LINES

Written on the death of the late liuuntuu CRAIG, of Middleton.

\VEEKI and months have ﬂown away, And days gone ﬂeeting by, I Since It fair one left her earthly home,

For a happy one on high.

Her mother cherished fondest hopes, l’pnu her circle fair;

llnll Ihc not trusty-d in her God, Who does the way prepare.

To relieve the sorrow Ilrlckun heart, lierel't of dearest tics,

She would have full beneath the load, of mortal IIgoIIicII.

An Heaven is higher than the earth, And far beyond our gaze,

In iliimitublc unknown space; Ilia ways are not our ways.

Ilc know: liis own, He them does call, (No earthly hand can sluy,)

Their earthly pilgrimage is done, They quit thi-I mortal clay.

“or mother to her hcdsidc cattle, To hear those accents true,

“ I now must leave my earthly home, I cannot stay with you."

“ My Master's call I must obey, Iic dwells in heaven above,

0 dearest mother, 1 cannot stay, I feel iliu dying lore l"

She called the circle to her side, The family compact. true,

She gave them kind endearing words, To earth then bade adieu.

Before she closed her eyes in death, They rested on one near,

That look-o meaning in itself, Called forth It silent. tear.

“This world is full of vanity, it The unstable mini dccoya,

I would you all could come with me, Leave earth's remorselcas joys.

“ Many were the hours of pleasure, we Did unsiouxly pursue,

They were hours of happiness, They never pleasure knew ."

“ 0 vain and tranaitory world! Who can in thcc delight?

When thou dost mock the sweetest hope, The tZIirc-It prospects blight.

“ There is It home, a happy home, Where reigns enjoyment. true;

0 seek that home, and with me come, I hid you all, .\IJ|I’.L' .'"

Methinks I see that pleasant smile, That mild, complacent look.

That ever graced her friendly home, Ere she the carlh forsouk.

Intrepid monster, cruel death, Unseen by mortal eye, Thy mission it to break the hands That hind sweet. fricnship‘s tie. Acacr. Middleton, Feb. ii, 18157.
