Died at Centreville, October 1861, or phoid Fever, H. MA.Ly DarINGT.o ,aged 18 years. Lost I lost. to earth 1-His youthful form, Sleeps calmly rn Virginia's soil, Unmoved by chilling wind;.or storm' -By passions beat, or ruditu9rmoil. He to his country gave his aL, d A life so full of joy and light, We searce could- think that it would fall, j Beneath disease's withering blight. I Lost! lost to earth I-Death had the pow'r 2 To pale his cheek, to dim hseye, To still the voice, to crush the flower, To catch aray the last, long sigh: But one was near, 0 precious thought When earthly love could not avail, In the dark hour so terror-fraught, His grace doth evermore prevail. He fill'd his heart with love and peace, He stay'd his youthful spirit-up, He bade each troubled billow pe#e, And mix'd with-joy his dying cup. "Sweet Jesus" was his precious theme, The pure swan-notes were caugbt'toheaven, And now where saints and seraphs gleam, . Where tears are wiped, and sins forgiv'z, Amid the glorious martyr throug,' Who cast their crowns before the throne, te atiikes his harp and still the song, Is praise to Him who aves lone, Yet, by each beaming glance and smile, By pleasant words in kindhesi spokef By winning way, ingenuous wile, By each and every loving token, Within the hearts-of cherish'd friends, Dear Manly isembalmed for aye, And time and- earth will fail to readi The.preious memory away.
