod l Upon the blossoms of some seven springs, And when the eighth came round, and called nm out l To revel in its light, he turned away, And sought his chamber to lie down and die; | Twas night he summoned his accustomed trlends' ] And on this wise bestowed his last request: Mother, I'm dying now! There's deep suffocatiOn on my breast,

 And on % my brow browys Iri feel the cold sweat stand Say, mother, is this death? | Mother, your hand! Here, lay it on my wrist,

 And place the other thus beneath my head; And say, sweet mother, say, when am dead, Shall be missed :?

 l 'Never beside your knee

 Shall kneel down at night and pray,

 Nor in the morning wake, and sing the lay You taught to me. ! Oh at the time of prayer, l When you look round and see a vacant seat, You will not wait then for my coming feet 1 You'll miss me there! ! 'Father, I'm going home! Where s6ere is one bright summer, always bland, | And tortures do not come; From faintness and from pain,

 esnsss doss nSs srs and Shall meet again!

 Brother, the little spot

 used to call my garden, where long s hSuIs aov.rs

 

 Plant there some box or pine, Something that lives in winter, and will be verdant offering to my memory, And call it mine. Sister, the young rose.tree,

 That all the spring has been my peasadnt nd sae' And when its roses bloom, shall be gone away-my short course run | And will you not bestow sing ono Upon my tomb? 1 .Now, mother, sing the tune

 You sang last night; I'm weary, and must sleep: Who pas t caued my name? Nay, do not weep You'll all come soon! Morning spreads over earth her rosy wings,

 And that meek sufferer, cold and ivory pale, Came through the open window, freighted with The fragrant od0rs of the lovely spring.

 He breathed it not The laugh of pesser-by l Jared like a discord in some mournfnl notes But worried not his slumber. He was dead!

In l fact, New-YOrk has been pointed to as an example for all true democrats throughout the Union.

 But 10! change has come over the face of things 1 New-York has thrown off the shackles which have rious democraey~ has spurned the foul spirit of Loco-Focosm-she has nobly refused the test which modern radicalism would have forced upon her-and 1 promulgators of these new-fangled notions.
