DAILY PROGRESS: 8ATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 2, 1858. ."BY THEKEQUEST OF A LADY FRIEND. Tis difiacult to feel that she is dead. -Her presence like the shadow of a wing, That is just lessening in the upper sky, Lingers upon us We can hear her voice, . ; And for her step we listen, and the eye Looks for be wonted coming-with a strange, N Forgetful earnestness. We cannot feel, ' That she will no more come that from her cheek. The delicate flush has faded and the light, iDead in her soft dark eye, and on her lip, That was so exquisitely pure, the dew lOt the damp grave has fallen ! Who so loved, i Is left among the living ? Who hath watched The world with such a winning loveliness, And on its bright brief pourney gathered up Such treasures of affection ? She was loved Only as idols are. She was the pride Of her familiar sphere the daily joy Of all who on her gracefulness might gaze, ' And in the light and music of her way, Have a companion's portion. Who could feel, While looking upon, beauty, sucn as hers, That it would ever perish f Tt is like - .. i". The melting of a star into the sky, While you are gazing on it, or a dream, In its most ravishing sweetness rudely broken. n. p. irons. . GENERAL DIRECTORY. TOWN AND COUNTY GOVERNMENT. .
