O that day of desolation! O that hour of dumb despair! Why, instead, was I not taken-- The fading leaf the bud to spare? Why thy joyous life thus ended? Why wert born thus to die? Whither hast thy spirit wended-- Here a moment then to fly? Come, O Faith, in all thy gladness, Lift me high above my woe; Leave with God this hour of darkness, Seeking not the cause to know. Nevermore, my son, I'll clasp thee, Nevermore thy voice I'll hear. Till I scan the towers of Salem See thee and the Saviour dear. * * * * * HISTORY OF THE SETTLEMENT of the Counties of Huntingdon, Chateauguay, and Beauharnois, 584 pp. $2.
