And o'er whose mortal sickness hovering Faith

Shed heaven's content, there was no further need

Of tutelage like that by which we learn,

Too slow, perchance, with vacillating minds,

What the disciples of our Lord should be;

For when the subjugation to God's will

Is perfect, and affliction all disarmed,

Is not life's lesson done?

[ MARTHA AGNES BONNER, ]

Child of Robert Bonner, Esq., died at New York, April 28th, 1859, aged 13 months.
