Fugaces

Labuntur anni.

To Him whose wisdom guides us,
Whose providence provides us

With all we want below :
We bring our hymns united,
And pour our praise delighted,
A grateful spirit's overflow.
Years follow years :—and ages
In history's mournful pages,

Seem less than passing days. What do they leave behind them? A ruined pile we find them,

That lifts its proud head and decays.

Short is the date of glory;
But man's delusive story
Lasts longer far than he :
And when his praise is spoken→
He lies-a pillar broken-
In deserts of obscurity.

The stars that sparkled o'er him,
The streams that flowed before him,
Move on-tho' he is fled.
The flowers he watch'd are blowing,
The trees he planted, growing;

But he, their sovran Lord,' is dead.
What is the lily stronger?
And can the rose last longer

Than this proud frame of ours? Man's breath the north-wind freezes, And even the Zephyr's breezes

Can chill his heart and crush his
pow'rs. ·

Dew of the morning sprinkled,
Leaf of the noon-tide wrinkled,
And sinking into clay :
Though scatter'd-gracious Father!
Thy mortal children gather

Into Thy fold of endless day.

OBITUARY.

1822, March 4, at Montgomery Square, Pennsylvania, America, ANN, the wife of John MORTIMER, late of Wareham, in Dorsetshire.

She was cut off in the prime of her days, being only 29 years of age. She had been married not quite seven years; in which period she had borne four children, all of whom survive her; the youngest only fourteen days old. On the 18th February she gave birth to this child, under circumstances highly encouraging; and until Thursday the 28th, appearances were so flattering and, alas! so deceitful, that a day did not pass without calling forth the thankfulness and gratitude of her heart. Towards the close of the last-mentioned day, whilst indulging in these feelings to her husband, she observed that she had never found herself so well before at the end of a month after child-birth, as she did then. Early the following morning she complained of a pain in the head, which increased in a few hours to a delirium, in which state she continued until a few hours before her death, when she became composed, expressed her hope and confidence in the mercy and love of God, bade an affectionate farewell to her husband and a kind English friend who had some time sojourned with them, and breathed her last without the appearance of a single symptom of pain either of body or mind!

In a life devoted to the habitual and exemplary discharge of the conjugal, maternal and domestic duties, but few incidents occur which can interest the public; and, perhaps, in the present case, an apology is necessary for passing the bounds of a mere formal notice of her death. Yet, the writer of this trusts he may be borne with, while dwelling for a moment on her many virtues, and lamenting his irreparable loss.

From early associations she had imbibed those religious notions usually deemed Calvinistic. Of late years, however, she had formed more liberal and cousoling views of the Divine Person and Government, and had most cordially, and from conviction, adopted the sentiments of Unitarianism. But her religion was of a more substantial nature, than an ostentatious profession of it. Her judgment was solid and discriminating, her perceptions quick, her temper placid, but at the same time, lively and cheerful. During the perils of a long voyage, and

the subsequent troubles, difficulties and disappointments incident to a settlement in a foreign land, amidst new scenes and new associations, her presence of mind, her prudence, her fortitude, her cheerfulness, never forsook her: difficulties, under which many would have sunk, seemed only to stimulate her to fresh exertions, and to rouse energies that had never before been called into action.

Not a month previous to her decease, her husband, at the request of some friends at Montgomery Square, delivered a public Lecture "on the origin, nature and design of Sacred Music, with hints on the manner in which it should be performed." The deceased collected and furnished many subjects for this Lecture, in one of which she dwelt particularly on the beautifully poetic idea of departed spirits in heaven, listening with delight to the devotional praises of their friends on earth! Little indeed was it then apprehended, that a bereaved husband was so soon to be called by Providence to derive a melancholy consolation from this doctrine.

Beloved Spirit! "Thou hast first
Begun the travel of Eternity!
I gaze amid the stars,

And think that thou art there,
Unfetter'd as the thought that follows
thee."
Montgomery Square,
near Philadelphia,
April 27, 1822.

J. M.

April 20th, at Newbury, in the 85th year of his age, and in the full possession of all his faculties, the Rev. DAVID JAMES. He arose as usual between seven and eight o'clock in apparent good health, engaged in prayer with his family, and made a hearty breakfast. Soon after he sat down to write a letter to a friend at a distance, and while he was thus employed, he expired in an instant without a single groan. It seems most probable his dismission was so sudden and easy, that he was exempted even from the passing idea of its near approach.

He was Pastor of the Old Presbyterian Congregation in Newbury, for the long period of 44 years, during which he was held in the highest esteem, and his miuisterial labours were most deservedly valued by the united, respectable and affectionate people of his charge. He re
