Chatham, October, 1856.
These lines were given to me by Senator Ferguson, who thinks they must have been written by Rev. Mr. Knight, Sr., who retired from the Methodist ministry and lived in Chatham.

Undimmed by tears and uncursed by crime,
There death hath the power no more to reign,
For they live forever, and they know no pain,—
