DUSTY JECDRDS Yield Up Interesting Matter —Poem “Histry of Life” ' Comes to Light. WRITTEN 60 YEARS AGO By Ban Buren Simcoke and Filed Away in County Clerk’s Office. Court matters are not all prosaic. Delving away among the dust and cob-webs of nearly a ceutry, John Schurger, the veteran abstractor, conies across many interesting things. While looking up matters in the old William Elzey estate in the clerk’s office today, he came across a poem, marked, “original,” and signed by- “Van Buren Simcoke, typographer,” February 25, 1855, entitled “History of a Life." Simcoke was then, sixty years ago. an assistant in the office of his father, the clerk, and doubtless had time to philosophize and write the poem, according to the inscription, which seems to have been written by him. The poem follows: I saw an infant in its mother's arms And left it sleeping. Days passed. I saw a girl with woman’s charms In sorrow weeping. Days passed. 1 saw a mother witii her child And o’er it languish. Days brought me back, yet through her tears she smiled In deeper anguish. I left her. Days had vanished. I returned And stood before her. A lamp betide the childless widow burned, Grief’s mantle o’er her. In tears I found her whom I left in tears On God relying. Ami i ,gain ii turn : after days And found her dying. An infant first, and then a maiden fair, A wife, a mother, And then a wife, a widow in despair, Thus met a brother. And thus we meet on earth, and thus we part, , To meet, O never, Till death beholds the spirits leave the heart, To live forever. — o s— NOTICE.
