Unsullied, o'er its countless snares to rise

From earthly care—to rest,—from war—to peace,—

From chance and change,—to everlasting bliss.

Give praise to God.

[ COLONEL H. L. MILLER, ]

Died at Hartford, December 30th, 1861.

Sorrow and Joy collude. One mansion hears

The children shouting o'er their Christmas Tree,

While in the next resound the widow's wail

And weeping of the fatherless. So walk
