Thus the iron hand of death, There was no bell for to toll,
Laid heavy on, and stopped the breath, But many a briny tear did fall-
Of one who lived but to beguile, With anxious looks our hearts did tell,
Our lonely moments, with a smile. Little Sarah, dear, farewell!
Beloved she lived, beloved she died, Ye, little Sarah, lovely one,
Her fathers joy and mothers pride- Sleep on, sleep on, till Christ shall come-
Beloved by all who did her see, Then thou wilt rise, shake off they dust,
Yea, and more beloved by me. And be numbered with the just.
For deligate [delegate]to Congress from Iowa, AUGUSTUS C. DODGE.
For Council from Lee county, EDWARD JOHNSON.
