A heritage secure.

GEORGE ARNOLD.
GREENWOOD, NOVEMBER 13, 1865.

We stood around the dreamless form

Whose strength was so untimely shaken,

Whose sleep not all our love could warm,

Nor any dearest voice awaken;

And while the Autumn breathed her sighs,

And dropped a thousand leafy glories,

And all the pathways, and the skies,

Were mindful of his songs and stories,
