tion to and brighten the pathway of
his fellow men , is the wish of his hum
ble nephew.
The Last Poem of the Bard of Lone Jack
Writ ten by Martin Rice after read ,
ing in the Case County , ( Mo. ) JUemo
crat that the poet laureate of Jackson
county was dying at his old home near
Lone Jack :
'Tis saieJ that I am t/iing ,
In the paper It is said
And there is no den ) leg
The truth of what I've read.
The flickering of the taper ,
Is a warning true no doubt
That as stilted in the paper
The light will soon go out.
That candle h s been hunting
For seven aud eighty years.
While to oust have been returning
The early pioneers.
The oldest of the number
Of my living late compeers
Who here in toll or alumucr
Have passed eight and b'ixty years ,
Has seen the country flourish ,
And it's wealth and power expand ,
And a family to nouiisli.
Has toiled with head aud hand
1 am waiting for the boatman
Patiently i w iir ,
The bugle of the boa'man
bounding at the gate. /
Prepare to meet the master
And render thy account ;
His steps ? re marching faster , -
llow last I cannot count.
. . ' - The weakening of the senses ;
j- Th many sinking spehs
In spite of all pretensvs
An eatly death foretells.
The little I've accomplished
The milch that's left undone ,
Alay soon be known and pub tailed
"When I am dead and gone
My house Is set in order
And if heaven trills it so
That I shall cross the border
I am n sidy now logo.
And If f.iiih is not illusion '
If the grave is not the end
I bo.c at life's conclusion
' A Joi ger life to speed.
