Heaven never had one in store for me. Where are fled my anticipated joys. ? To the bo som, the dark bosom of the oblivious tomb ! There lie all the graces worthy of love in life all the virtues worthy of lamentation in death. . There lies perfection perfection has here been found. Was she not all that even heaven could demand ? Fair, lovely, holy and virtuous. Her tender solicitudes, her enrapturing endearments, her soul- inspiring blandishments--- gone gone &LON20 forever ! That heavenly form,... that discriminate mind all lovely as light all pure as a seraph's a prey to worms mingle d with incorporeal shad ows, regardless of former inquietudes or delights, regardless of the keen angui&h which now wrings tears of blood from my despairing heart ! Eter nal Disposer ol events ! if virtue be thy special care, why is the fairest flower in the garden of in nocence and purity blasted like a noxious weed? Why is the bright gem of excellence trampled in the dust like a worthless pebble ? Why is Melissa hurried to the tomb ?"'Thus raved A- lonzo.
