Stokbs WiLLia, of Detroit, were auug at the cloau üi the exorcises iü tho l'resbyterian Church, ou Wednesday April 19th. the day uf tho late President Lwcolx's funeral. - Ed. Abuus.] Now wake the requiem 's soleinn moan, For him whose patriot taak is done ! A nation's heart stands still to-day With horror, o'er hU maityred clay 1 0, God of Peace, repress the ira Which filis our souls with vengeful fire ! Vengeance is thine,- and Sovereign miglit, Alune, eau such a crime requite ! Farewell, tliou good and guileless heart ! The ruanliest tears for thee raust start ! E'en those at times who blamed thee here, Now deeply sorrow o'er thy bier. 0, Jesus, grant him sweet repose, Who, like thee, seemed to Iove his foes ! l'hose foes, like thine, their wrath to spend, lave slaiü their bet, their firmest friend ! [olokia.] 'raise God from hom all chast'nings flow ! 'raise Him all sorrowing hearta below! 'raise Himabove, ye martyred host, 'raise Father, Sou, and Holy Ghost !
